The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, we were blown away by the pool area when we arrived, it’s even nicer than the photos. It’s perfect for the hot weather, there’s a lovely outdoor dining area (and large indoor dining table if you prefer the cool aircon), the garden has sunny and shaded areas to suit everyone. The pool was spotlessly clean and was also cleaned once whilst we were there.
Stephania’s apartment has all the amenities needed for a great stay. The kitchen is well equipped, there is tonnes of living space and the bedrooms are nicely furnished and spacious. Two lovely bathrooms and an extra toilet and sink with the downstairs bedroom.
There is an underground garage for parking but we parked on the street as that is also free and easy to get a space.
Stephania and her husband were very helpful with anything we needed (we enquired about some super glue to mend our sons specs and it was with us in minutes!). We were left a delicious homemade meal one day by Stephania too which was a really nice gesture. There was a welcome pack with lots of snacks and some beers too which was great.
Lecce is a beautiful city, with so much history and an easy 15/20 mins walk from the flat. We ate out in the evenings as there are loads of reasonably priced trattorias and pizzerias to chose from, the local food is incredible! People eat out until very late, the town centre is buzzing and really friendly/safe.
There’s loads to see in other local villages/towns/beaches in the surrounding areas if you have a car.
We will definitely be back to Lecce and would love to stay again at Stephanias apartment! We can’t recommend it enough!
