This was our first visit to Lecce and to Puglia, and it is definitely not going to be the last. Lecce is a beautiful town, with a hugely relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful buildings. We took a day trip to Gallipoli on the coast, and the water looked fantastic - in the summer it would be a wonderful place to take a dip!

Fernando was a fantastic host - very welcoming, friendly and informative. He was there to collect us from the station and dropped us off again at the end of our visit. He suggested lots of things to do in the town and region, as well as the all-important recommendations for best restaurants!!

Even though he lives next door to the apartment, he never intruded on our holiday, but, at the same time, was always there to have a friendly chat if we bumped into him. He is a genuine, kind and generous person.

The apartment is wonderful - it works perfectly for a couple, and is right in the centre so that everything, including the train station, is within walking distance. The area is exceedingly quiet so we slept very well, and the tiny kitchen works perfectly for simple suppers/ meals. The bathroom, like the rest of the apartment, is beautiful. This small space really helped make our holiday as special as it was.

Thank you Fernando - alla prossima!!!
