The apartment is superbly located in the historic centre of Lecce. It is simple to get to when driving from the region's airports and the provision of a residents' parking permit is a lifeline in Lecce's busy streets.

We particularly liked the lovely spacious stone built terrace which looked out over a small piazza and church though, at the time, there was no shade provided.

At the price, the apartment could do with some tidying up. Light bulbs were blown, there was no gas for the cooker leaving only one electric ring. The WiFi didn't work all week, unless we stood in the bathroom and tapped into the manager's next door.

The Italian narrative for the apartment may explain this is in better detail but I would caution anyone who plans to take a party of more than two people. There are 2 double (or 4 single) beds on a galleried platform above the main room and then a double sofa bed in the main room. So, arguably six beds in one room. Equally the bathroom and kitchen equipment would struggle to handle more than 2 people.
