We had a fantastic experience in Giovanni's wonderful home. It is in a very convenient and safe location, only a few minutes walk from the centro historico. Two things really made the experience so much better than we had anticipated.
Firstly, Giovanni and his family made us feel so very welcome, they went out of their way to make our stay in Lecce unforgettable. We have to point out that Francesco (Giovanni's son) speaks excellent English.
Secondly, their home is stunning. It has all the amenities you could wish for (including the best cake we had eaten in Italy!) and is so tastefully designed and decorated with an impressive attention to detail. Really, it is experiences like this that makes you experience the fact that Airbnb exists!
If anyone is considering going to Lecce, you should definitely consider staying here.
Highly recommended.
Thanks again!
