Gaia's house is beautiful and right in the heart of the old city. The stairs are not for the faint-hearted but the reward is a fabulous vaulted ceiling in the main bedroom and sunny kitchen and cute terrace with a view of the duomo tower on the top floor. It is easily accessible from the station and you can pop to the food market morning or afternoon, buy all your produce and have a lovely chat to the vendors. The fish store is separate (nearer the station on Via Don Bosco) - it's worth trying some of the local catch. Overall, Lecce is stunning and the people charming and welcoming. Our 3 year old loved running around in the Duomo square, saying 'Ciao' to the Italian bambini and eating gelato. We stayed 4 days and there was lots to do, see and eat!
