We stayed in Lecce for 2 weeks. Manuela's parents picked us up at the train station and welcomed us with kindness and delicious savoury snacks called "rustico", to immediately help us acclimatize to Italy. They showed us the gorgeous and spacious apartment and all its many amenities, then left us to take a nap after our exhausting journey. In the following days they helped us frequently with tips about events or locations, as well as helping us rent a car as we hadn't done it at the airport. The apartment itself is breathtakingly lovely, from its high ceilings to its vintage tiles and kitchen fresco. It is in an absolutely perfect location- a few streets away from the bustle of the historic centre, meaning peace and solitude while you rest, but just a short trip to the local shops or restaurants, and a less than 10 minute walk to the heart of the city. In our 2 week stay we grew quite attached to our hosts and were sorry to say goodbye to them. They got up at dawn to see us off, with snacks for our ride to the airport. We highly recommend Chez Moi to anyone and hope to return one day in the future!
