I stayed in Lecce during my road trip through Italy. Not aware of the city or area this was very pleasant surprise. City is very vibrant with lot of life after sunset, historical character is omnipresent. In close vicinity there are couple of nature reserves and beaches with public access and great access to the sea. There are multiple kitesurfing spots in close vicinity (15 minutes drive) with one being the nicest flat water used for the sport I have ever seen but there is a lot of fishing going on if you are in the game.
The apartmen Simona is offering has real charm and will surprise you as it does not look too attractive from outise being a hidden gem inside. Everything is super stylish with nice touch of traditional italian character, There is a free parking spot nearby but not on the property itself. Groceries are 5 minutes walk down the road, city center aprox. 10-15 minutes walk. A lot of good shops and restaurants in the area. I would recommend this place to couples with kid but it suits solos too. I really enjoy some good Netflix shows, cooked a dinner and chilled in fully airconditioned living room, kitchen and bedroom. Shower was nice and clean no issues with hot water or toilets ( there is even a bidett in the bathroom). Again everywhere in the apartment one can feel a touch of art and italian culture. Hope to get around lecce again and enjoy the place once more.
