First of all, Giovanni and his son Francesco were perfect hosts. They have been renting this amazing building out for less than a year but they will continue to get great reviews because the building is fantasticly well equiped, unusual in form and their service spot on. The WiFi device was defect and they returned within 15 minutes with a replacement.
The tower itself is 5 minutes walk outside the old city on a somewhat busy street (not a great first impression) but the accomodation was probably the best I have experienced over many years with airbnb. We could park directly in front of the building, there were numerous supermarkets nearby and yet central to everything. We used this accomodation to visit not only Lecce but also to do tours further south. There are a lot of stairs and you have to watch your head. Small well equiped kitchen with plenty of supplies, huge modern and tastefully appointed bathroom, compact bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, a huge living room. The vaulted ceiling reminds you that it really is an old building. There is a pull down double bed here for more than two guests . There is air-conditioning everywhere if you need it but we just opened some windows to get a breeze through the tower. For us, the best aspect of this accomodation was the wonderful large and private roof terrace. There is a sun shade, plenty of space, extra fridge just inside the door for an evening glass of wine and extra coffee machine so you don't have to walk done to the kitchen. This is where we spent most of our time. A really good alternative to staying in the narrow old city 5 minutes away. Great value, elegant, unusual and great hosts.
