I’ll start off by saying the place is super cute and located close to the center of Lecce’s restaurants and shops, truly a magical place.
If you have mobility issues beware, there are many steps. First leading to the entry to the apartment and then more to second bathroom and then again more to rooftop terrace where the washing machine is located.
Massimo’s daughter handles queries. So when the air conditioner refused to work for us it took a while for her to get back to us saying to check for more batteries but there were none so we had to buy them in town which was a search. Still didn’t work, she kept telling us about a button somewhere under a table but we couldn’t find it.
Also the TV would not work. When we complained to her she said oh I could come tomorrow morning if that’s OK and when I got back to her in the morning asking her to please do so, she never answered me so we were two days without air-conditioning and without a TV finally she sent a technician to come by and I guess her assistant and they got both working. I was disappointed at her slowness at taking care of us. It was pretty hot the first couple days we were there. Another problem we had was the coffee machine which was filthy I had a scrub it to get a clean and there was no coffee pods to be found anywhere no sugar. When I asked her where we could buy the pods she said any supermarket. There are no supermarkets in downtown Leche there’s only convenient stores which had none we had to go all the way to the college area find a supermarket and finally find Nespresso pods.
Another thing that was very frustrating was the shower it was very dark. lighting is terrible in the bathroom and very hard to adjust the water it was either boiling hot or cold. a slight turning of the dial couldn’t help. It’s such a shame because the apartment is so lovely they just need to take care of some things to get it working properly and being functional for people. Sorry I hate to write bad reviews but it’s the truth.
