What a lovely 4 weeks. A huge thank you to Barbara, her family, Nori and Fran. It's exactly as the other reviews say. Great location, everyone is very helpful. If I had any problems they were sorted straight away. And they weren't really problems. Just a light bulb to change or when the WiFi didn't pick up it was quickly resolved. I would say that it's great for 2 but a bit difficult for 3 because the third bed is a pull out single sofa bed in the lounge and you need to go through the main bedroom to get to the bathroom. My parents stayed with me for a couple of days so we had to muck in but I mention this only if you are 3 adults travelling. The roof terrace is a gem in the city and I loved sitting up there reading.
Some great restaurants in the city. Doppiozero on via petronelli. Volo is just around the corner from there. Mamma Elvira enoteca just passed the Basilica. And don't discount Locanda rivoli. Just off Piazza D'Oronzo it's honest eating and we had incredible grilled bass there.
The only thing to point out is that parking is no longer free in the old city. It wasn't a huge problem because you can park just outside the city gate for about €5 a day but if you have a budget make sure you include that.
The train station is really near and has good connections.
And I can't forget to mention the gorgeous dog that greets you when you come home. The palazzo has a shared main door and this house then has its own door once inside the courtyard.
All in all a great location to use as a point to explore Lecce and the whole of the region! I hope to be back....
