Paula’s place is the perfect location for discovering Lecce’s historic center. It’s just a short walk from the Duomo (cathedral), the Basilica of Santa Croce and other major attractions, not to mention numerous gelaterias, wine bars and restaurants (Paula suggested a few restaurants that we really liked). Near the Porta Rudiae, only 5 minutes away, is a small supermarket (with interesting staff) where we often went to stock up on essentials. And if you are planning day trips to other destinations in the region, the railway station is only a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. As can be seen from the photos on this site, the B&B is cozy, spacious and very tastefully decorated. It’s situated off a very quiet, and quaint, courtyard. Paula herself was an extremely engaging, helpful and considerate host. She even left milk and fruit in the fridge for us, along with cookies, coffee and tea, to tide us over for the first few days (we were in Lecce on an extended stay). Bottom line: We really enjoyed this B&B and would gladly come back if we get the opportunity.
