We stayed at Katia's place for 5 nights, and we couldn't have wished for a nicer place and nicer hosts. The apartment itself is gorgeous. It was spotless, fresh and really well decorated.
The garden was just as amazing. It was really well maintained, and had areas throughout the day to catch some sun, and shaded areas if you needed some respite from it. Perfect for all ages. There's a lovely pool too. There's also a large bbq and eating/resting area which is shaded from the sun. This really was the cherry on the cake for us.
Katia and her husband made us feel very welcome, and gave us great advice with regards to local attractions, as well as advising us on the best beaches to go to depending on the wind direction and overall weather conditions. This information they gave us was priceless.
We would definitely stay at Katia's apartment again if we were visiting Lecce.
