The location of the property is excellent, right in the heart of the old city near to all the significant sights of Lecce including the amphitheatre and central piazza where we spent some gorgeous evenings listening to music and watching the Leccese promendade. There are plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby. Annamaria was ready to check us in when we arrived and showed us the very spacious and quiet residence. The apartment is set off the street in a beautiful and peaceful courtyard and very clean. Even though the furnishings are grand and old, everything is very comfortable with two exceptions. The kitchen needs an upgrade with new utensils including a kettle, saucepans, crockery and proper, cleaning equipment including new sponges and cleaning agents. The stove was difficult to manage and the fridge was not effective in hot weather. The bathroom was adequate but the shower needs improvement. Even though Annamaria tried to help us re-connect with the wifi, we were never able to connect in the downstairs apartment where we were located. A router needs to be installed downstairs. Annamaria kindly drove us to the station upon check out and overall we enjoyed our stay in this quiet, peaceful apartment. A bit of upgrading in the bathroom and kitchen would make it perfect.
