This little place is a gem. The location is perfect--central, but also quiet--and the hostess is kindness personified. The terrace is every bit as charming as in the photos, and you have it all to yourself. The space is small but bright and well supplied. As sofa-beds go, this mattress is pretty good (although on the firm side).
There was one "fly in the ointment": a strange whistling noise coming from the plumbing system that, according to the plumber, arose from fluctuations in water pressure. As I understand it, the problem was aggravated by the recent draught, and there is no easy fix. (I went on to encounter precisely the same issue in the next place I stayed, here in Apulia.)
To sum up: I have vacationed in Lecce every summer for 20 years, and this was one of my best experiences with hosts and accommodations. Grazie, Chiara!
