We stayed in the apartment in central Torre Lapillo with a nice terrace with an awning for 8 days in early June. We especially liked its location as it took minutes to walk to the beaches, supermarkets and restaurants, bars and cafes/gelato shops. The buses that run from Lecce and Porto Cesareo to other beaches in Salento were not yet running in June, but this was no issue for us as the beaches in Torre Lapillo are great too. Whenever we needed something, the office managing the apartment went out of their to help us. We will certainly return!
