The place has great advantages: it is right in the middle of the old town of Lecce, its has that great Italian flair and provides everything you need for a comfortable stay and you can definitely schedule some beach days! But the most significant about it is the best local tour guide and very kind host John, who helped us out with all our questions! He knows Lecce in and out and could give us great recommendations on restaurants and beaches. He also kindly provided us with anti-mosquito equipment, when we were not prepared. Thank you John! And last, but not least: the good reputation about the breakfast is well-deserved! Parking is a 10 mins walk outside the old town and has a daily fee that you would need to pay. Driving into the apartment is not easy but John guided us through very well!
