Lecce is a beautiful city and we are very happy that we picked Fernando's place as our accommodation. You can't find a better location - The apartment is very centrally located in the historical part of the town, so you are close by everything, the bars, pubs, restaurants, museums, etc.

Back to the review:
The apartment is small but very cute and totally fine for two people travelling. It has everything you need, a kitchen (stocked with enough cooking supplies too!), an interestingly designed, but totally comfortable and functional bathroom (you'll know what I mean once you see it) and nicely decorated in all rooms. The bed was plenty comfortable. Fernando cleaned the apartment very well so it was a very comfortable stay. The internet connection is relatively weak unless you are near the desk inside the main door but it wasn't a big problem at all.

Fernando was so kind to pick us up from the station although he didn't have to and he is very friendly and helpful. Then, he even drove us back to the station at the end of his stay when he sensed we were running late - he definitely didn't have to do this and didn't expect it, but we totally appreciated all his kindness.

I would definitely recommend his place to anyone travelling to Lecce.

One of the highlights is definitely visiting Piccolo Bar, which is directly across from the main entrance of the castle (the biggest, most famous, main castle in Lecce). Piccolo Bar appears to be quite old and vintage and it is a family business since 1930s. The two brothers took over from their grandfather and fathers since the 1960s. We dropped by Piccolo every morning and met one of the brothers - Peppino whom made our trip very interesting with various stories and hospitalities.

Also, be sure visit the Museo Faggiano di Lecce (Archeological Museum by the Faggiano family where they are actively digging and finding more and more ancient ruins inside and underneath their house). It is 1 minute from Fernando's place.
