Giuseppe's place in Lecce was great - a beautiful apartment with beautiful old stone walls that are grounding & peaceful. The furniture is nice and functional, and the space is perfect with a nice open kitchen with a dining table and couch where we were able to work, as well as relax. It's a ground floor street apartment, so not tons of light (but this is typical here) but what's beautiful is that in the bathroom (also beautiful stone) there's a skylight which brings in natural light. The decor is also very nice.
Note because of the location / stone walls, the apartment can be quite cold in winter (when we came - but this will help a lot in the hot summer!), but Giuseppe provided heating - even the bathroom has a nice heated towel rack. It is also quite humid, which is not a problem and even beneficial for some people, but just in case anyone likes a dry atmosphere - but I think this is typical of these old houses in Lecce. Giuseppe was also very kind & responsive - highly recommend!
