If you are going to visit Lecce, this is the perfect place to stay, in a 16th century palace right beside the duomo in the centre of Lecce. A beautifully furnished, very spacious apartment, with views over the duomo, you can feel right at the heart of the city, yet when the windows are closed there's perfect silence. We felt priveleged to be able to look down on the other tourists from our perfectly positioned place. There's also a lovely patio to relax on which is rare in the heart of a city. The hostess Donatello is helpful and friendly and there was lots of useful information to hand. The apartment is on the second floor, and they're palace floors so higher than most, but we didn't find it a problem, just a justification to consume another coissant!
