Our stay in Lecce at Giovanna's Terrace was quite excellent! Giovanna made sure she arranged to be present for our arrival. She greeted us and directed us where to park on the street. The terrace apartment with a beautiful garden was a very relaxing and unique space to spend our time in while visiting Lecce. While the bedroom and bathroom are a little small, they were just right for us and a new AC allowed us to stay nice and cool while we slept. The rest of the space, which is an indoor/outdoor blend is large and clean. The unique style of the apartment was very charming. Giovanna was also considerate and provided water, juice, coffee, milk and a couple of snacks to use enjoy during our stay. It was also comforting ot know that our host lived in the same building should anything come up.
The location is amazing, just a 2-minute walk from the historical center without being in the busy tourist section. It is also a block a way from a grocery story which came in handy. We drove from Otranto and the city is pretty easy to drive through and navigate. We also took a short 20-30 minute drive to the coast where we enjoyed the beautiful Adriatic sea for the day and returned to Lecce to explore more and enjoy dinner and drinks.
What a cool city and wonderful Airbnb!
