The place in the very heart of Lecce is outstanding. You need to get used with envious tourists that look at you when you leave the sumptuous palace they just got presented by their guide. The rooms are marvellous and decorated with great taste - both of Gustavo and of his ancestors a few hundred years ago. Gustavo was very kind to tell us the story of the house, gave us very valuable tips for Lecce and Salentino. When we had an issue with the coffee maker not working, it was replaced immediately.
Old houses are known for their particular atmosphere. That is why nobility left the cities during summer ans spent the hot season on the countryside. Today, remedy are modern appliances as air-condition. If they are not working properly, nights can become less comfortable, regardless of a cosy bed.
The kitchen is well equipped but too small to prepare anything more than breakfast, a snack or a salad at night. Not a real problem as the offer of restaurants is abundant and, see above, Gustavo is very generous with good advice.
