Francesco welcomed us in a most gracious manner. He is soft spoken but direct, and extremely polite, and he will go out of his way to be helpful. He gets all the stars!
And the apartment gets equal stars plus applause.
It is ample, airy, modern, and totally functional. The artwork on the walls is eye-catching and thought provoking. The lighting is well balanced. Details abound—all in excellent taste. The shower —great water pressure, the washer is easy to work, and the kitchen offers all the basics one would need to prepare a meal if going out is not an option (now and then).
The distance to the (beautiful, elegant!!) historic center of Lecce is minimal, maybe 7-8 minutes.
The apartment is located in a residential area. This allows a guest to feel local, a little. Be sure to walk into the “Panificio” (:bakery) around the corner (on the way to the historic center): the breads, sweet and savory, are outstanding!
All around, Gramma, by Francesco, is THE option for a stay in Lecce!
