The farmhouse is a great space, huge in fact! The living room is immense and the bedrooms are both really good sizes. The bathrooms were good although the water pressure is a little low but I think from my experiences, this is relatively common in a lot of places in Italy (even Rome!).
There are two pools in the grounds of the old farmhouse, a little one in front of the apartment and one a little walk away (about 25 metres) just off the courtyard of the house. Both are very much needed to cool off and are very well maintained by Abdul the groundsman.
Parking is ample and the tree cover makes sure your vehicle is never too hot, even when it's 30+ degrees. Vida the local dog and her cat friends will no doubt come and say hello as soon as you arrive! Vida is happy to lay in the sun or shade but sometimes the cats do try to make it into the apartment so be aware!
The farmhouse is easy to find but I would recommend doing a Google Earth search for it once you have the address so you know where you are going. It is a little tucked away but shouldn't be difficult to locate.
Getting into the city is easy if you're driving, and if you are happy to walk a little way, there are plenty of free parking spaces in the residential streets just outside the centre of the city. And if you're a football fan, the Lecce stadium is only about a 15 minute drive away from the house!
There are lots of small towns to visit in the local area as well as some good beaches but many are quite rocky so be prepared for those too!
Overall, it's a great place in a superb location and we would happily return.
