I can only repeat what others have said.... a really tranquil and private spot just outside of the main town of Lecce. We walked easily into the town which was full of art and culture, not too busy as just approaching the tourist season. We were also extremely well placed for getting easily onto the major routes to travel elsewhere. The house was delightfully appointed, being tastefully decorated, the grounds were peaceful and secure and the bed most comfortable. We saw Laura - Mario's mother - just a couple of times. She was utterly charming and available should we have needed anything. I cannot recommended this listing too highly, it was all we wanted and more.
