Anna's place was perfect. And she was such a great host. The secret garden is right in the old town of Lecce. Close enough to a very affordable parking lot (60cents an hour as of May 2017!) that you can easily walk your bags in and also close enough to the heart of the old town that walking to the main tourist thoroughfare took only 5 minutes. Yet the apartment is tucked down a little passage so you feel secluded and the evenings are very quiet and peaceful.
Anna helped us find the parking lot and get settled in the apartment. She had great communication before our stay and when we were checking out she let us know about a garden tour that happened to be going on that day.
And on top of the perfect location and fabulous host the apartment itself is beautiful. The real highlight being the back terrace. Perfect for reading in the hammock swing, eating a nice brunch or sitting out with a glass of wine planning your next day in Lecce or the surrounding town.
Definitely recommended and we've already mentally started planning our next trip to the secret garden. 2 nights were not enough !
