The highlight of our vacations in beautiful Puglia, La Casa d’Artista
Words do not suffice to describe our pleasure to discover this magnificent appartment in the heart of Lecce, but more than that, to make the acquaintance of John Duggan!
John came to meet us at Porta di Napoli, in order to direct us to the apparment. As I told John, he was a thunderstruck for me. What a warm personality, what a laugh, a big warm voice. Definitely, someone you would want to make friends with.
On top of everything, a very talented artist!
Now, about this appartment, I would prefer to say this home, as it is certainly not only a house, but rather nicely a home you long to get back to!
Everything is there for your comfort. It is beautifully decorated, in the true spirit of the era, the bedding is just perfect, very comfortable.
You have access to a bedroom, living room, dining room, a beautiful indoor terrace giving access to a gorgeous garden with trees (pommegranate, lemon, banana) and lots of grassy plants, chairs to enjoy the scenery and relax), the kitchen and a nice bathroom with a shower larger than those usually found in Italy.
In the morning, you are treated to a gargantuan breakfast, delicious, composed of croissants, breads, proscuitto, cooked ham, fresh cheese, various fresh fruits, pommegranate seeds, etc., fresh juice and milk to taint your coffee.
I have not had the chance to meet John’s lovely wife, Angela, but it just makes me think that my wish to go back will come true.
John, Angela, thank you for creating this perfect place to call our home during our stay in Lecce!
