This nice and very spatious apartment is located in quiet road of San Lazzaro, a very safe and not touristic/crowded area of the town. Immediately in the new center is only 3 minutes walking from piazza Mazzini and Via Trinchese, where the pedestrian area with shops, bar and restaurants can be walked to piazza S. Oronzo, the roman amphiteater and the old town.
A supermarket, a wine shop, and all other kind of facilities can be found right behind the corner, including an artisan dairy where you can buy fresh made mozzarella and other dairy specialties.
The renovated apartment is situated in an old house and in some areas the signs of time can be seen on the high vaults. This and some other aged details give a touch of romance to the environment
We found the dining and kitchen areas a bit uncomfortable because of the low room tempeature. We must also consider that we have been there in a very cold period, while the outside temperature has reached -2 centigrades, something very rare for that region.
I have spent a total of 15 years of my life in Lecce, have been in many houses there and can recommend this solution as one of the best value for money in town.
