We stayed in Fernando's studio apartment for 5 days in September. We had planned on spending most of the time at the surrounding beaches but unfortunately had a series of thunderstorms in our way. Fortunately the apartment was more than adequate for relaxation and exploring Lecce. It is well located in terms of the major sights and Fernando kindly picked us up from the station when we arrived. We do not speak Italian but the communication barrier didn't bother us, Fernando's English was more than sufficient to get us by. The kitchen is useful for cooking meals and there was enough space for us to get around. Bathroom is a little unusual with more of a wet room type shower, but the water was hot and shower still comfortable. Most usefully, when we realised our departure port was wrong, Fernando kindly came to the rescue and got us to the station in great time! We would recommend this place for a couple wanting to explore Lecce or the 'heel' in general. There is also a great little trattoria at the end of the street that was delicious.
