Fantastic central location in Lecce within easy walking distance to all major sights, restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was well appointed, clean, and spacious, with beatiful high alcoved ceilings. There was a small sheltered private patio at the rear with steps leading up to a private sun terrace. Francesco had already asked for our rental car's registration plate number in advance allowing us to drive into the 'zona traffico limita' and park right outside the apartment where we were met by his parents who checked us in; we had to pay a €2 per person per night tax, which apparently is not a compulsory thing. We were informed we were only allowed to park outside for up to 20 minutes in order to either load or unload bags. Francesco's father Giorgio then guided us to a free parking area which is only a few minutes away by foot. Milk, juice and some water were provided in the fridge and there was a 'breakfast trolley' which contained a few biscuits, cellophane-wrapped pastries, tea bags and coffee. Lecce is a wonderful and interesting city, and this apartment is a perfect base to explore from.
