We absolutely adore Barbara's home in the heart of Lecce. One stays in a place like this for is it's historical authenticity-- arched stone ceilings, marble floors, ensconced kitchenette, and the most beautiful light coming in from the thick framed windows throughout the apartment. The gorgeous surprise is the rooftop terrace-- perfect for tea time and which also brought out the poet in me do to the inspiring views all the way around.
Barbara herself is a very chic and lovely woman and her place reflects who she is as well. We'd love to stay there again sometime!
