Lecce is a truly graceful city, and I can’t imagine a more appropriate place to land. The communication was easy, the location was not only central, but awe inspiring, and Francesco was more than accommodating with maps, suggestions, information, and even a welcome bottle of wine. We tried a number of restaurants on his list, and as traveling professionals, we were not let down. The apartment itself was delightful: comfortable, well appointed, elegant and sophisticated. Three flights of stairs may dissuade the heavy luggage travelers, however those familiar with the area, who respect the charm of a well kept home, and enjoy a quiet reprieve from the city will keep this place on their radar.
