This pin-neat apartment is perfectly placed for gentle strolling through the gorgeous streets of the old town. Lecce is at its atmospheric best at night, when the baroque buildings are beautifully lit and locals of all ages - even the smallest children - come out to play. It feels very safe and welcoming and the people are just lovely. Everything is in reach from the apartment and the private roof terrace, with its views across the city (and so many beautiful bell towers!), is the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. I loved watching the swallows swooping and swirling overhead. Fausto is a helpful, responsive and considerate host, with some spot-on recommendations for eating (we especially liked Volo and Mama Elvira's Enoteca) and wonderful local sights. We loved staying in an old palazzo - I've always wanted to go behind those giant doors! We were in Lecce during a heatwave, so the air conditioning was most welcome. Thoroughly recommended!
