This sweet, ground floor, 1500 year old beauty of a home is great and all....but Giuseppe makes is magical! He was absolutely at my service and quite honestly i felt like royalty because of how completely helpful he was. The space is totally clean and has everything you need for bottled water, coffee (bialetti espresso style), tea, cooking, etc. The tiny street it sits on is exceptionally quiet and calm. Every morning I would open the front windows which sit almost 2 meters above street level and play opera while making and enjoying my coffee and I only saw maybe 10 people stroll by, but you only see the top of their heads. The bed is firm and comfortable. There is a natural scent of dampness due to the dwelling being build completely out of stone - much like a wine cellar. But it is by no means a bad smell, rather the scent of earth. Anyway....if you want to feel like a Lecce local, stay here! Grazie mille Giuseppe. I will return :)
