Although worryingly quiet via Airbnb, Gianluca was extremely helpful over the phone, especially with some last-minute difficulties we had with Alitalia, and we were met at his place by the lovely Denise. It's a very short walk to the old town centre but a 5 minute walk to cheap parking in the street (pay 60 cents per hour from 9 to 12 only). Gianluca provided a wonderful address for authentic local cuisine (trattoria "Le Zie") just round the corner (tiny but delicious... remember to book - the aunties felt like family:) . Only slight down side was the musty smell owing to the winter damp (can't be helped with those old stone walls), and it was not quite what my wife would call "warm" in December... but must be perfect to escape from the heat in the summer :) Enjoyed our day trip to Otranto (vast quantities of Salice Salentino, cheese and cured meats outside in the garden, in the December sun, at l'Ortalo - very friendly owner!). Can't go wrong with Doppiozero for drinks and supper in Lecce - go for the spaghetti with truffles, if you like that sort of thing :) Well be back !
