Where to even begin?! It was such a wonderful experience staying in Giuliana's gorgeous apartment. We keep coming back to Lecce for what an enchanting city it is, and I have to say that thanks to this Airbnb, it may have been our best stay yet. The positive experience began before we even set foot in the home as Giuliana was excellent at communicating and ensured a smooth check-in experience. Giuliana blew us away with her hospitality, offering great suggestions and even bringing us the best pasticciotti (the quintessential Lecce pastry) of our trip for breakfast. The apartment itself was breath-taking with characteristic Leccese high ceilings, white walls, and traditional stonework along the stairway that made everything feel extra luxe. (Despite that, the price was super reasonable!) The comfortable-sized kitchen and terrace made it an absolute delight to dine in, though the apartment's perfect position right in the historic center made it easy to walk to all of the requisite dining experiences. The parking options Giuliana offered us were comfortable for our daily trips to the beach.
