I have to say that this was the most well-equipped accommodation we stayed in during our tour of Puglia. We were met by Alessandra, who had patiently awaited our late arrival due to a train delay and helped us upstairs with our luggage.
The apartment is situated along a quiet street just off Via Leonardo Prato, so just a short walk from all the major interesting sights of Baroque Lecce.
Roberta had provided us with all the information we required for our purchases to indulge in our favourite pastime - cooking and eating. There is a panificio, two fruit & veg shops and an excellent fresh fish shop along Viale Taranto just beyond the Porta Napoli and a Super Mac supermarket a little further on.
The apartment includes a central dining table in the kitchen, but most of the time, with the weather being so good, we were able to enjoy our evening meals on the rooftop terrace as the evening light faded and the setting sun turned the azure sky into a vivid red. For sure, Roberta’s rooftop terrace, with its fabulous view, is the finest restaurant in Lecce.
