This was a great location, right in the heart of Lecce. In the summer you are immersed in the crowd that comes to the city, yet with simply closing the windows you have quiet in the very spacious (I mean SPACIOUS) room. Michele is an excellent host, and made breakfast a great Italian experience by sampling different local pastries - all delicious. Most of the time I felt like I had the great palazzo apartment to myself. And within blocks are many great restaurants with great Salento cuisine, local artists and wonderful gelato.
