The best thing about staying at Valentina’s is Valentina herself. We’ve never had such a lovely check in experience.
Valentina replied quickly to all messages before our stay and was happy to offer a cot, bed linen and duvet for our baby. She was so helpful and flexible with check in time and sent really helpful google map locations to free parking and the flat, so arrival was so easy.
On arrival Valentina was so kind, fun and helpful. She had provided essentials like tea, coffee, fresh milk and biscuits. She gave us restaurant tips. She then went above and beyond, walking us around the local neighbourhood to show us sights, restaurants and to introduce our baby to the locals. It was so wonderful and welcoming! She even messaged the next day to see how we were and offer some more tips!
The flat itself is lovely, spacious and stylish. The photos don’t do justice to the the space and especially the ceilings. The bed is really comfy (two pillows each and a good duvet!). The kitchen is small and not really equipped for cooking elaborate meals, but then Lecce is full of restaurants so most would go out to eat.
The location is perfect. The streets around are gorgeous and quiet. It is moments from the Main Street and Duomo and there is a great bistrot cafe just to the side (if only it didn’t have erratic and sporadic puglian opening times!) We were able to sit and have dinner one night at BiancodiBianco’s one of outdoor tables as they kindly put it by the door to the flat so we could sit with the baby monitor and enjoy our first meal out ‘alone’.
We can’t recommend Valentina’s enough, for home, location and just for meeting Valentina!
