This residence truly exceeded our expectations and we were amazed, but also very grateful, that Marcella is willing to share it with guests.
The high ceilings and impeccable decor with a fine eye for details along with spotless cleanliness make this a true gem to stay in. The outside terrace is another huge plus, offering privacy and an outdoor experience while on the edge of a large bustling Italian city.
The location is also perfect for someone who is looking for a peaceful and quiet place to stay while at the same time being only a few minutes walk from the center of Lecce and all its attractions.
There was plenty of parking available on the road in front of the residence and it was never a problem to find a nearby spot.
Marcella was extremely helpful, suggesting ideas to us for local places to visit for day trips and establishments to pick up some of the specific food ideas we were in quest of. Most notable were our trips to:
-Otranto
-Gallipoli
-Cantina Bonsegna in Nardo (our request to visit a local winery).
Other recommendations appreciated were:
-Pasticceria Luca Capilungo for amazing pasteries and local breakfast specialty: pasticiotti
-Le Mani in Pasta to pick up sandwiches or other local favorites for our day trips
The shopping was great and although we were usually tired and in bed by 11:00 pm, there seemed to be quite the night life in Lecce.
Thank you for being such a great host Marcella and when we return to Lecce we will be certain to look you up!
