Giuliana's apartment was incredible. It is in the historic centre of Lecce and it's part of an old 17th century palace. It has the highest ceilings I've ever seen.
We had a car and were able to park it in the provided shared garage, which was invaluable. If you're going to rent a car make sure it's smallish as negotiating the narrow, winding streets of Lecce is tricky.
We would gladly stay in Giuliana's apartment again. Both her and her husband (Giuseppe) were very helpful and quickly responded to our requests.
