Alessandra's villa is full of old world charm. Every room with stunning tile floors. The ceilings were incredibly tall. The bathrooms are clean and modern. The garden is well maintained and the different plants were fun to explore, from the cactus garden to the herb garden. The outdoor seating areas offer protection from the sun, a great place to relax. The neighborhood store has a great variety of meats, cheeses bread etc. for an al fresco meal. The drive into Lecce is pretty straightforward. Wifi works best in the front sitting room. Alessandra and Paola were very responsive when we ran into a few glitches. Security fence and off street parking a plus!
