Dimora san Giovanni is as stunning in the flesh as it appears in the photo's. Anna Lisa has converted and furnished this historic building beautifully with great style and attention to detail. Although we stayed during an untypically cold winter, the apartment was cosy and very comfortable. We took both apartments to accommodate my wife and I and our two adult sons. The arrangement suited us perfectly. Although the property is right in the centre of San Cesario di Lecce and just a short drive away from Lecce itself, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. We were able to park right next to the property and had only a short stroll to reach the bars, shops and covered market. Anna Lisa was very welcoming and helpful and kept in touch to provide us with tips for places to visit and things to do. She is a mine of information about which restaurants to try, not just locally but over the whole of Salento. She provide us with some lovely treats and basic supplies for our arrival, including sufficient coffee for our whole stay. San Cesario di Lecce is charming itself and is in a great location for visiting the numerous historic centres, national parks and coastal walks that the area has to offer. We very much enjoyed cooking family meals utilising the fabulous fresh produce that's available in the town Market and local shops, including grilling the most enormous and succulent steaks and fish on the patio barbeque. We had a great time. Thanks Anna Lisa
