What a stunning place to stay! The family owned palazzo of host Michele is spacious (we stayed in two (!) huge rooms) and sparsely, yet very tastefully decorated. It is in the middle of town, so access by car is complicated. Luckily Michele was more than willing to meet us and drive our car to Il Banano through masses of strolling tourists and the very narrow 'senso unico' alleys in the center of Lecce. As Michele is born and raised in Lecce he knows all about the best places to drink and dine. We defenitely recommend staying at Il Banano! Charlotte & Everhard
