Our stay in Lecce was perfect. Alessandro was very communicative, provided suggestions of things to do and places to eat. He welcomed us early and allowed us to check in and bring our luggage in, which was really helpful since we had a short stay. Lecce is beautiful and the old town is easily covered out the door on foot. Churches abound. I wish I knew more of the history of the city prior to arrival—so study up. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return-go check out this southern Italian treasure and stay with Alessandro. Fyi the lodging is set up like two suites, perfect for two couples. Possibly not great if you want to stay in and cook, just don’t do it!!
