Poessia ‘attic’ hosted by Alessandra is indeed a special place (particularly given the rates – at least when I stayed in June 2019). First of all, this is really a beautiful apartment located ideally inside the walls of the old city of Lecce. It has many special touches in terms of décor, and is the perfect place to enjoy Lecce – with four ‘Juliet’ balconies and the amazing large private terrace above. The place is actually more spacious than the listing shows (and the word ‘attic’ might confuse some English speakers who read the listing – this is a full apartment with the high Puglia style stone ceilings – that help keep apartment cool I think - along with the a/c :)). It has all the modern conveniences in living room and kitchen (possible exception is microwave but who needs when so many good restaurants nearby). Bedroom is spacious as is modernly renovated bathroom (only accessible through bedroom, in case not clear). Alessandra and locally based cohost Fernando were very responsive to my questions/requests and I really appreciated that. I stayed three weeks, and the living room bed worked well when I had guests. As other reviewers have indicated – an excellent place to enjoy all that Lecce and the region has to offer from. (Note – only taxis can drive into the Old Town, but inexpensive parking nearby recommended by hosts just out of the restricted area – 5 min walk – was not a problem. The train station is also quite walkable at about 10-12 min – although I had heavy luggage so not an option.) You will be lucky to book this place!
