The villa is beautiful inside and Federica was extremely kind (even offering to loan us her car when our rental broke down) and attentive to us during our stay. Because she basically only speaks Italian, and we only speak English, almost all of our communications were done through texting so that made things a little more difficult, but we made it work. We enjoyed being able to cook and do laundry during our five days in the villa. I think it may be in the listing, but the bedroom is in a loft up a narrow flight of stairs and they can be a little hard to navigate if you have climbing issues. The villa is located about 20 minutes from the center of Lecce and we easily made several trips to each coast from the villa. There is plenty of storage space for your clothes. We felt very much at home and comfortable in the villa.
