Corte dei Florio Lecce CIELO Luxury apartment

Everything was sparkling clean and up to date.

Corte dei Florio was a nice apartment in the heart of Lecce. Just a half flight up was a rooftop lounge with a small refreshing pool and views of Lecce. Anna, our property manager, was wonderful. She responded immediately every time I needed something. We arrived Thursday and discovered Friday that the air conditioner was not putting out cool air. Anna and the owner got a technician there by Monday and it was fixed. In the meantime they brought an electric fan to the apt. Parking was .4 mile from the apartment. Parkejoo parking was clean and secure. If you have any mobility issues, this apartment is not for you. It was on the 3rd floor (“2nd” in Europe) with no elevator. We appreciated the kind welcome!

Our stay had everything we wanted. The location was perfect as we could fly into Brindisi, travel by Airport bus to Lecce Bus station and walk 14mins to the apartment. The apartment itself has everything you needed with a private balcony to relax. The roof terrace with the plunge pool is like an oasis in a miriade of rooftops. The view over the rooftops is just perfect and gives you sight of all the historic buildings of Leece. Defiantly close to the city centre with a 5 minute walk to Porta Napoli. Paola was a very nice lady who met us on arrival and gave us additional information of places to visit. 10 out 10 for historical touring.

Perfect place to stay in Lecce

We had a lovely time staying in the Lecce old town. The apartment is perfectly located, spacious and pristine. The rooftop was a lovely bonus. Check in and out was easy and communication was good. The only minor negative was that the bed dipped in the middle which seemed to be caused by the mattress topper so it wasn’t as comfy as it could have been. Otherwise, a wonderful stay and we’d highly recommend to others visiting this beautiful town.

We had an apartment on the 3rd (top floor) in an old restored palace in the historical town (great location). There is no elevator so beware if you have a lot of luggage. Parking is outside the old centre but easy to manage after dropping off luggage - only need to pay from 9-2 and costs 3 euros. The apartment is newly renovated, modern, comfortable and clean. Separate bedroom and lots of what you need in the kitchen (could use a toaster and perhaps a few more dishes and wine glasses). The roof top terrace is a lovely spot to relax and a jump in the small pool was very refreshing. The laundry machines for free use were a bonus.

Stylishly renovated portion of a 400 year old palace. Superb attention to detail in the decor and fit-out. The roof top (shared with other guests) was an oasis with its pool, loungers and alfresco areas. There were good cooking facilities, but we had all meals out with only some nibbles & wine on the roof top. Location was excellent, but, as with most ancient walled cities, easy to get lost - and parking is located outside the walls. Our first visit to Lecce, and was only for 4 days, but we look forward to returning for a longer stay - and hopefully to this apartment.
