SWEETHOMELECCE CATHEDRAL VIEW

We were curious about southern Italy. Researched Lecce. Beautiful baroque historic center. Way too much grafitti near university. They really need to do something about that. Nice museums and theaters. Great food.

I partly chose this place for its terrace, but the constant rain meant I never used it! Never mind, it was a comfortable place to stay, well located, good quality bedding.I didn't mind the stairs (66 up to the apartment), but be aware that there is no lift.

Giovanni met us and helped carry luggage! There are many steps but the property was great! Lecce is an interesting city visiting.

Had a very pleasant stay at Giovanni apartment close to old town and handy for everything. Giovanni had great information and tips for restaurants etc and it made the stay more pleasurable. Many thanks Jim & Dawn

We had a great week staying in Giovanni's lovely apartment. The apartment was even more spacious than we expected from the photos. The location is fantastic, just a couple of minutes walk from the Old Town. Giovanni was a great host giving us lots of helpful recommendations. The terrace is lovely for relaxing and eating outside.

The apartment was clean and as pictured. Giancarlo had supplied the kitchen with basics, most importantly with coffee and milk. He met us on arrival and showed us around, explained places to park, good restaurants, etc.

We stayed here for five days--it was a perfect base from which to explore Lecce and Puglia. Giovanni was an excellent host--he met us personally at the apartment to orient us and checked in with us midway through our stay to make sure we were ok. His restaurant recommendations were good and when he learned we were traveling on to Rome, he even emailed a few suggestions for meals there. The apartment is quite roomy--we were only two people, but because the living area--which had a pullout couch--had a door, it seems as if the space would work well for friends traveling together or a family, since there was privacy for the second bedroom as well as two full bathrooms. We were even able to enjoy eating breakfast in the covered porch area in early November. We'd definitely stay here again if we were traveling in this area!

We spent a week at Giovanni’s apartment, just outside the wall in Lecce, and loved every minute. Giovanni greeted us when we arrived, and gave us great tips for parking, sightseeing and restaurants. We tried two restaurants (molto bene!), and the experiences added to our trip. The apartment is well-equipped with a nice kitchen (including coffee) and a fabulous terrace where we began and ended each day. It is close to everything, yet quiet since it is away from the busiest streets. One note: the apartment is on the 2nd level (American 3rd floor), so be prepared to walk up 60+ steps. Highly recommended.

Lecce is the one of my favorite city in Italy. There are many wonderful restaurants in Lecce, but there is very few comfortable room to stay especially in winter, because most of B&B and hotel is too cold. This Giovanni's appartement is the one of best appartment of Lecce in my experience. This appartment is enough large, it has separate heating, hot water. There are convenient kitchen, big refrigerator and terrace, besides two bathrooms. Supermarket is just Three minutes walks. The owner, Giovanni, is very kind person. He came to the Brindisi airport to pick us up and help us to bring our luggages to the room. And he let me know very tasty restaurants. I would like to come back to this appartment soon.

We had a fantastic time in this apartment. We had a late flight so Giovanni picked us up from the airport and took us to the flat which was much appreciated. He gave us some great advice for day trips, beaches to go to and places to eat. The apartment was very clean, spacious and modern. It provided a great base to explore lecce, close to the old town, bus stop and train station. I would definitely stay here again!
