SWEETHOMELECCE TOWN CENTER

Lecce apt notesWe stayed in Lecce for almost a month. The apartment is perfectly located in the old town. It’s on a quiet street and within easy walking distance to everything. There is also plenty of free parking in a nearby neighborhood outside the Porta Napoli. It’s to close to food markets and we were able to cook a number of meals at home. Our host Giovanni was a gem. He’s one of the most responsive hosts I’ve met in my travels. He really wanted to accommodate us. Lecce is great base for exploring Salento.

I like the property very much. It's well situated, comfortable, but the spiral staircase to the loft bedroom may not be for everybody, though I liked it.

All is.perfect. the place, te huose, the city

Giovanni is a great host, he will assist you with everything you need. The apartment is beautiful, located directly in the old city center with parking (and charging) possibilities just outside the town wall.

The property is located in the old city and makes an excellent base for exploring. It is full of character which adds to its appeal. We enjoyed the croissants, chocolate biscuits, milk etc provided, and we appreciated that it was possible to use Netflix on the TV. Giovanni, the property manager, was very easy to contact and was hugely helpful with parking our car outside the ZTL area. On arrival he came and found us when we got lost and on the departure morning he drove us back to our car....grazie mille Giovanni!

Lecce is charming and Giovanni’s place is perfect for spending some relaxing time visiting the city. The apartment is in a real neighborhood but a short walk out the door takes you to all the sites and many restaurants and cafes (and shopping!). Giovanni is a great host and goes out of his way to be helpful and offer good advice on where to eat etc. I really enjoyed my visit and highly recommend this apartment with the tiny proviso that the staircase to the lovely bedroom is not for everyone.

We spent a wonderful 5 nites in this apartment in Lecce at the end of september. The city is beautiful and the location of the apartment was amazing. The street it is on is so beautiful and quiet. We were able to walk everywhere easily. I was a bit worried about the parking but it turned out to be very easy and inexpensive. We could actually drive to the apartment to drop off and pick up our luggage so long as it was within the allowed hours. The apartment is large and comfortable. It is well furnished and the bed and linen were very good. Giovanni was an amazing host and was very easy to communicate with and very prompt. He gave us lots of advice on beaches, restaurants, parking, grocery shops etc... Thank ou so much Giovanni for an incaredible stay in Lecce!

My husband and I spent 10 days in Giovanni's house which was a great base for exploring lovely Puglia. We drove out to beachs on both east and west coasts each day, based on Giovanni's daily weather and wind forecasts which were really helpful. Each night we wandered around Lecce just marvelling at it's amazing acitecture and beauty. We ate and drank out every night overwhelmed at the amount of superb bars and restaurants. I would definitely recommend having a car to get around the area, easy parking costing 2€ a day in Lecce. A great holiday, we will definitely go back again. Thanks Giovanni.x

Giovanni was a very nice person and good at recommending restaurants all over Southern Puglia. The flat clean and well equipped, Good situated but you need a car to get around and to shop for food. Sorry about the football matches between Sweden and Italy. Retired swedish couple.

A lovely and very well appointed apartment in the historic centre, only a few minutes walk from the centre with all the bars, cafes and sights. Everything you could need was in the apartment, all very clean and even some welcoming food and drink. Giovanni was most helpful on directions, greeting us, explaining how everything worked (listen very carefully) and giving us tips on where to go, what to see and what beaches are good, depending on the weather/wind! He couldn't be more helpful. Plenty of space, with a good dining area, a nice lounge, good kitchen, great bathroom (shower was good), upstairs bedroom was lovely with much needed air-con (use the spiral staircase carefully) and a very spacious cellar with a big table and more sofas/beds. Only downsides a) was parking was a couple of streets away, but Giovanni again advised us where to park for the best rates (2-3 Euros per day, take lots of coins if you can) b) Not a lot of outside space, but you are in the centre of town, so we often sat outside a local, friendly cafe in the glorious sunshine (it was hot, averaging 35+) reading etc. In summary, a great location and a good base for exploring the heel of Italy. Highly recommended.
