The window on the Cathedral

An amazing apartment in an amazing city! Four of us spent 1 week enjoying this lovely 2 bedroom apartment in the very center of historic Lecce. The apartment is historic, filled with beautiful antique furnishings and interesting decor. Air offers two modern bathrooms and kitchen, great WiFi, an amazing huge terrace on the top of the building, and offers everything one needs to enjoy their stay: this is not a place stripped of the details, rather it is brimming with wonderful things! The owners are so very kind and were extremely helpful. Definitely HIGHLY recommend

Wow the property was amazing location is perfect. The terrace is the icing on the cake. I cannot believe we were able to stay in such a stunning property. On the terrace on Saturday morning we could hear the accordion player from the square it was beautiful. The terrace is so private and not overlooked we spent lovely afternoons relaxing with a bottle and snacks. I believe someone had commented on it looking tired. Sorry but I do not understand that comment at all. This home has so much character the decor inside is beautiful and fits perfectly with the surroundings. The apartment was spotless and there was everything you could need for a wonderful stay. Plenty of information on Lecce and beaches in the vicinity take note of the comments on wind direction. Lecce itself was the perfect town so many great places to eat and gorgeous shops and buildings to explore. At the top of our list of favourite places in Italy. Streets are so quiet in the morning I even went for a jog it was so peaceful. We will definitely be back and would happily recommend to friends and family. We slept so well in the master bedroom such a lovely big comfortable bed. Can't wait to return.

Location very central and great views of cathedral. Double glazing very effective. Apartment great character but tired in places. Small kitchen. Private roof great. We knew about 62 steps but do not underestimate your fitness levels

I saw the reviews and could not believe there were so many positive ones. Now I know they are all true!! The location can’t be any better for exploring the historic portion of Lecce. The apartment is large and feels like you are in a museum. Everything is provided. I wanted to hire the cleaning lady because everything (kitchen, bathrooms, refrigerator, furniture) are spectacularly clean. Although you are adjacent to the Piazza del Duomo and on a major tourist street….open the windows at night and you can here singers and musicians outside…close the soundproof windows and the only thing you hear are the church bells. It is amazing how effective they are. The owners are sweet and responsive people. All questions are answered in minutes! They are very fair in mentioning in the listing that, as in all antique buildings in Italy, there are 60 steps to the apartment. No issue for us but for someone with physical limitations this would certainly be a problem. Maybe the best property we have stayed at and extremely pleased with our stay. A definite 10/10

Right next to Cathedral square and in the heart of the old town. The rooftop outside area is perfect for eating outdoors. Highly recommended

This is an amazing property. It’s right in the heart of old town. Near everything. But with the windows closed, perfectly quiet (except for occasional church bells that just add to the ambiance). We loved sitting on the patio or staring out the windows to watch people go by and enjoy the change in lighting and rhythms of the day and night. It’s a spacious old world home with modern amenities. Perfect for accessing all parts of Lecce or enjoying a quiet meal at home. The owners went out of their way to answer questions and provide assistance. The much discussed stairs were quite manageable. We are a couple around 70 and had no issues. We stayed for 10 days so even had time to use the washing machine. This was the perfect place to feel like we were a part of something, not just passing through. Would love to come back.

A beautiful apartment in a perfect location! We stayed for 18 days, and really felt like we had a home away from home. Everything that we needed was provided, along with unexpected extras that added to our comfort. The steps to the apartment were indeed a bit of a workout, but they helped to mitigate the potential weight gain from the great food in Lecce. Costanza, our hostess, was helpful, and kind. We would happily stay here again if we returned to Lecce!

“Window on the Cathedral” says it all. This is a fantastic Apartment, complete with rooftop terrace and fantastic location. It is very spacious and furnished beautifully, including a washing machine and ironing board and plentiful reading material in multiple languages. The best part was communication with our host, Francesco. He responded immediately to any question I had, and he was particularly helpful in arranging to reserve parking in an attended lot for us. We then walked our bags to the apartment where his son met us to help carry them up the stairs. And speaking of stairs, there are a lot of them, but they are easy to manage because they are wide and have handrails, especially for seniors like us .Timing for check-in and ease of check-in went like clockwork.. Lecce is a great city to explore and we did two side trips to Gallipoli and also Otranto with easy in and out of the parking lot. Window on the Cathedral is a terrific place to stay, convenient to all areas of historic Lecce with an incredibly communicative host,and easy parking situation. It was a nice touch to have pastries on the kitchen table welcoming us.Grazie Mille ,Francesco!

We had the most incredible stay at this stunning apartment in the heart of Lecce, Italy! The location couldn't be more perfect - literally next door to the breathtaking Piazza del Duomo. The apartment itself was spacious and beautifully decorated. The hosts included details to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. From the plush furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen, we wanted for nothing. The views were amazing and the sound proof windows allowed us to shut out the street noise while still enjoying the nighttime views. But what truly sets this apartment apart is its convenient location. We could easily explore Lecce's historic center, indulge in delicious food and wine, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere - all just steps from the apartment. The hosts were so kind and accommodating. We would love to return to this amazing apartment the next time we visit.

Fantastic location to see all the sights. Apartment was beautifully appointed. Hosts were accommodating and wonderful to work with. We loved every moment of our month's stay. In Lecce,make this your stop!
