About this property
Beautiful, romantic and central
At 100 meters from Piazza Sant'Oronzo, from the castle of Carlo V and from all the rooms, a beautiful, spacious and bright apartment on the first floor of a historic building consisting of an equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and two pretty little balconies. Star vaults in Lecce stone. Wood beams. Finely furnished, suitable for a couple, possibly with a child up to 1 year, who like to stay in the historic center and have everything within walking distance, without giving up their privacy. Not suitable for children. The apartment is located in a small courtyard and has been recently renovated. We rent it at an absolutely promotional daily price considerably lower than the category average (it is a house and not a room!) because at the beginning of activity. We are very jealous of it! Inside you will find everything we thought you might need. Breakfast set, milk, coffee, tea and biscuits included. Also included is an exclusive welcome set for the bathroom and an excellent bottle of local Salento wine. It is possible to access the court by car at the allowed times to unload luggage, but do not stop. The parking lots, for a fee, are 50 meters away. Free parking spaces can be found within 500 meters. Very convenient for those arriving in Lecce by train. A real bargain only for 2019, for attentive and respectful people, willing to reciprocate our courtesy. We are waiting for you !!! SOME NOTES: During the stay, guests will have a phone number at their disposal to contact for any particular need. The house has some simple rules that we ask our guests to respect: 1) Smoking is not permitted 2) We love animals, but unfortunately their access is not allowed, even if they are small 3) It is not allowed to move the furniture or change the distribution of the furniture 5) We love our home! Treat it as if it were yours! 6) Tourist tax not included equal to 2 euros per person for the first 5 days 7) The house has two double beds. If you want to use both, there is a supplement of 5 euros to be paid once

Nice spacious apartment. Clean, comfortable, and beautiful Host was great - good communication, left breakfast treats, wine, water, and enough amenities to start.
Comfortable & peaceful apartment in old city centre
Lovely atmospheric apartment very close to all the main sites in Lecce. Very spacious with large private terrace.
Easy check-in & departure & helpful host with local advice & knowledge.
This is nicest property I have ever stayed in with Vrbo. The whole building is made of stone, and the craftsmanship is outstanding! The location is also perfect. Close to everything there is to see, yet quiet. Perfect in every way.
Perfectly located, beautifully furnished to complement the traditional architecture. Immaculately clean, spacious with a rooftop terrace. We had an amazing time.
Luigi was very accomodating and easy to deal with. We would love to go back.

We spent 4 nights at this property in the Centro Storica of Lecce to begin a month long visit to Italy. We can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable and convenient apartment and enjoys an authentic Italian experience. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to do our own cooking. Luigi, the property manager could not have been more helpful in providing information on what to see and where to eat (which we did twice just 20 steps from the apartment at Mama Elvira’s). The rooftop terrace was also very nice for al fresco dining when we cooked ourselves. This deserves 5 stars across the board.
This is a superb apartment with a private entry in the baroque city center of Lecce but away from the tourist traffic. It is near groceries, restaurants and shopping. There is a municipal parking lot very close by. The apartment is in a historic stone building; the thick walls and lofty ceiling (as well as air conditioning and a fan) keep it cool but there are plenty of wndows. The apartment has a rooftop terrace that is lovely in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use. The property manager was very attentive and welcoming.
Everything about our time in this home in Lecce was wonderful. The house really feels like home, all of the furnishings are very comfortable, especially the beds. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our occasional dinners, when we weren’t eating at one of the many great restaurants within walking distance. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of local wine and everything we needed for our first breakfast. As our visit was during colder weather we only had a couple of chances to enjoy an evening aperitif on the rooftop patio, it is very pleasant and I’m sure it would be great when warmer. I cannot say enough positive things about Luigi, our host. Aside from being just an incredibly nice person he’s very responsive and made sure that every aspect of our stay was outstanding.If we are in Lecce again we would absolutely stay in this home again, it was an outstanding experience.
Fantastic apartment really close to all the major attractions in the Old Town. Clean, comfortable and Luigi had left things for breakfast and a nice bottle of wine.!!Highly recommended....
Luigi’s home is absolutely beautiful, well appointed with all that we needed. The stone work is gorgeous and beds comfortable. Able to explore Lecce and surrounds, whilst still wanting to come home and feel at ease, thankyou for a wonderful stay
The apartment is a short walk from EVERYTHING and such a nice place to begin and end the day. Luigi checked in with me before, during, and after our stay, and he made sure we were fully taken care of. I highly recommend!
Fantastic property and location. Loved the rooftop terrace and 2 balconies—one facing each side of the cortile. About 3 minute walk to the heart of Centro Storico. I only want to warn that there are lots of stairs, so this would not work for those with mobility challenges. Also a but challenging—but do-able and worth it—if you have large luggage. Try to take a 22” bag or smaller if you stay here. It is very spacious and well equipped. An absolute gem and great value.

Great apartment, great location
The apartment is lovely, loads of character, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic location, very close to the main attractions and restaurants in Lecce's centro storico. Even though close to the centre it is on a quiet street so no noise problems. The owners are great, Luigi was easy to contact and his father and mother were very welcoming and helpful meeting us for check in and showing us where to park. A bottle of local wine and other supplies were left for us in the fridge and a voucher for morning coffee and pastry at a nearby cafe was a nice touch and much appreciated. Highly recommended, hopefully we'll make it back one day!

We greatly enjoyed our extended stay in Lecce, and this elegant apartment close to the major piazza in the historic center was perfect for us. Each morning we could easily stroll into the piazza for coffee and pastry and enjoy the morning sunshine. The apartment is located in a cul de sac so it is very quiet and secure. The bathroom and kitchen are modern, and the bed and furnishings comfortable. There is ample room to spread out plans for activities. Luigi provided a welcoming basket of breakfast snacks and a bottle of wine for us. We like to be independent travelers, so the apartment was an excellent find for us, and I’m sure that others like us would enjoy a stay in this lovely apartment as well. If we return to the region someday, we would surely want to stay in the apartment again.
The photos accurately show how beautiful this home is, reflecting the architectural style in Lecce. The location was perfect, just a block or so from the Piazza Sant'Oronzo with its great bakery, gelateria, restaurants, and people, at the beginning of the main walking street in the centro storico. Kitchen is small but had all we needed for our 4-day stay. Rooftop terrace was lovely for an afternoon glass of wine. Everything in this large home was clean. We used both bedrooms - note that the upstairs bedroom has an open loft and the downstairs bedroom has a curtain for a door so for us, snoring echoed from one floor to the other. Host Luigi responded quickly to all my emails and WhatApp texts before and during the stay. He is over-the-top kind, thorough, and welcoming. We had the lucky opportunity to cross paths with
him at the Rome train station and met briefly for coffee - he is warm and gracious. If I were to return to Lecce, I would stay here for certain. Highly recommended.
Très bel appartement typique de la région à proximité de tout mais un peu bruyant à l’extérieur le samedi soir.
Le matériel de la cuisine était complet. Nous avons apprécié la terrasse.
Magnifique logement, soigné, propre. Parfaitement localisé. Restaurant La Cucina juste en bas que je recommande vivement. Nous avons été accueillis avec une bouteille de vin. C’est experience à Lecce a été tout bonnement géniale.
Charmerende lejlighed midt i den historiske bydel. Luigi har været meget venlig, selvom vi aflyste den sidste overnatning, da vores fly tilDanmark var blevet aflyst. Kommer gerne tilbage. Kan varmt anbefales.
Luigi ist ein sehr liebenswürdiger und zuverlässiger Vermieter, der alles dafür tut, dass es einen Gästen gut geht. Wir hatten fast täglich Kontakt und konnten uns mit allen Fragen an Luigi wenden. Zu unserer Überraschung war der Kühlschrank gefüllt. Es gab einen leckeren Begrüssungswein, Wasser, Milch, Espresso und jede Menge Dinge, mit denen man ein gutes italienisches Frühstuck machen konnte. Die Wohnung ist grosszügig und wunderschön eingerichtet. Es gibt auch eine riesige Dachterrasse. Bitte beachten Sie, dass es viele Stufen gibt, die den Charm des Hauses ausmachen.
Luigi est un hôte sans pareil: attentif et convivial et généreux. Nous avons eu des problèmes de wifi, pendant plus d’une journée, dont il n’était pas responsable, il a communiqué à de nombreuses occasions avec le fournisseur et nous a amplement dédommagés. Une bouteille de vin de la région nous attendait à notre arrivée ainsi que plusieurs items de base: bouteille d’eau, lait, café, sucre et dépannage pour le petit déjeuner. L’appartement est grand, l’éclairage impeccable, le lit confortable, le tout à 2 minutes du centre. Étant un couple sénior avec certains problèmes de genoux l’accès a été difficile: c’est une maison d’époque parfaitement entretenue mais avec 20 marches pour accéder à l’étage et encore deux étages pour accéder à la terrasse. Nous n’avons donc pas profité de cet espace. L’eau chaude nous a aussi causé quelques soucis. Mais considérant la qualité de l’hébergement, la gentillesse du proprio et la proximité au centre, à conseiller. Nous étions en
transports public, à 15 minutes de la station. C’était parfait, apt climatisé et bien insonorisé.
Maison spacieuse et agréable située dans le centre historique dans une impasse calme, une belle lumière et une terrasse sur le toit permet de se reposer.
Logement très propre et décor épuré.
Luigi et son père sont très gentils, ils sont venus à notre rencontre au moment de la fête du Saint Patron.car le centre ville était fermé. Je recommande la maison de Luigi.
