This property was great for our two couples to stay and explore Lecce. Ideally located close to everything. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and totally enjoyed our stay here. Maria was very helpful and accommodating.

We had a wonderful stay in Lecce. The city is beautiful and the location is very central. The house was very clean and nicer than the pictures. The rooms are beautiful and everything worked well. Maria was very helpful and communicative- thank you for making feel at home!
As a note when staying in the old city: parking will be a little distant, so expect to walk about 10 minutes.

Everything as advertised, very comfortable and clean. Hostess was very helpful, perfect central location.

Everything in the house was perfectly clean and aligned with the pictures. Very good site for the access to the city. The host were wery king and helpful (thank you). The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable. About the things to improve; 1. The parking is at least 700 meters and the access with luggage is complicated. 2. The exterior space is not very confortable (furnitures) and limited. 3. One thing that is missing is an interior space to sit and relax (sofas, etc.). The experience was positive. Thant you to our host.

We had a wonderful time in this historic walled city. The property is ideally located at the heart of everything going on. The property has stunning high arched ceilings. Bedrooms and living areas were as described.

This was my first time using VRBO internationally and I was extremely happy with the service and the owner. I really appreciated that they allowed a 100% refund as close to my stay and that they didn’t require final payment so far in advance. Many American rentals are not so generous or trusting. Fortunately, our travel went as expected and there was no need to cancel, etc.
The apartment was lovely and Maria Grazia was very helpful with the check-in process. She met us upon arrival and provided nice instructions in advance with parking options during our stay which was much appreciated. The location was central to the historic district, and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks through town and evening dinners out in lovely Lecce. Thank you!

Excellent communication, well equipped, great location. Would recommend.
Only thing was lack of comfy seating area. When relaxing between exorong Lecce and then going out in the evening had to sit on bed. Outside area small and in shade which is good in Sumner but we visited in April. the area with a small bed on floor could be changes to having a small sofa to sit on.

We had a great stay in Lecce. The Apartment is centrally located, a 2 minute walk from the old town and main piazza. It was well appointed, the hosts friendly and attentive, and had everything we needed. When we couldn't find a bread-board, Maria purchased one that same day and dropped it off. Nothing was too much trouble. Lecce was lovely and the apartment was very easy to live in for a short stay. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Marie Grazia is a lovely host. She met us at the station and took us to a supermarket. She was also super responsive when we had a problem.
A great location in the centre made everything
accessible. Commfortable bed
Very clean. The apartment is on the ground floor.
The heating works very efficiently.
It comprises of two good sized double bedrooms, two bathrooms a kitchen and a bed on the mezzanine. Although we knew this from the accurate description we had not realized that we would miss the option of having easy chairs.
The apartment and the bed felt slightly damp when we arrived. The heating was very useful.in sorting this for us.
5.0
It was a lovely space, although there is one thing that any potential renter should be aware of. Public parking is necessary, and because it's a busy spot, we never took day trips because we might come home in the evening and not be able to find a spot. Also, it was necessary to walk 15 minutes every morning at nine to put a day's worth of coins into the machine. It wasn't a huge thing, but it might be a factor for some.
One other thing, the kitchen could have been a little better equiped.
5.0
Great location in old town with 3 separate sleeping spaces. (The loft is a twin bed.) We did have an issue with the hot water, but Maria was very responsive and worked hard to resolve the issue.
4.0
I A wonderful location right in the middle of the old city. Perfect for two couples. Maria was always available to help us with our questions. The only drawback is that you can NOT park anywhere near this property as the listing says. The nearest parking lot is a 15 minute walk away and you need to plug the meter every day by 9:00am. Other than that the property was perfect.
2.0
Please be aware that some information regarding this property is inaccurate and misleading. The property is well presented and conveniently situated in the historic centre of the old city of Lecce, however as my wife suffers from mobility issues and is currently awaiting major orthopaedic surgery we specifically researched accommodation with onsite parking for our trip (as advertised at this property!) On arrival we found that the property is within the ZTL restricted traffic area and we had to park a considerable distance away in a “pay and display” car park leading to us having to curtail many of our planned excursions to the surrounding area and make frequent trips to feed a parking meter while our rental car enjoyed a more restful vacation than we did.
5.0
Wanting to see more of Puglia, my family and I anchored in Lecce for 4 nights. The apartment was in a great location, spacious, and pretty. The small courtyard made drying clothes easy. The only parking was paid parking outside of the ZTL, and the meter had to be maintained, which meant that my husband and to wake up and pay each morning before 9:00. We always found a parking spot as we came and went from the city, but a couple of times, that seemed like a small miracle. Additionally, there is AC in only one bedroom. We used the provided fan to pull the cool air through the apartment at night since we strayed there in July. I can imagine that the apartment gets warm only a couple months a year, as the vaulted stone ceilings kept things fairly comfortable even when it was stifling outside. Our host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this location, for sure.
5.0
Spacious, clean and a great location. Full sized kitchen was great as well as the private patio. The location could not be better, and for the size of this place it is a great value. The hosts picked me up at the airport and made everything as easy as possible. My only complaint is that the neighbors above are a bit loud, talk loudly until late hours. You can only hear this with the back door open (Master Bed). If you close it, then no noise. Great place, you won't be sorry.

Amazing stay in Lecce
We had a wonderful time in Lecce and Maria was a very helpful and gracious host. The apartment was in a great location, with shops, restaurants and historical sites in short walking distance. The apartment itself was also lovely, with all the amenities we needed for our 3 night stay. We would highly recommend!

Best stay in Lecce!
This has been the best vacation rental experience I’ve ever had. The hosts are so kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had an easy check in experience. The property was beautiful and spacious. The location was also wonderful. We were right in city center within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this rental for your next stay in Lecce!

Lecce treasure
Great old world feel inside and out at this apartment. Location can't be beat. Maria met us and helped us get our luggage to the apartment. She communicated very well and is a good hostess. We were sorry to leave and would enthusiastically return to this property!

Perfection in the heart of Lecce & Salento
Simply put, stay in this apartment/house for its ideal location in Lecce's historic centre, easy access to the Adriatic & Ionian coasts by car, and very welcoming and accommodating hosts!
Positive features only, among them:
- Unbeatable location: Located right in the middle of the buzzing old town, yet on a quiet quaint residential street. Immediate access to main sights, main squares with stunning architecture, restaurants, etc. A magnificent sandstone church marks where to turn off to find your Lecce home. Live like a local...and one who lives well.
- Spacious & comfortable interior with useful amenities: Bedrooms with high vaulted sandstone ceilings, large beds with good mattresses, full-sized kitchen with all necessities, two bathrooms (each with a shower!) & even a laundry room with excellent washing machine & laundry sink!
- Gracious hosts: The hosts are doing everything right. They ensure that you feel welcome upon arrival. They reply to texts, answer questions & make recommendations, showing that they genuinely care. Good, good people.
- Access to beaches on both coasts: Exit the city extremely easily to access highways to idyllic beaches on either the Adriatic or Ionian beaches.
- Excellent price: Very reasonable price for all of the above.
Basically, stay here when in Puglia if you want to enjoy town, country & sea.
Thank you!!

We spent a week in Lecce, staying in this wonderful apartment. I would so recommend it for anyone wanting to experience staying in the heart of the Lecce, yet enjoying the peaceful and calm surrounds the property gives. Right from the start Maurizio and Paola were wonderful hosts. Meeting us outside the City wall and guiding us though the narrow streets of old Lecce to drop off our luggage. They were very attentive to any queries or advice we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was visiting Maurizio in his wine shop and learning more about his passion for natural wines. On our departure he even transported our luggage to the our car, saving us negotiating the return trip into the historic centre. The apartment is only a matter of minutes from the centre of Lecce, so all the churches and restuarants are very close. We also used our car to explore other areas. We went to Gallipoli, Porto Cesareo (lovely beach), Alberobella and Ostuni. The apartment is spacious and very stylish. Because of the thick walls it remains cool even in the heat of the day. A very comfortable place to stay. Kath Andrews UK

Beautiful apartment in the Centro Storico di Lecce!
We spent 6 weeks in Lecce and would happily return for 6 more. The apartment is charming and exactly as described. No surprises! Maurizio and his wife were very accommodating and helpful - especially so as they live close by. We did not have a car and were able to walk to groceries, restaurants, coffee bars and shops as well it was an easy walk to the train station. Perfectly situation in a lovely town, we highly recommend the property!

Our Lecce Visit
Maurizio and Paola are excellent hosts. The property, for us , could not have been a better location. This wonderful VRBO, in the middle of Lecce, allowed us to explore the city by walking everywhere, every day, and was a wonderful home to return to from the various road trips we took, exploring Puglia. We loved it !

Wonderful experience
The apartment was in an excellent location and met all our needs. You can walk to everything you might want or need. Maurizio was an exceptional host. One of our group had a medical issue on Sunday, of course, and Maurizio went well beyond the call of duty to help us. He is a 10 star human being.

Simply amazing
Nothing could be better than this apt. The location is perfect. In old town but in a quite area, and about a 3 minute walk to the centre.
The apt was extremely well appointed and clean. Just note there is no actual living room. We used the kitchen and small courtyard to sit and talk.
The owners went out of their way to make our 1 week stay relaxing. They made restaurant reservations and even drove us to the train station. The welcome basket was much appreciated.
Would highly recommend this accommodation. You will not find anything better.

Great apartment in fantastic location
My husband and I stayed in this apartment in Lecce for 2 weeks in August with our 2 children aged 12 and 14. It is very well looked after with the perfect mix of modern decoration with original features. The kitchen is well equipped and a good size with plenty of room for cooking and eating together around the table. The outdoor space is a really pretty private courtyard and a lovely place to have a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful streets of the old town and is a stones throw from the churches, cathedrals, bars and restaurants.
Maurizio is a perfect host - from communication at the time we booked to meeting us when we arrived and ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. He made some excellent recommendations for the local restaurants and beaches and if you’re into natural / skin contact wines he has a shop close by where my husband and I bought some very delicious wines!!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment. Lecce is a beautiful city and the apartment made our stay exceptional.

Absolute gem in historic center
A beautiful and well appointed apartment accessible to everything you might want from this incredible baroque city in the enchanting land of Puglia. Maurizio and Paola are wonderful hosts, helpful and generous in all aspects. The apartment is exactly as listed, airy and fresh, clean with everything you might need. The small courtyard is perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon aperitivo. Everything is walking distance yet the location still feels private and away from all the tourist traps. Maurizio has a wonderful wine shop and we spent part of a day enjoying tasting his local wines and chatting about the region and it's history. I can't recommend a visit to this city and a stay in this wonderful apartment enough. Many more than five stars in my book.

A time to remember
Owner (who lives next door) was extremely helpful. He went out of his way to our stay was seamless
The apartment worked well for the four of us. Kitchen was well equipped beds comfortable.
The position could not have been better, close to the action, including the morning coffee, yet quiet.
We would love to return

Great location, lovely apartment but not so quiet
Maurizio is a charming landlord, very helpful and the apartment was lovely. The location is great for the centro historico, easy walking to everything despite being off the beaten track. However, the neighbours beside and above the apartment rise early and so if you are light sleepers like us you will probably be woken around 6 a.m. by the sound of heavy footsteps, showering etc above - though no noise from voices or TVs etc. The picture of the courtyard looks nice but is a little deceptive as it is actually a car park for the residents living around it so there are often 5 cars and so it is not as quiet as we had hoped. Maybe we are a little naive but if the picture showed the cars we would have had a different expectation.

Location perfect, great host.
Two bedroom, two bathroom renovated apartment in the historic old town and only 50 metres from the main shopping and eating strip. Ideal for our two couples with well equipped facilities and finishes.
Host Maurizio met us just out of the restricted traffic zone and led us to the apartment to unload and then to the 5 euro a day secure parking area to leave our cars. Then a lift back to the apartment for a stress free start to our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better welcome.
Tried a couple of his dining recommendations and both winners, particularly Fresco for cheap and cheerful seafood.
Highly recommended property for facilities, host assistance and location.

Our wonderful stay in Lecce
The highlight of our trip to Lecce was staying in a wonderful apartment walking distance to all attractions.
Maurizio and Paola went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
The apartment was huge, quality king size beds with linen to match.
A welcome pack was sitting on the table when we arrived which was really appreciated.
Everything was provided and top quality and spotlessly clean.
It’s not always you get to meet your hosts but Maurizio went out of his way to meet my friend at the bus station, take her to town to show her key points.
I arrived a little later and Maurizio was most generous with his time, also recommending restaurants, printing out our tickets for us and even Paola recommending a hairdresser.
Thank you thank you to you both.
