The house, a typical construction with star vaults, is located in a small courtyard near Piazza Sant'Oronzo, just 50 meters away from the main street and the beautiful church of Sant'Irene, historically considered as the exact center of the city ancient. The apartment can accommodate up to 5 people, and is composed of a comfortable fully equipped kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower, a mezzanine with a single bed (a comfortable Japanese futon), a small laundry room with washing machine , a small internal cloister.

This was a lovely apartment centrally located with hosts that were very attentive. Two things to note, there is not a living room but a large kitchen for common space. Also, it can be a little chilly in the apartment when it is raining.
We can’t stay enough about how great this apartment is. The owner was great. The location perfect. Easy walk from the train station and to all the sites. Apartment has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable.
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.
Maria and Diario are a great host,
Diario was waiting us for check in and show us the apartment even we had a delay flight, Great and clean apartment, has everything you need,,the Location is Amazing, you're in the heart of center,
We are high recommend it..
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.
Very nice, comfortable apartment with convenient amenities. Location is unbeatable in the heart of town yet quiet street. Maria is a great host with very good communication, accommodating and hospitable. All in all an outstanding experience, highly recommended.
My friend and I picked Lecce as a base for its history and architectural beauty.
The center is compact and the train station is within walking distance.
The apartment was spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was only 2 of us but it could accommodate 5. We enjoyed its location.
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 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.
Where to begin. Firstly, the location was perfect. It was a 2 minute walk from Piazza Samt’oranzo (one of the main squares in the old town) and bars, restaurants, shops galore. However, it was perfectly situated enough away from the hustle and bustle not to hear any of the goings on.
The property itself was amazing. Beautiful baroque architecture. High ceilings,, original stone walls and all kept in pristine condition.
The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The mezzanine got very warm so it was essential to have the fan on when sleeping up there but was very cozy.
The one bedroom that had air conditioning was perfect.
The kitchen had everything you needed and the the two bathrooms proved very useful for my family of 5.
The host was fantastic, always available (not that we needed to contact her that often) and extremely helpful. She communicated very clearly with us addressing all our questions well. She really went the extra mile organising a cot for our baby, having some water, food and snacks there for our arrival and even helping us out with travel arrangements from Brindisi airport.
We stayed here for a total of 4 weeks and it was absolutely perfect t. Lecce itself is just such a relaxed and beautiful place.
Will 100% be back!
Great little apartment close to center of old town, host Maria Grazie was very helpful. Only slight negative was it lacked a sitting area, it was bedrooms or kitchen , but fantastic overall
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!
Property was exactly as advertised. Maria was an incredibly gracious host picked us up from the train station (twice). The location is the absolute best in Lecce and we went out most nights. Only thing to note is that only one bedroom has AC. Would definitely stay again!
Pros: Right in the heart of the historic city center You can walk to cafes, stores, restaurants in minutes Stays cool inside Hosts were kind and responsive Cons: The photos were beautifully staged, wasn't quite as cozy as expected WiFi is spotty No real communal space other than the kitchen table Overall very functional
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.

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
The apartment was immaculate with every thing you will need to relax and e joy beautiful Lecce and the surrounding cities. We did buy and leave a larger espresso maker 🤗. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating! We will return!
