Step through the door into this ground-floor apartment, seamlessly blending modern elements with timeless Salento architecture. Cosy and welcoming, you'll settle in in no time before heading out to explore the city on your doorstep. The kitchen here is small and best suited for light bites rather than daily feasts, but that won't be a problem with the assemblage of ambrosial restaurants within easy walking distance. Choose whether to check yourself in on arrival or to be greeted by your host for a friendly first introduction to your new home away from home. In the evening, pull out the sofa and transform the main living space into a cosy bedroom to recharge for another busy day.

Lecce is a city steeped in history, vibrant culture and plenty to do and see. You'll find yourself in a quiet neighbourhood of the city, a jovial stroll from fantastic local restaurants and clubs, perfect if you're looking for delectable meals and thumping nightlife. Discover history at the nearby archaeological museum and ancient theatre ruins, and live like a local during your stay.
