Tucked away in the quiet San Lazzaro district, this cosy apartment offers some peace and quiet within a few steps of the historic centre of Lecce. Boasting close proximity to some of the city's most famous monuments, begin the day by whipping up breakfast and a cup of coffee in the kitchen before heading off to explore.

Walk for a few minutes and you'll reach Piazza Sant'Oronzo, which is at the heart of the Old Town. Admire the mix of architectural styles from different eras, before browsing the shops at the edge of the square. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a lunch spot, with many eateries serving up authentic Italian cuisine just steps away.

When you get home after a busy day, it's time to enjoy the private garden. Pour yourself an Aperol Spritz or a glass of fizz and take a seat on the terrace to enjoy the evening breeze.
