Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This grand apartment boasts a rarity in central Lecce – the private garden is home to a plunge pool, perfect for cooling off in the southern Italian heat. As evening arrives, the shaded outdoor dining table is a great spot for a spritz or two. Inside, the minimal furnishings let historic frescoed ceilings take centre stage and keep things feeling open and breezy, if a little spartan. The kitchen area is quirky – spread between an old-style hearth in a vast dining area and a modern oven and stove tucked away with the other appliances in a pantry-like space. If cooking isn’t your bag, there are myriad trattoria, wine bars and coffee shops in the ancient streets of Lecce around you.
