Just on the edge of Lecce’s city centre, close enough to the action but away from the hustle and bustle of the town’s core, this apartment is a gem in this charming Puglian town.

Start your day with your morning coffee, and then set out to explore the city with all its Baroque hotspots – it’s just a short walk to the Piazza del Duomo and Lecce’s ancient Roman amphitheatre, and restaurants and bars are right on your doorstep too.
