Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll be right in the middle of the action in this well-positioned apartment in Lecce, with restaurants, bars and cultural hotspots right on your doorstep. Once you step inside, it’s hard not to admire the sleek tiling, high vaulted ceilings and modern furniture in the main living area – where one guest will sleep in the single bed under the stairs. Though the kitchen is on the smaller side with no oven, with all the eateries around, it’s hardly a downside. Step outside and you’ll be treated to some of Puglia’s best food, as well as the gorgeous Giuseppe Garibaldi Public Gardens and Santa Croce Basilica, both just minutes away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the single bed in the living area under the stairs. The bedroom above is on a mezzanine floor, so there won't be much privacy.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
There are no in-unit laundry facilities here.

Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you upon request.
Parking in Lecce can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
