Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in the town of Squinzano, just a twenty-minute drive from Lecce, this home is handy for exploring the local area. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance, and you can reach the coast in less than half an hour – a winning combo when it comes to location. As for the apartment, it features fuss-free decor and modern furnishings, although there are still hints of the building’s heritage (like the vaulted ceilings). There’s a kitchen too, but with excellent eateries on your doorstep, you can easily take a break from cooking in favour of fabulous local cuisine.
