Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It's not often you get a choice of outdoor seating areas from a smaller central apartment, but this well-located home in the baroque city of Lecce is full of pleasant surprises.

You'll be within walking distance of some of the city's most popular attractions, with the breath-taking Roman ruins reachable in fifteen minutes.

About Lecce
