Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’d hardly believe you were in the centre of Lecce, sitting on the private rooftop terrace of this historic home. Whether you’re savouring a lazy breakfast beneath the shade of the pergola or watching the sun set over the old Baroque columns and rooftops, it’s a blissfully private place to be. The perfect retreat for two, inside the high vaulted ceilings and archways brings all the charm. It’s worth noting, the kitchen is compact and only suitable for rustling up breakfast and lighter meals. But let’s face it – with countless authentic restaurants for a true taste of Puglia just a stroll away, we suspect you’ll be eating out anyway.

About Lecce
Lecce’s famous baroque architecture is what sets it apart from its fellow sun-soaked Puglian cities. Think basilicas adorned with rose windows and intricately carved Madonnas, floral columns, and gargoyles galore – all in the pale stone of Puglia.
