Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment puts you in the historic heart of Lecce, where narrow streets are home to pasta shops and family-run trattoria that have been in business for generations. You might spot nonnas making fresh orecchiette at rickety tables between the ancient churches. It’s a town brimming with history, from the ancient Roman amphitheatre to the medieval castle of Carlo V. After a day pounding the time-worn streets of the historic centre, retreat to this apartment hidden behind an ancient door and quiet courtyard. Stepping past the old stone walls typical of Lecce’s old town, you’ll find a surprisingly modern interior – a kitchen with everything you need to replicate Puglia’s culinary delights and a dining table big enough for four. But plenty of traditional touches give the home’s history away, such as the wooden shutters, carved dressers and huge, dark wood wardrobe in the bedroom.

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. The Basilica di Santa Croce is probably the finest example of Lecce’s architecture gone wild, and sipping a double espresso in the Piazza del Duomo is one of the best ways to...
