With a bright and open feeling interior, as well as a certain shabby-chic charm, this stylish loft apartment enjoys a fabulous location close to the very heart of lovely Lecce. Situated within an apartment building that frames a historic courtyard, arriving at the location of this home feels as though you are stepping back in time. Take your time strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Lecce, taking in the sights, sounds, and flavours around you as you meander to the nearby Piazza Duomo to soak up the exuberant atmosphere. Having awoken refreshed in the rest-promoting bedroom, ready yourself for a day of exploration by preparing a traditional Italian espresso to sip in the cosy breakfast area (being sure not to miss out on some lovely bread and pastries from one of the authentic nearby bakeries). Then it's off out to see what the town has in store. Having found your favourite side of the city, return to the comfort of this top-floor apartment for a glass of red to round off the evening.
