This is a lovely apartment in an extremely quiet cul-de-sac, providing two of us with very spacious bedrooms and a living area with beautiful vaulted ceilings.
One thing worth pointing out (and my reason for 4 stars, not 5) is that the description of the bathrooms is misleading, suggesting that there's a separate shower room from the main bathroom. Not the case: there's one bathroom upstairs with a shower over a very narrow bath (NB if you have hip problems it's hard to get out of! A grab handle on the wall might be a helpful addition...). Then there's a downstairs loo with basin, washing machine and bidet - but no bath or shower. If you were a 6-some this might not be adequate - but as we were only two, it suited us fine.
Giulio was a very friendly host and happy to arrange a taxi to and from Brindisi Airport at a very reasonable price: a real bonus. The kitchen had everything we needed, including some basics on our arrival in the cupboard and fridge. But anyway, supermarkets are a few minutes' walk away, and there are lots and lots of good places to eat within reasonable walking distance (we didn't hire a car).
It's a 10-minute walk to the station, or to the Centro Storico which is the best part of Lecce for things to see and places to eat. Lecce is a lovely town; very laid back - but also very empty! We spent a week there in November (with a couple of days on excursions to Alborobello and to Gallipoli) and it was only on the Sunday night that the main square and thoroughfare became thronged with people and their dogs and baby buggies. Otherwise, we had streets, museums and art exhibitions pretty much to ourselves for a lot of the time! In any case, everything shuts between about 12.00 and 4.00, including churches. But if you're happy just to walk around the winding streets, admiring the exterior architecture and stopping for a leisurely coffee or gelato, you'll have a lovely time - we certainly did!
