Location
The city of Lecce is the largest town on the stunning Salento peninsula. It was founded over 2000 years ago and has a rich history, with prehistoric sites, Roman ruins and glorious Baroque architecture. The city is home to over 20 magnificent Baroque churches, including the huge cathedral in Piazza del Duomo (15 minutes walk). Wandering the winding streets and stumbling on the majestic squares is a wonderful way to pass the time.

The city is also famous for its food, which is some of the best in Italy. There are many excellent restaurants, and the city’s food markets offer visitors an authentic experience of city life. In addition to the food markets, Lecce hosts a large flea market in Viale XX Settembre (5-minute walk) on the 2nd Sunday of every month. Here you can find antiques, vintage pieces and much more.

The Adriatic coast is just a 20-minute drive from the apartment, and the Ionian coast is about 30 minutes. Both offer lovely, unspoiled beaches and make great day trips.

The nearest airport is at Brindisi, 50 minutes away.
