Great, secure location within easy walking distance to the old centre. Convenient & easy street parking right outside the apartment building. Delightful & attentive staff. Great value for money in Lecce. Terrific & generous breakfast selection. We are anti-plastic so an issue for us was all the plastic used on the breakfast tray. This was immediately remedied with porcelain cups & plates & metal cutlery.
