Elisabetta, our host, made us welcome from the moment we contacted her. She was quick to reply to questions throughout our planning and during our stay. Lecce is an old city full of beautiful Baroque buildings, with narrow streets, perfect for wandering on foot. The B&B is in this lovely, old center but visitors should know that car traffic and parking is limited. Fortunately, Elisabetta has thought of that and offers her guests the use of a safe and secure garage near the B&B. We were delighted. On arrival, Elisabetta met us at the garage and guided us to the B&B, which was a short walk over cobbled streets. We had the Loft Suite and could not have been happier. The room was well designed with many thoughtful touches, including crisp, ironed sheets with lovely embroidery along the edges, a full kitchen and well supplied refrigerator (containing homemade Limoncello!), homemade traditional snacks, a welcome bottle of wine, and supplies for making tea and coffee. The bathroom had a great shower, with good water pressure. We had access to four terraces for our sole use, which allowed us to enjoy sun, shade, or panoramic views of the rooftops of this ancient city. Flowers were dotted all around the terraces adding charm and natural beauty. Each morning breakfast was delivered to our door and contained a mixture of sweet and savory dishes made by Elisabetta that day, from products from the family farm. Elisabetta was a gracious and thoughtful host, always offering suggestions for places to eat or sites to visit. She even helped us find a store so that we could replace a piece of luggage that had been seriously damaged during our flight to Italy. Elisabetta is a wonderful ambassador for Lecce and exemplifies hospitality. We will definitely return!
