Description Antique Light: Lecce

You’d hardly believe you were in the centre of Lecce, sitting on the private rooftop terrace of this historic home. Whether you’re savouring a lazy breakfast beneath the shade of the pergola or watching the sun set over the old Baroque columns and rooftops, it’s a blissfully private place to be. The perfect retreat for two, inside the high vaulted ceilings and archways brings all the charm. It’s worth noting, the kitchen is compact and only suitable for rustling up breakfast and lighter meals. But let’s face it – with countless authentic restaurants for a true taste of Puglia just a stroll away, we suspect you’ll be eating out anyway.

Home truths:
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*The staircase to access the private rooftop terrace may not be suitable for guests with restricted mobility.
*Views from the windows are limited inside the apartment, but the rooftop terrace makes up for that.
