Lecce: Holiday at Salento. A vintage atmosphere in the heart of Lecce

Living at Casa Greco means having privacy and independence in a large house with all the necessary spaces and fittings for living comfortably, as if it was your own house. It is the ideal choice for a holiday with family or a small group of friends. The house is equipped in a fresh style mixed with a contemporary touch, and with lots of love for the past. It even has furnishings and objects from back in the days, it has a sleeping area with three large double bedrooms, of which one has a balcony. There are two brand-new bathrooms with a walk-in shower, as well as a spacious living area consisting of a large lobby with a reading area and a wide living/dining room. The welcoming kitchen/dining is equipped with all the appliances and accessories, the laundry/bathroom features a washing machine. The house is equipped with internet, autonomous heating, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, linen, towels, dinnerware and any other necessary accessory. The house can accommodate up to 6 adults, plus a toddler in a cradle. The apartment is rented as a whole and exclusively to one customer, in order to make it as private as possible. The way in which we rent the house, even for short periods, is via the transitional contract for tourists with an "all inclusive" rate.

Casa Greco offers a typical and autonomous apartment accommodation, providing all the supplies and accessories that you will need for living comfortably and carrying out independently the various house activities like managing and tidying up the accommodation. Casa Greco offers a beautiful, large, and recently renovated roof terrace: there, you can spend your time outdoors enjoying the sunshine during the morning or the evening breeze, eat breakfast, have lunch and dinner.

An excellent well located apartment
This is a very comfortable, well-equipped apartment located very close to one of the gates into the Old Town of Lecce. Shops, restaurants and bars are all within easy walking distance. There is also a Conrad supermarket less than a kilometre from the apartment. The only minor irritant is the presence across the road from the apartment of a mobile fast food van which can be quite noisy in the late evening and early evening. But it didn’t really disturb us much. The Old Town of Lecce is impressive with plenty of interesting sights and buildings but we also used it as a base to visit by rail a number of nearby towns including, Monopoli, Brindisi, Taranto and Gallipoli - all worth a visit. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday in an excellent apartment

Great location BUT!!!!
Communication with the hosts and their flexibility to meet us for check in was most appreciated. This is an old family home. The location is very convenient to visit historic district. Free parking was available within a few blocks. Note that there is street noise, and there is an outdoor casual food truck across from bedroom windows that was open until 5 am and very hard to sleep thru. The apartment is in need of cleaning. The floors were not clean cob webs around and you could feel the dust on the bathroom walls. The older doors had so much paint they couldn’t close properly and required door stops. For the premium charge, there needs to be better guest essentials, ie, bathroom products, one bath had no shelf in shower, and add space for personal things. Only one hairdryer for a 3 bedroom apartment. There were no luggage racks and had to spread out on the old furniture. the kitchen could be enhanced by adding toaster, modern coffee maker, microwave oven, proper cooking equipment that one would expect to find in a premium rental. There was a table for a TV, a cable hookup at the table but NO TV.

Paola and Maurizio's Casa Greco apartment was a wonderful place to stay in Lecco, so convenient to the city's historic center. Their apartment was spacious, super clean and comfortable. Maurizio was such a gracious host and was immediately avaliable to answer any question and to assist with any travel arrangement. We highly recommend this apartment and would book again should we ever have the good fortune to revisit Lecce. Thank you Paola and Maurizio! Jill, Sally and Tom

We absolutely adored our stay at Casa Greco and can't recommend it enough. Just steps away from the historic city centre, it's a perfect location for a family. The rooftop patio is magical in the evening and the very large and immaculately clean apartment is well appointed with everything you need for your stay. Our most sincere thanks to Paola and Maurizio, who were the perfect hosts and couldn't have made it easier or more enjoyable for us. We hope to be back soon!

lovely apartment right outside the old town. In 2 minutes, you're in the heart of old Lecce which is so beautiful. the apartment is very big. we loved the terrace above the apartment and used it every early evening to have a drink or two before heading out to dinner. The washing machine was great too. there is free street parking a couple of blocks away or paid parking right down the street. truly enjoyed our stay.

A very large, clean and well decorated apartment. It suited us very nicely. We would highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Lecce and it's surrounding towns. And it was so very close to Old Town; just a few steps and you are steeped in the history of this fabulous town. It was the greatest of pleasure to explore the avenues and old alleyways of old Lecce. The hostess and her daughter were very responsive and personally showed us around the apartment. We had everything we needed for our stay.

Great location, friendly hosts, lots of space
This is a terrific property. It is located just outside the Lecce old city walls, a quick walk to two of the beautiful city gates that give easy access to the historic center with all the sites and restaurants and cafes within reach. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it has plenty of space and is comfortable. It is an older building but it has been maintained well. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need and we enjoyed breakfast each morning as a family in the apartment. The hosts, Paola and Maurizio are quick to respond and very friendly. They provide all the information you need for parking, arrival, and departure, etc. Be aware that the living space requires climbing a flight of stairs, with no elevator access. There is also a lovely private rooftop terrace up another flight of stairs -- a nice place for lunch or evening drinks depending on the weather. The building is on a busy street but with the windows closed at night, noise was not an issue for us. There are multiple affordable parking options nearby and we did not have any issue finding a space in the closest lot. We enjoyed our stay in Lecce a lot and highly recommend this property as a way to experience Lecce and the surrounding area. It is easy to use Lecce as a base and do day trips to Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca, Ostuni, etc. We were traveling with our older parents and they also enjoyed staying here. We would definitely return to this property and recommend it highly. Grazie Paola e Maurizio!

Lecce Vacation
The apartment was spotless, lots of room to spread out and everything worked. It is a downtown location so noise was an issue due to traffic, a nearby food truck and 4 am garbage pickup. Our biggest challenge was parking. There was none and we were parking in a lot 15 minutes away. If you are coming by car be sure you are clear of the parking options as the owner takes no responsibility.

The very best location for exploring lovely Lecce is this apartment! Its advantage was further enhanced by the immense help offered by our hosts, Maurizio and Paola, in every way. Maurizio even got up very, very early to help us check out and carry our baggage down to the car! We send our appreciation to them for a very successful stay.

Excellent Location, Great Hosts, Comfortable Apartment
The apartment is ideally situated adjacent to the old historical part of the city, and is quite roomy with an entrance way, three bedrooms, dining room, reading room/office, and a full kitchen, along with a large open rooftop to enjoy outside dining or just relaxing. What makes the apartment even better is the warmth and attentiveness of Paolo and Maurizio, the hosts. They were quickly responsive to very communication from the initial booking to the end of our stay. Lecce is a wonderful city, and if/when we return, this is the first apartment I would check out.

Lecce - A Must Visit Holiday Destination
From the first moment of our arrival in Lecce we felt at home. The warmest of welcomes from Paola & Maurizio which includes a lovely welcome basket of Leccese goodies. The apartment was well positioned just outside of the walled “old town” - an easy 5-10 minute walk and you are within the walls of this beautiful, completely intact baroque city. Inside the apartment, it was all we could have asked for and more - light, bright, airy with big rooms, superb kitchen, well appointed bathrooms, laundry etc and to top it off there is a fabulous roof top which guests have to themselves. From here you can almost reach out and touch rooftops of Lecce. And while the Old Town is fantastic, do yourself a huge favour and be sure to check out Lecce proper - find Piazza Mazzini and you will find a shopping paradise along with caffes, restaurants and all other manner of interesting places. We (4 adult women) loved it and highly recommend “Casa Greco” for a family or for a group of friends.

Spacious and comfy apartment
Maurizio and Paola could not have been more gracious hosts. They took care of many details for us and were always prompt to answer when we had questions. Their apartment is spacious and perfect for a family or, as we were, three single women. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom! The location is ideal. It is right near one of the entrances to the historic center of Lecce.We took three separate day trips outside of Leche to very interesting areas, which makes Lecce- a good jumping off point to explore Puglia.

This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location, just outside the historical town of Lecce. Maurizio and Paula were wonderful hosts and supplied helpful information for the area, as well as arranging some transfers for our group. The apartment was cool and comfortable in the heat of summer. We enjoyed lovely afternoon breezes through the house and the stunning outdoor terrace. The rooms are large and there was plenty of space for our party of 5 adults. It felt very private and secure - a real home away from home!

Great location with terrific patio
This is a fantastic place with one significant downfall. In the lot right outside the bedroom windows is a very popular food truck that is open all night long. The appartment windows did not keep out the noise. If your a night owl or use to a loud nights sleep the appartment is great. The roof top patio is outstanding the beds were comfortable and owners were very nice.

A wonderful experience in this lovely apartment right outside the gates of Lecce.
My husband and I enjoyed feeling like ‘ex-patriates’ while staying in this beautiful, large apartment. We were able to tour all day and then stroll into town each evening for dinner. There are many interesting and beautiful towns within an easy drive, and we found Lecce to be a lively, ‘real’, Italian town with historical sites, lovely shops and a variety of restaurants, wine bars, and dining options. Hope you are there are a Sunday evening when locals and tourists alike enjoy a light dinner and strolling the streets. The owners are gracious and helpful and the apartment is beautifully maintained with two modern bathrooms and a roomy kitchen. We never actually cooked, but it Is nice that there is a dishwasher. I hand washed some laundry, but there is a small washing machine (no dryer) in a nice laundry room. For me, the only thing more I would have asked for is a coffee maker. There are nearby cafes for yummy cappuccinos, but I missed my morning coffee in the apartment (didn’t know how to use that Italian press.). We visited in early October and had great weather so we were able to use the rooftop garden a couple of times. We had a car which I strongly recommend for touring and we parked it in a nearby parking area for a weekly fee. The apartment is very conveniently located for a five-minute walk into town and to grocery stores. The living space is one floor up from the street, but since it is located on the corner of a fairly busy street there is occasional street noise; however, we never found it to be a problem. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Clean, spacious and convenient location
I was highly impressed with the property in terms of cleanliness, amenities, layout and convenience to exploring the historic district (it is a 5 minute walk to the arched entryway). Marizio and Paola were the ultimate hosts, communicating to me in a timely manner prior to our stay and greeting me upon my arrival. They were even helpful in securing transportation to/from the airport (I recommend the shuttle service they suggested). The only "negative" is that the street noise was excessive well into the early morning hours. This could not be totally abated by closing the windows, and it was quite hot with the windows closed. This property is ideal for couples or families. The 3 bedrooms are spacious and although one of the 3 bathrooms is off the kitchen, we each had our own private bathroom. I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Mauricio and Paola for a most amazing 4 week stay in your home . We very much appreciate your fabulous communication before and during our stay. The apartment is HUGE - very comfortable for our 4 people and would be great for 6 too. The rooftop patio was used many nights with a beautiful view of the Duomo. The furnishings, linens, kitchen amenities were great. Thanks for your gifts of cheeses, wine, fruit and tarali. Thanks for your tips on restaurants, bike rental (ability to store them inside the lobby) , and most importantly beach advice depending on the wind! We hope to return again soon and highly recommend your home to anyone coming to Lecce.

Beautiful Vintage Apartment Just Outside the Walled City
Casa Greco is a lovely vintage apartment, located just outside the historical city wall. It is an easy walk to the Duomo and all the historical sites. We were a party of 5 (2 couples and 1 single) and we were quite comfortable here. The apartment is very clean and there is a fully equipped kitchen, as well as an outside area where you can use the charcoal grill. Maurizio and Paola were available to take care of all our needs. The only downside is the traffic noise and the food truck located opposite the bedrooms, which stays open until 4:00 AM. We used earplugs and joined the food truck crowd one night for a quick meal and drinks. Overall, a great stay.
