Not as advertised!

The property is not as advertised! We were booked for a 3 night stay and advised property manager that we were going to check out after 2 hours. The property is advertised as 2 bedroom, but its actually a 1 bedroom with a sitting area. Its not well stocked for a stay i.e. one wine glass. The kitchen is a fridge and a hot plate. The toilet handle is broken and U have to fiddle with it to make it flush. We asked for 1 night back and we were told no, only to see it advertised again the next day (double dip?). Prop manager slow to respond. Other reviews for this property should have been a flag, but some were very accurate. Not a good experience!

Not quite what we expected

As advertized, the property is in the Historic center, but just barely. This is OK, as the town center is not too big. In general the property has lots of potential but falls short in quite a few areas. Our arrival, at the exact time we announced, created some confusion, as we were asked to pay for our stay (which we had done prior to arrival) and then led to two separate apartments, when instead we had been confirmed an apartment (Messapia) with two rooms. Apologies followed and we were guided to the apartment, via 25 steep stairs (which might not be advertized?). For the initial error we were promised 2 breakfast coupons which were never handed to us. Also later phone calls for additional supplies of toilet paper were not answered. The positives were constant WiFi service, working air con and working shower, although we had no hot water on our last morning. The beds (not wrought iron head boards) had one thin sheet only, no emergency blankets for cool nights. The kitchen equipment is rather sparse (no scissors, no bread knife, no water kettle etc), no basic provisions (eg sugar), and one very old dirty sponge for the dishes. There were no brochures or leaflets for sightseeing which would have made the property a little more welcoming. The terrace is not on the same floor as the apartment - instead one has to climb 20 more steps to the roof top. During our stay, it looked neglected and unkempt. No colorful plants (maybe too much for hot summer) but old plants were still in the plant holders ... not inviting at all). The toilet was very temperamental and had to be coaxed into working almost every time. There should be a user guide how to work it (water is not filling up regularly after flushing). A table in one of the bedroom was OK for two people having breakfast, obviously the person in that room had to get up before that. As mentioned, the apartment has potential but the website for this apartment needs to be adjusted, and it would be good if the above-mentioned items would also be reviewed and adjusted.

Cute but not amazing.

We had no wifi as advertised, it did not work, we were told to be patient, it still never worked. Tv stopped working, and our host didnt answer the phone and didnt return our calls towards the end, and the bathroom had an awful smell, we checked out a day early. Very pretty place, but needs to be more on the ball re customer service.

nice location

This property has a lot going for it--good location in the centro, nice owner, very spacious, air conditioning. There are a few issues. If you have a car there are NO parking garages--none, street parking with meters only. Also the water went off twice while we were there. Ants in the bathroom.

Great little flat right in the old town

This flat was perfect for me and my friend to stay for the week, it had everything we needed and was right in the old town among restaurants, bars and lots of gelato! It was close enough (8 minute walk) to nearby free parking so we could park our car each night when we got back from exploring all the Puglian beaches. Giorgia was incrediblly accommodating to our late check in time and was very helpful for the duration of our stay. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely property

We were very at home in this property, it was very clean, well maintained, beds were comfortable and overall we felt privileged to be staying in such a historic building and area of Lecce. Anna was always available to help us and in fact called a taxi for us on our last day and saw us off when we left. A first for us! The kitchen was bijoux but adequate but we never ceased to produce some lovely meals from it. Our small kitchen at home now feels too big! We were surrounded by lovely restaurants and wine bars We adored Lecce, the flat, sunning ourselves on the roof terrace and just absorbing the atmosphere. We can't wait to go back.

Really lovely apartment

Beautifully styled, old furniture - great vaulted ceilings. Anna was really kind and very quickly sorted a minor problem with the curtains and AC. She also recommended a fab restaurant nearby and made a reservation for us! Highly recommended. Martin and family

3 Wochen in Lecce

Die Lage der Wohnung, ruhige Seitengasse, ist perfekt. Man kann alle Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig schnell erreichen. In unmittelbarer Nähe sind Restaurants, Cafés und Bars. Küche und Bad sind sehr klein, aber für 2 Personen okay. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin (Antonella Arcuti?/Reception Sophia?) ist verbesserungswürdig, da eigentlich nie einer da ist. Kontakt wurde über die Putzleute gehalten (Handtuch- und Bettwäschewechsel, Reinigung).

Sehr zu empfehlen !

Sehr schön und ansprechend, sauber, großzügig und komfortabel. Die Küchenausstattung war allerdings sehr schlicht- aber wer kocht in Italien schon selber....😜 Die jungen Damen in der Reception waren sehr hilfsbereit und die Dachterasse unschlagbar. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
