Lovely Flat CHEAP in the Historical Center of Lecce

Description:

Lecce is rightly called "The Florence of the South" for its architectural beauty and vibrant culture, and our second home is perfectly located for sight-seeing, shopping, exploring, writing, or simply basking on the terrace under the blue skies of Salento.

This is a second-floor, independent, luminous and artistically furnished flat with vaulted ceilings and original artisanal terracotta floors, one full bedroom, one sleep-in loft, 1 1/2 baths, large eat-in kitchen, large balcony overlooking a quiet historic piazza, and spacious private garden terrace with view of the Duomo. We have high-speed internet, satellite TV, and telephone through Fastweb.

The neighborhood is quiet and clean but also convenient: Lecce's best restaurants, train station, fitness club, and historic sights (the Roman amphitheatre, the castello, and more than a hundred beautiful churches) are within a few minutes' walk. During the warmer months a convenient bus system provides access to some of the most breathtaking beaches in Europe, on both the Adriatic and Mediterranean coasts.

Lecce is home to the largest university in the south and thus civic life is exciting. There is always something to do in the evenings, and the people-watching is splendid. (Photos show furniture of former owners; in May we will move in, so some furniture will change, but similar style, better TV, etc.)

SPECIAL PRICE FOR OFF-SEASON (Sept-April): 800 euro/month
