The Experience
Lecce ‘The Florence of the South’ is an architectural treasure. White stone on Baroque façades against intense blue skies… dazzling. Keep the faith as you follow the directions through narrow alleys to a tiny square in which Italian drivers perform ingenious manoeuvring feats.
You’ll spot the house immediately – pots of wildly colourful flowers spilling from every sill, succulents trailing from balconies like Rapunzel’s hair. Inside, peaceful rooms, each with their own heavenly terrace, are traditionally furnished with a few modern touches, bathrooms are spotless, little kitchens have welcome hampers with local goodies.
Breakfast – a treat – is left at the door in a basket: fresh juice, warm croissants, a little glass pot of yogurt, fruits and jams from Elisabetta’s country house. Wander through the Giuseppe Garibaldi city park; drive to the turquoise shores of the Adriatic – Torre dell’Orso and Brindisi (both 30 km) are lovely.

Roof Barocco suites far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the suite for two people, which was tastefully furnished with two flower filled private patio areas looking over the old town. Breakfast was a delightful feast, brought to the room and beautifully presented. Elizabetta was so helpful. She organised transport from the airport which we were particularly grateful for as our plane was late arriving, and it was reassuring to know we would be picked up. A map and a detailed guide to Lecce was thoughtfully provided in English. It’s impossible to think of anything that could be improve

My mum (85) and I had the pleasure of staying at the Roof Barocco Suite for a week. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a Sawday recommendation but this exceeded our expectations. Elisabetta booked us a taxi from the airport which meant a very smooth start. The building, which is a 2-min walk from the town, is stunning. Beautiful roof terrace, bedrooms were gorgeous: antique furniture, linen bedsheets, air-con. Great little kitchen, an all-you-need hamper and the most incredible breakfasts delivered each morning. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this place. E is the perfect host.

Having spent 5 days staying at the incredible Roof Barocco Suite, we would never stay anywhere else. It's perfect! The photos don't quite do it justice. The rooms are light-filled, perfectly clean and give on to a stunning terrace that surrounded the room. Breakfast on the terrace is a highlight, along with the light across the rooftops, which changes as the day progresses. Highly recommended if you enjoy peaceful, comfortable accommodation in the heart of a beautiful old city.

Location
The neighbourhood
Outside your window find your flower-filled oases on which to laze and gaze at the wonders of Lecce, or find a shady corner with a good book. Ask Elisabetta about wine and olive oil tasting nearby, and wonderful beaches are a short journey too: Santa Maria di Leuca is a 30-minute drive; Gallipoli and Otranto are only an hour away on the train.
Local points of interest from Elisabetta Achiardi
- In the heart of the historical centre of Lecce, suspended between spiers and steeples of the Baroque era, you can enjoy the colors, the atmosphere and the lights of unforgettable sunsets. Roof terraces full of flowers - truly relaxing.
- Maps and guides at your disposal to accompany you in the discovery of the wonderful old town of Lecce. You can forget your car.... Everything is at your doorstep.
- A fully equipped kitchen will allow you to enjoy your stay. Dining on the terrace or enjoying a fine wine under the starry sky will remain among your best memories of this noble and ancient city full of charm
- A welcome basket full of local produce, coming from the family farm, will be like a welcome hug.
- In the morning another basket full of goodies will be left outside your door. If it's not the bells of the churches around you to wake you up, it will certainly be the scent of freshly baked croissants or a thousand other delicacies.
- A little slice of heaven suspended between the flowers. This is the Roof Barocco Suite.

Introducing
Elisabetta Achiardi
Originally from Tuscany, Elisabetta moved to Lecce 20 years ago to follow her husband’s family roots. She’s an excellent host, welcomes her guests with big smiles like an old friend, and will take you past her floor to the apartments when you arrive. When she’s not hosting, she’s busy running her clothing atelier a short walk away.
A hugely relaxing mother and daughter mini-break in beautiful surroundings. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The apartment was spacious with a wonderful terrace, and within easy walking distance of the station and old town. Waking up each morning to the smell of baking and then uncovering the delicious and generous breakfast hamper left outside our door each morning was a complete treat! We were superbly looked after, and yet everything felt so laid back and relaxed. Thank you to Elisabetta for such a special time and we hope to return again soon.
