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.

Our stay in Lecce with Elix in roofbaroccosuite was fabulous, peaceful rooftop setting overlooking the old city - swallows swooping, people in the street far below, no cars, and bells everywhere - very special

As the other reviews on this site, this is a hidden gem of place, 5 minutes walk and you are in the narrow streets and alleys of Lecce, and yet back in the apartment, you feel as if you are in another place. Elisabetta is a charming host and spends time with you pointing out the local landmarks, and what way to be greeted, do you prefer white or red wine? what a question, what a way to start a holiday. Thinking of going....Don't think, book, you will not be dissapointed...

Earlier reviews on this site say it all. Elizabetta is a very special and utterly professional host of an apartment in the heart of historic Lecce. Breakfasts are incomparable and a daily surprise and delight. She helped us out in all sorts of ways for which we shall always be grateful. We are grateful too for Sawdays including this accommodation in its listings.

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.
We stayed for 3 nights in October on our first visit to Lecce. Elisabetta's apartment was spacious and beautifully furnished, opening to a wonderful rooftop patio with a view. Yes, there are many steps, but so worth it to be in such a good location only a block or two from the center. As many others have said, Elisabetta's hospitality is legendary! We were expecting a breakfast basket, not a big hamper of delicious food and drinks each morning. We had a car, and they arranged for secure parking very near by. Highly recommend!
