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.

Reviews

Elisabetta as always will greet you with a smile and she will welcome you to her little slice of heaven. It may be of modest proportions but it's perfectly formed and the seating area in the shade is a delightful vantage point to hide away from the crowds and the hot sun of summer. A must if you need a pied a terre in the heart of Lecce.

Everything that has been said about this place is true it is absolutely perfect. We only booked 2 nights as we are on a grand tour of Southern Italy and Sicily. What a start to our holiday. Everything is spotless and beautiful. Generous and helpful hosts. They left a well stocked welcome basket and cool drinks in the fridge. The breakfasts were sublime. The terraces were wonderful to relax and have breakfast on. I actually cannot do justice to such a wonderful place and wonderful hosts. We will return for a longer stay.

An exceptionally beautiful and elegant apartment with a stunning flowered patio. Elisabetta, the owner, is warm and welcoming. Superb breakfasts of hand-made baked goods, savoury omelettes, or whatever you prefer are discreetly left outside your room in a beautifully made-up basket. A wonderful place to stay in a wonderful city.

There cannot be a more wonderful spot in all of Lecce! My husband and I stayed at Roof Barocco for three nights and it was so hard to leave this incredible place. On the way into the town, we got a bit stuck due to road closures for the St Oronzo festivities, but our hosts came out to find us and guide us ‘home’! The stunning self-contained accommodation is within a few minutes walking distance of all the wonderful sights of Lecce. It was an absolute joy to sit on the tranquil shady terraces, drawing out the contents of our delicious breakfast basket, resting and reading.

A real treat. The owners are truly delightful. The accommodation is perfect and the breakfasts are unsurpassable! Elisabetta, thank you very much for a very memorable visit. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

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.
