Our recent stay at this villa in Lecce was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we’d found something truly special. Our hosts, Alexandria and Alexandro could not have been more accommodating and gracious. The property itself is stunning—an elegant fusion of historic charm and modern comfort. High vaulted ceilings in the traditional Lecce stone, beautifully restored architectural details, and thoughtfully curated décor give every room character and warmth. It feels like staying in a boutique hotel, but with the privacy and space of a home.What truly elevated the stay, though, were the hosts. Communication before and during our visit was prompt, warm, and genuinely caring. Check-in was smooth and flexible, with clear instructions and helpful local tips. Plus they offered a pasta making cooking class with dinner afterward with wine, appetizers, great conversation and FUN!Cleanliness was impeccable. The villa was spotless on arrival, and it’s obvious that a lot of pride goes into maintaining the property. Everything felt fresh, well looked after, and exactly as (if not better than) the photos.In short, this villa was the highlight of our trip to Puglia. It combines luxury and authenticity in a way that’s rare to find: you get the romance of staying in a historic Italian home, with all the modern comforts you could want. We left already dreaming of when we could come back.
