"Le Armelline", holiday home in the heart of the historic center of Lecce.

The house, a typical construction with star vaults, is located in a small courtyard near Piazza Sant'Oronzo, just 50 meters away from the main street and the beautiful church of Sant'Irene, historically considered as the exact center of the city ancient.
The apartment can accommodate up to 5 people, and is composed of a comfortable fully equipped kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower, a mezzanine with a single bed (a comfortable Japanese futon), a small laundry room with washing machine , a small internal cloister. It is equipped with heating, bed linen and towels, pots, crockery, cutlery and any other useful accessory. In summer the rooms are naturally cool and do not need air conditioning. However, there is 1 air conditioner in the smaller double bedroom.
Its position allows you to spend a pleasant and relaxing stay in the fascinating beauty of the historic center of Lecce, with its evocative baroque architecture, alleys, courtyards, artisan shops, typical restaurants and any other cultural, artistic or recreation of the ancient village.
Those arriving by car must park outside the historic center about 600/700 m from the apartment.
There are 2 paid car parks:
- private secure parking
- unattended municipal parking at 60 cents. per hour (free from 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m., from 9.00 p.m. to 9.00 a.m., and all holidays)
It is a perfect accommodation for those who come to Lecce for work or want to visit and discover Salento; in a short time it is possible to reach the splendid places of the Adriatic coast (Torre dell'Orso, Otranto, Santa Cesarea, Castro) or of the Ionian coast (Porto Cesareo, Porto Selvaggio, Santa Caterina, Gallipoli, Marina di Ugento, up to Santa Maria di Leuca where it is possible to appreciate the meeting of the two seas, Adriatic and Ionian).
It is also possible to choose the itineraries to reach the suggestive municipalities of the hinterland (Acaya, Galatina, Maglie, the municipalities of Grecìa Salentina, Cutrofiano, Capo di Leuca)
“Le Armelline” is managed directly by the owners, who will be happy to offer you any type of assistance and information to make your stay as pleasant, comfortable and interesting as possible.

Beautiful house in Lecce
We had a wonderful stay in Lecce. The city is beautiful and the location is very central. The house was very clean and nicer than the pictures. The rooms are beautiful and everything worked well. Maria was very helpful and communicative- thank you for making feel at home! As a note when staying in the old city: parking will be a little distant, so expect to walk about 10 minutes.

Amazing stay in Lecce
We had a wonderful time in Lecce and Maria was a very helpful and gracious host. The apartment was in a great location, with shops, restaurants and historical sites in short walking distance. The apartment itself was also lovely, with all the amenities we needed for our 3 night stay. We would highly recommend!

Great stay in Lecce
We had a great stay in Lecce. The Apartment is centrally located, a 2 minute walk from the old town and main piazza. It was well appointed, the hosts friendly and attentive, and had everything we needed. When we couldn't find a bread-board, Maria purchased one that same day and dropped it off. Nothing was too much trouble. Lecce was lovely and the apartment was very easy to live in for a short stay. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Family stay in Lecce
Excellent communication, well equipped, great location. Would recommend. Only thing was lack of comfy seating area. When relaxing between exorong Lecce and then going out in the evening had to sit on bed. Outside area small and in shade which is good in Sumner but we visited in April. the area with a small bed on floor could be changes to having a small sofa to sit on.

Spacious, clean and a great location. Full sized kitchen was great as well as the private patio. The location could not be better, and for the size of this place it is a great value. The hosts picked me up at the airport and made everything as easy as possible. My only complaint is that the neighbors above are a bit loud, talk loudly until late hours. You can only hear this with the back door open (Master Bed). If you close it, then no noise. Great place, you won't be sorry.

Family vacation in Italy
This was my first time using VRBO internationally and I was extremely happy with the service and the owner. I really appreciated that they allowed a 100% refund as close to my stay and that they didn’t require final payment so far in advance. Many American rentals are not so generous or trusting. Fortunately, our travel went as expected and there was no need to cancel, etc. The apartment was lovely and Maria Grazia was very helpful with the check-in process. She met us upon arrival and provided nice instructions in advance with parking options during our stay which was much appreciated. The location was central to the historic district, and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks through town and evening dinners out in lovely Lecce. Thank you!

Very nice house
Everything in the house was perfectly clean and aligned with the pictures. Very good site for the access to the city. The host were wery king and helpful (thank you). The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable. About the things to improve; 1. The parking is at least 700 meters and the access with luggage is complicated. 2. The exterior space is not very confortable (furnitures) and limited. 3. One thing that is missing is an interior space to sit and relax (sofas, etc.). The experience was positive. Thant you to our host.

Menorable
Where to begin. Firstly, the location was perfect. It was a 2 minute walk from Piazza Samt’oranzo (one of the main squares in the old town) and bars, restaurants, shops galore. However, it was perfectly situated enough away from the hustle and bustle not to hear any of the goings on. The property itself was amazing. Beautiful baroque architecture. High ceilings,, original stone walls and all kept in pristine condition. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The mezzanine got very warm so it was essential to have the fan on when sleeping up there but was very cozy. The one bedroom that had air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything you needed and the the two bathrooms proved very useful for my family of 5. The host was fantastic, always available (not that we needed to contact her that often) and extremely helpful. She communicated very clearly with us addressing all our questions well. She really went the extra mile organising a cot for our baby, having some water, food and snacks there for our arrival and even helping us out with travel arrangements from Brindisi airport. We stayed here for a total of 4 weeks and it was absolutely perfect t. Lecce itself is just such a relaxed and beautiful place. Will 100% be back!

Very attractive apartment in the old center city.
It was a lovely space, although there is one thing that any potential renter should be aware of. Public parking is necessary, and because it's a busy spot, we never took day trips because we might come home in the evening and not be able to find a spot. Also, it was necessary to walk 15 minutes every morning at nine to put a day's worth of coins into the machine. It wasn't a huge thing, but it might be a factor for some. One other thing, the kitchen could have been a little better equiped.

perfect base to explore this beautiful town
We were two couples sharing this lovely apartment in the middle of the old town but, nevertheless, very quiet. The bedrooms were large with very comfortable beds and good linens. Two bathrooms, one ensuite and one just across the hall, had walk in showers. The kitchen had all we needed to cook in when we wanted to although there was a difficult choice to be made each day between the excellent local and fresh produce on hand and the great restaurants around. The whole apartment was spotless. The little courtyard was small but perfectly formed! Maurizio was the perfect host, meeting us on the outskirts of town, guiding us to a parking spot and transporting us and our luggage and then being on hand to answer any questions we had. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or to recommend this apartment.

Beautiful apartment in perfect location
Wanting to see more of Puglia, my family and I anchored in Lecce for 4 nights. The apartment was in a great location, spacious, and pretty. The small courtyard made drying clothes easy. The only parking was paid parking outside of the ZTL, and the meter had to be maintained, which meant that my husband and to wake up and pay each morning before 9:00. We always found a parking spot as we came and went from the city, but a couple of times, that seemed like a small miracle. Additionally, there is AC in only one bedroom. We used the provided fan to pull the cool air through the apartment at night since we strayed there in July. I can imagine that the apartment gets warm only a couple months a year, as the vaulted stone ceilings kept things fairly comfortable even when it was stifling outside. Our host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this location, for sure.

Misleading information
Please be aware that some information regarding this property is inaccurate and misleading. The property is well presented and conveniently situated in the historic centre of the old city of Lecce, however as my wife suffers from mobility issues and is currently awaiting major orthopaedic surgery we specifically researched accommodation with onsite parking for our trip (as advertised at this property!) On arrival we found that the property is within the ZTL restricted traffic area and we had to park a considerable distance away in a “pay and display” car park leading to us having to curtail many of our planned excursions to the surrounding area and make frequent trips to feed a parking meter while our rental car enjoyed a more restful vacation than we did.

Perfection in the heart of Lecce & Salento
Simply put, stay in this apartment/house for its ideal location in Lecce's historic centre, easy access to the Adriatic & Ionian coasts by car, and very welcoming and accommodating hosts! Positive features only, among them: - Unbeatable location: Located right in the middle of the buzzing old town, yet on a quiet quaint residential street. Immediate access to main sights, main squares with stunning architecture, restaurants, etc. A magnificent sandstone church marks where to turn off to find your Lecce home. Live like a local...and one who lives well. - Spacious & comfortable interior with useful amenities: Bedrooms with high vaulted sandstone ceilings, large beds with good mattresses, full-sized kitchen with all necessities, two bathrooms (each with a shower!) & even a laundry room with excellent washing machine & laundry sink! - Gracious hosts: The hosts are doing everything right. They ensure that you feel welcome upon arrival. They reply to texts, answer questions & make recommendations, showing that they genuinely care. Good, good people. - Access to beaches on both coasts: Exit the city extremely easily to access highways to idyllic beaches on either the Adriatic or Ionian beaches. - Excellent price: Very reasonable price for all of the above. Basically, stay here when in Puglia if you want to enjoy town, country & sea. Thank you!!
