Damarosa Suite - Luxurious 2 Bedroom

The property was beautifully designed with a nice sunny balcony to sit and have a morning coffee. It’s in a quiet residential area but only around an easy 20 minute walk into the old town A small mini mart is why in around a 5 minute walk and there is a small square nearby with a local Pizzeria and a Pasticceria for pastries. The host was very responsive and met us with the keys. He gave us a map of the area and spent some time pointing out where to go and places for lunch and dinner.

We found the bed and pillows too firm which in unfortunately spoiled our stay due to fractious sleep waking up uncomfortable.

Despite not having many reviews, we took a chance because the photos looked so beautiful—and this place blew away our expectations. It was, without a doubt, a highlight of our trip and one of the best places we have stayed. The space itself was extremely spacious, comfortable, and gorgeous, featuring some stunning decor. Literally, even the dishes were gorgeous! But what made the experience truly exceptional, was that the hospitality and helpfulness along with the comfort of the space surpassed even the beauty of the space.We found parking easily and we walked everywhere we wanted to go (and one night, tired, on the complete other side of Lecce, we were able to take a very affordable cab ride back). It was so spacious, we had room to roll out our yoga mat and enjoy the beautiful surroundings as well. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Lecce and am already planning our return!

We stayed on the first floor, but the high ceilings meant a few stairs. That said, they were so completely worth it. As I said - I would love to return!

This was by far the most beautiful place we stayed at – incredibly clean, with stunning design and every detail thoughtfully curated. The host was extremely helpful and gave us amazing local tips. Highly recommended!

The apartment was spacious, spotless, and well equipped – we found everything we needed. It had been renovated with great care, respecting the character and history of the building, and was furnished with exceptional taste and attention to detail, combining comfort with a refined sense of style. The location was ideal for us: a peaceful neighborhood just outside the busiest tourist area, yet only a few steps from a lively square where we enjoyed the everyday rhythm of local life in its cafés and restaurants – places that quickly became familiar and dear to us. Special thanks to our host Luke, who is incredibly kindg and genuinely committed to making his guests feel welcome and at ease. His warm and thoughtful presence truly made a difference. This place easily deserves a perfect score – and when we return to Lecce, there’s no doubt this will be our number one choice.

Nothing!

This apartment was stunning. Everything was clean, modern, homely, comfortable, with all details well thought through. The design was chic and it actually made me not want to leave each morning and night! Luke was a wonderful host, sharing with us all the local recommendations, a bottle of wine, some pastries, fruit, etc. It’s clear he’s not only an entertainer, but has also put a lot of care and love into creating and maintaining this beautiful property. I wish I could have him design my own renovation back home! I’ll definitely stay again when next in Lecce.
