Our four night stay at Villa Giuliana was an absolute delight!! We arrived weary from our long trip from JFK and left refreshed (but sad to leave!!) Villa Giuliana is surrounded by beautiful gardens, fruit and olive trees, truly an oasis in the middle of the bustling area of Lecce!! The rooms were simple, yet immaculate, large and very comfortable. Andrea, our host, was so helpful and generous with his time. He made sure we visited all the right places and made great restaurant recommendations. Andrea's Mom baked homemade goodies every morning, with fresh fruit, cereal, bread.........the BEST coffee, etc.
Lecce, the Old City, is amazing, a true treasure yet to be discovered by Americans.....won't be long!! We have been all around Italy, but fell in love with Puglia and it's wonderful people who are warm and welcoming. Can't wait to return!!
