Serviced Apartments in Lecce

Often known as ‘The Florence Of The South’ due to it’s rich, vast stock of Baroque architecture, this region dates back more than 2000 years and is the main city on the Salentine Peninsula. A serviced apartment or holiday letting in Lecce allows you to not only enjoy the incredible architecture but also experience the traditions and heritage of the people of this ancient city.

If you take a wander from your Lecce holiday let or apartment rental through the city you will find the delightful Piazza de Duomo, cathedral square, where the vast Cathedral of the Madonna Assunta sits. Built in the mid 1100s this stunning structure was given a complete restoration and a new bell tower in the 1600s. The impressive bell tower stands an enormous 70 metres tall. The square also boasts, amongst numerous other pieces of architecture, two very impressive Baroque monuments well worth a look.

The Church of Santa Chiara houses a really special treat. As you walk through the entrance look up and you will see her ceiling completely covered with delightful, handmade papier-mache decorations, a craft of which this region is famous for. Not far from the church you will find the partly excavated Roman amphitheatre along with the statue of the city’s Patron Saint, St. Oronzo, sitting atop a Roman column. St. Oronzo was reputed to have cured the plague in the city of Brindisi and so the city folk then gave the statue of the saint to Lecce as a gift and quite possibly a safeguard.

If you are staying in a Lecce serviced residence or aparthotel in June you will be able to enjoy The Olive Oil Festival, a celebration of this incredible little fruit and the part it has played in this region for thousands of years. You will be able to take tours through the city’s olive groves, learn how to recognise the characteristics of different oils, take part in cookery courses where you will discover how to incorporate the rich, fragrant oil into some delicious, regional dishes and take guided tours of the markets and speciality shops to sample more of Lecce’s culinary delights. An incredible insight into one of this region’s most important assets.
