Nella nostra casa si entra come Ospiti e... si va via come Amici !!! Con mia moglie saremo lieti di segnalarvi le migliori opportunità per godere a meglio del vostro soggiorno a Lecce da veri leccesi. La casa è ideale per le famiglie con i bambini: qui troveranno giochi ed attrazioni che li faranno vivere la casa come la propria. La dimora è una tipica casa salentina di inizi '900 con volte a stella e pavimenti in cementine; è una vera e propria casa dotata di ogni accessorio e confort: in vacanza potreste riscoprirvi a preparare una torta, a leggere un libro, a curare le piante del terrazzo o a farvi un giro in bici. Fantastico il terrazzo attrezzato, vero punto di relax della casa: da qui si godono tramonti fantastici e sarà bello organizzarsi delle cene a "lume di candela". La camera da letto è, sostanzialmente, divisa da un soppalco: il letto principale, matrimoniale, è ricavato sul soppalco, nella parte bassa, vi è anche un divano letto a due posti; adiacente alla stanza vi è il bagno, ampio, moderno e confortevole. Offriamo anche l'utilizzo gratuito di biciclette per girare nel centro storico ed il servizio shopping bag di prima accoglienza. E' richiesto un supplemento per il servizio di biancheria (bagno e letto) nonchè per eventuale richiesta di colazione, pulizia giornaliera e navetta.
Se avrete piacere, sarà bello poter passeggiare insieme per Lecce ed indicarvi le cose più caratteristiche della città: le leggende dietro i monumenti, i locali più alla moda, i ristoranti caratteristici, ecc. La casa è realmente posizionata nel cuore del centro storico e le vere attrattive della città sono nel raggio massimo di 150 metri dalla casa. Sia di giorno che di sera avrete modo di gustare appieno le varie attrattive turistiche: dai monumenti, alle chiese, le viuzze particolari. Non esitate a richiederci maggiori informazioni su vostre richieste particolari: tour in bici, per città o località limitrofe, corsi di cucina tipica, distanza di campi di paddle o di tennis, locali alternativi, noleggio bici, guide turistiche private, ecc. Per i soggiorni oltre una settimana, i consumi di luce e gas vanno pagati a parte.
La casa è situata nel pieno centro storico di Lecce tra il teatro romano e p.tta S. Chiara, a cinquanta metri da piazza Sant' Oronzo, la piazza principale di Lecce, nel pieno dei vicoli turistici e della vita notturna Leccese. I fantastici risvegli nella casa tipica leccese, le passeggiate mattutine a scoprire ogni vicolo della città, i mercatini rionali, ogni ristorantino vicino casa, ogni bar dove poter assaggiare i famosi aperitivi alla leccese, ogni enoteca dove poter gustare i vini salentini, vi faranno sentire davvero in vacanza. Nel centro storico non è possibile parcheggiare se non per lasciare i bagagli davanti a casa: l'auto potrà essere lasciata per strada ma sarà mia cura indirizzarvi ai parcheggi liberi o ad un garage nelle vicinanze. Lecce è una città tranquilla dove non vi è da temere per la propria incolumità: di giorno e di notte il centro è video-sorvegliato e pattugliato dalle forze di polizia; ciò non di meno, vi esortiamo ad usare le normali regole di prudenza per prevenire borseggi o altro.
