About this property

Secret Garden in the Old Town

Located in a courtyard near Piazza Duomo, in the heart of the historic center, Secret Garden is a quiet apartment, full of light and color, fully equipped for a comfortable stay, where you will feel at home. Thanks to a good and stable internet connection, the apartment is also suitable for smart workers. The terrace plants and herbs is a pleasant spot to relax. The apartment is safe, equipped with a surveillance camera, external light. Two bicycles are available for free. The materials and furnishings are mostly of local craft production, the bedroom on the mezzanine is very romantic, the terrace is a nice place to relax among the scent of jasmine, basil, mint and lemon and the colors of the flowers. Every detail has been carefully chosen to make my guests' stay pleasant. I guarantee the utmost cleanliness and hygiene to my guests. The environment is very important for me, so I had a solar hot water panel and a purifier installed to always have drinking water and reduce the use of plastic. The apartment is very comfortable and quiet. Thanks to the position sheltered from the winds, you can use the terrace even in winter
The apartment is located in a restricted traffic area. Contact the host for information about parking.
I am Anna and I will be happy to give my guests all the information about Lecce and surroundings, logistical help and good advice.
The historic center of Lecce is an extraordinary example of Baroque, with churches and palaces made of "Lecce stone", the local limestone. You will fall in love with the rich and light decorations of the Lecce Baroque. In the evening the streets of the old town come alive with many clubs frequented by young and old. I will be happy to recommend some good places to eat, of course. Do not miss Piazza Duomo at night, the pasticciotto and the rustic dell'Alvino and the orecchiette dell'Angiulino!
From Brindisi airport there is a shuttle service, the host can provide a pick-up by car from the bus stop. The train station is a 20-minute walk away. There is a guarded parking at 100 meters. from home and a paid parking just outside the historic center (50 mt

About the host

Hosted by anna

My name is Anna, I love traveling and getting to know different countries and cultures. For me, hosting travelers from all over the world is like traveling without moving from my beloved city. I love nature and I do everything I can to preserve it, I love the bike that is my faithful companion in all my travels. I treat my guests as family people advising them to let them appreciate the beauties of my land.

Why they chose this property

I've been working as a host for 4 years and I find it's the best job in the world

What makes this property unique

The terrace is the area that I love the most. It is a quiet corner full of flowers and aromatic herbs that I cultivate with love without using chemicals. Thanks to the position sheltered from the winds, it can be used on sunny days throughout the year. Even for the hygiene of the home I have limited to the minimum the use of chemicals, to meet the needs of those suffering from allergies. Guests will find on their arrival the pantry stocked for breakfast and seasonal delights. Two bicycles are parked in the courtyard for guests who want to discover the city by pedaling.
