About this property

Lecce: Holiday at Salento. A vintage atmosphere in the heart of Lecce

Living at Casa Greco means having privacy and independence in a large house with all the necessary spaces and fittings for living comfortably, as if it was your own house. It is the ideal choice for a holiday with family or a small group of friends. The house is equipped in a fresh style mixed with a contemporary touch, and with lots of love for the past. It even has furnishings and objects from back in the days, it has a sleeping area with three large double bedrooms, of which one has a balcony. There are two brand-new bathrooms with a walk-in shower, as well as a spacious living area consisting of a large lobby with a reading area and a wide living/dining room. The welcoming kitchen/dining is equipped with all the appliances and accessories, the laundry/bathroom features a washing machine. The house is equipped with internet, autonomous heating, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, linen, towels, dinnerware and any other necessary accessory. The house can accommodate up to 6 adults, plus a toddler in a cradle. The apartment is rented as a whole and exclusively to one customer, in order to make it as private as possible. The way in which we rent the house, even for short periods, is via the transitional contract for tourists with an "all inclusive" rate.

Casa Greco offers a typical and autonomous apartment accommodation, providing all the supplies and accessories that you will need for living comfortably and carrying out independently the various house activities like managing and tidying up the accommodation. Casa Greco offers a beautiful, large, and recently renovated roof terrace: there, you can spend your time outdoors enjoying the sunshine during the morning or the evening breeze, eat breakfast, have lunch and dinner.

Large, clean, and close to everything
We absolutely adored our stay at Casa Greco and can't recommend it enough. Just steps away from the historic city centre, it's a perfect location for a family. The rooftop patio is magical in the evening and the very large and immaculately clean apartment is well appointed with everything you need for your stay. Our most sincere thanks to Paola and Maurizio, who were the perfect hosts and couldn't have made it easier or more enjoyable for us. We hope to be back soon!

lovely apartment right outside the old town. In 2 minutes, you're in the heart of old Lecce which is so beautiful. the apartment is very big. we loved the terrace above the apartment and used it every early evening to have a drink or two before heading out to dinner. The washing machine was great too. there is free street parking a couple of blocks away or paid parking right down the street. truly enjoyed our stay.

Paola and Maurizio's Casa Greco apartment was a wonderful place to stay in Lecco, so convenient to the city's historic center. Their apartment was spacious, super clean and comfortable. Maurizio was such a gracious host and was immediately avaliable to answer any question and to assist with any travel arrangement. We highly recommend this apartment and would book again should we ever have the good fortune to revisit Lecce. Thank you Paola and Maurizio! Jill, Sally and Tom

Very nice and close to center
A very large, clean and well decorated apartment. It suited us very nicely. We would highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Lecce and it's surrounding towns. And it was so very close to Old Town; just a few steps and you are steeped in the history of this fabulous town. It was the greatest of pleasure to explore the avenues and old alleyways of old Lecce. The hostess and her daughter were very responsive and personally showed us around the apartment. We had everything we needed for our stay.

Excellent Location, Great Hosts, Comfortable Apartment
The apartment is ideally situated adjacent to the old historical part of the city, and is quite roomy with an entrance way, three bedrooms, dining room, reading room/office, and a full kitchen, along with a large open rooftop to enjoy outside dining or just relaxing. What makes the apartment even better is the warmth and attentiveness of Paolo and Maurizio, the hosts. They were quickly responsive to very communication from the initial booking to the end of our stay. Lecce is a wonderful city, and if/when we return, this is the first apartment I would check out.

An excellent well located apartment
This is a very comfortable, well-equipped apartment located very close to one of the gates into the Old Town of Lecce. Shops, restaurants and bars are all within easy walking distance. There is also a Conrad supermarket less than a kilometre from the apartment. The only minor irritant is the presence across the road from the apartment of a mobile fast food van which can be quite noisy in the late evening and early evening. But it didn’t really disturb us much. The Old Town of Lecce is impressive with plenty of interesting sights and buildings but we also used it as a base to visit by rail a number of nearby towns including, Monopoli, Brindisi, Taranto and Gallipoli - all worth a visit. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday in an excellent apartment

Great location with terrific patio
This is a fantastic place with one significant downfall. In the lot right outside the bedroom windows is a very popular food truck that is open all night long. The appartment windows did not keep out the noise. If your a night owl or use to a loud nights sleep the appartment is great. The roof top patio is outstanding the beds were comfortable and owners were very nice.

Spacious and comfy apartment
Maurizio and Paola could not have been more gracious hosts. They took care of many details for us and were always prompt to answer when we had questions. Their apartment is spacious and perfect for a family or, as we were, three single women. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom! The location is ideal. It is right near one of the entrances to the historic center of Lecce.We took three separate day trips outside of Leche to very interesting areas, which makes Lecce- a good jumping off point to explore Puglia.

Lovely apartment a Lecce ... just
Maurizio was really friendly he made us feel very welcome. The flat was perfect for our stay in beautiful Lecce - a great location . It has the charm of a vintage flat and the comfort of a modern flat. Really a lovely kitchen, beautiful bathrooms and the beedrooms. It is full of day light and the location is perfect, attached to the walls of the old historical center, at walk distance to all historical sites. For people interested in visiting Lecce and the beautiful region of Salento, the flat is highly recommended. we also take the opportunity to sent to Maurizio and Paola our best regards.

Lecce Vacation
The apartment was spotless, lots of room to spread out and everything worked. It is a downtown location so noise was an issue due to traffic, a nearby food truck and 4 am garbage pickup. Our biggest challenge was parking. There was none and we were parking in a lot 15 minutes away. If you are coming by car be sure you are clear of the parking options as the owner takes no responsibility.

Lecce - A Must Visit Holiday Destination
From the first moment of our arrival in Lecce we felt at home. The warmest of welcomes from Paola & Maurizio which includes a lovely welcome basket of Leccese goodies. The apartment was well positioned just outside of the walled “old town” - an easy 5-10 minute walk and you are within the walls of this beautiful, completely intact baroque city. Inside the apartment, it was all we could have asked for and more - light, bright, airy with big rooms, superb kitchen, well appointed bathrooms, laundry etc and to top it off there is a fabulous roof top which guests have to themselves. From here you can almost reach out and touch rooftops of Lecce. And while the Old Town is fantastic, do yourself a huge favour and be sure to check out Lecce proper - find Piazza Mazzini and you will find a shopping paradise along with caffes, restaurants and all other manner of interesting places. We (4 adult women) loved it and highly recommend “Casa Greco” for a family or for a group of friends.

Great location BUT!!!!
Communication with the hosts and their flexibility to meet us for check in was most appreciated. This is an old family home. The location is very convenient to visit historic district. Free parking was available within a few blocks. Note that there is street noise, and there is an outdoor casual food truck across from bedroom windows that was open until 5 am and very hard to sleep thru. The apartment is in need of cleaning. The floors were not clean cob webs around and you could feel the dust on the bathroom walls. The older doors had so much paint they couldn’t close properly and required door stops. For the premium charge, there needs to be better guest essentials, ie, bathroom products, one bath had no shelf in shower, and add space for personal things. Only one hairdryer for a 3 bedroom apartment. There were no luggage racks and had to spread out on the old furniture. the kitchen could be enhanced by adding toaster, modern coffee maker, microwave oven, proper cooking equipment that one would expect to find in a premium rental. There was a table for a TV, a cable hookup at the table but NO TV.

Great location, friendly hosts, lots of space
This is a terrific property. It is located just outside the Lecce old city walls, a quick walk to two of the beautiful city gates that give easy access to the historic center with all the sites and restaurants and cafes within reach. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it has plenty of space and is comfortable. It is an older building but it has been maintained well. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need and we enjoyed breakfast each morning as a family in the apartment. The hosts, Paola and Maurizio are quick to respond and very friendly. They provide all the information you need for parking, arrival, and departure, etc. Be aware that the living space requires climbing a flight of stairs, with no elevator access. There is also a lovely private rooftop terrace up another flight of stairs -- a nice place for lunch or evening drinks depending on the weather. The building is on a busy street but with the windows closed at night, noise was not an issue for us. There are multiple affordable parking options nearby and we did not have any issue finding a space in the closest lot. We enjoyed our stay in Lecce a lot and highly recommend this property as a way to experience Lecce and the surrounding area. It is easy to use Lecce as a base and do day trips to Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca, Ostuni, etc. We were traveling with our older parents and they also enjoyed staying here. We would definitely return to this property and recommend it highly. Grazie Paola e Maurizio!

A wonderful experience in this lovely apartment right outside the gates of Lecce.
My husband and I enjoyed feeling like ‘ex-patriates’ while staying in this beautiful, large apartment. We were able to tour all day and then stroll into town each evening for dinner. There are many interesting and beautiful towns within an easy drive, and we found Lecce to be a lively, ‘real’, Italian town with historical sites, lovely shops and a variety of restaurants, wine bars, and dining options. Hope you are there are a Sunday evening when locals and tourists alike enjoy a light dinner and strolling the streets. The owners are gracious and helpful and the apartment is beautifully maintained with two modern bathrooms and a roomy kitchen. We never actually cooked, but it Is nice that there is a dishwasher. I hand washed some laundry, but there is a small washing machine (no dryer) in a nice laundry room. For me, the only thing more I would have asked for is a coffee maker. There are nearby cafes for yummy cappuccinos, but I missed my morning coffee in the apartment (didn’t know how to use that Italian press.). We visited in early October and had great weather so we were able to use the rooftop garden a couple of times. We had a car which I strongly recommend for touring and we parked it in a nearby parking area for a weekly fee. The apartment is very conveniently located for a five-minute walk into town and to grocery stores. The living space is one floor up from the street, but since it is located on the corner of a fairly busy street there is occasional street noise; however, we never found it to be a problem. We enjoyed our stay very much.

De woning ligt op een mooie locatie, niet ver van het centrum van Lecce. De ontvangst was zeer vriendelijk en kregen voldoende uitleg. Aangezien de woning geschikt is voor 6 personen zou het wel prettig zijn dat er een fatsoenlijk koffiezetapparaat is, geschikt voor meerdere koppen koffie. De deuren van toiletten en slaapkamers kan men niet goed sluiten.

Wonderful apartment in perfect location
We had a wonderful stay in Paola & Maurizios apartment in Lecce. The apartment was enormous and everything was spotlessly clean. Upon arrival we were greeted by Paola and a "welcome basket" with wine and local delicacies. Very sweet gesture. We were introduced to the apartment and given their mobile numbers in case we had any questions. The apartment is located literally just outside the charming and beautiful historical center of Lecce. We found the city wonderful and the apartment to be in perfect location. Easy to drive up to. Easy to park nearby and convenient location for exploring Lecce on foot. The private roof terrace was a welcome wonderful bonus to chill on warm summer nights and have breakfast in the mornings. Very secure neighborhood and wonderful friendly hosts. Thank you Paola & Maurizio for a wonderful stay. We would not hesitate to return some day.

L'appartement-maison (accès unique pour le seul locataire) est vaste, très bien aménagé (tout confort) et dispose en sus d'une très grande terrasse.

Les premières plages sont à 25 kms. Enfin Paola est une propriétaire très disponible, très réactive et qui parle bien français. Elle est aussi conviviale que bienveillante et veille en permanence sur le bien-être de ses hôtes.

About the host

Hosted by Paola e Maurizio

Host profile image
My name is Paola Greco, I live at Lecce since I was born. I am married to Maurizio since 23 years and I have two daughters (22 and 18 years old). I teach business economics. Casa Greco is a large and beautiful house that belonged to my family: a stately house from the 1930s, with a typical style of the period: very spacious and bright, with large bedrooms and spaces, very airy, and well furnished. Here, you can spend a pleasing stay while discovering Lecce and the Salento. Casa Greco offers, for a small daily extra charge, its beautiful, large and appealing roof terrace: ideal for enjoying the beautiful season, sunbathing during the day and feeling the breeze in the evening, or having breakfast, lunch, or dinner al-fresco.

Why they chose this property

My husband Maurizio and I decided to rent Casa Greco mainly out of passion. We love the idea of welcoming travellers from all over the world who decided to come to our land for visiting Lecce and Salento. We love to manage the house directly, we offer a quality service, take care of all the details, and have a special relationship with our guests. Making them happy about choosing our house, contributing to showing them the beauties of our land, our traditions, and our welcoming culture. We like to make contact and get to know them. In short, this business to us is a bit like travelling the world while staying at home. It makes us feel, in our small area, like the ambassadors of Lecce and the Salento. In 2012 we started to rent our first holiday home in Lecce, Le Armelline (listing 581108 on Homelidays) and we had an amazing success with many guests from all over the world: they were happy and satisfied. This success has encouraged us to extend our small business, and that's when we decided to renovate Casa Greco and arrange it as a holiday home, while making sure that its original architecture and vintage atmosphere remained intact, and keeping it focussed on a very peaceful, relaxed, cosy, and stylish lifestyle, like it once was.

What makes this property unique

The house is completely independent and very large. It has three spacious bedrooms, a large dining/sitting room, a beautiful kitchen and 3 bathrooms. It has been recently renovated, with new wirings and bathrooms, and it has all the modern commodities (internet TV, air-conditioning, and much more). Starting from spring 2016, and for a small daily extra charge, Casa Greco offers a splendid, recently renovated roof terrace: there, you can spend your time outdoors enjoying the sunshine during the morning or the evening breeze, have breakfast, have lunch, dinner, and even organize a barbecue.
