Casa Mamma Elvira
My room was spacious and even though the hotel is within the walled area of Lecce, it can still be reached by taxi. The only negative are the stars, but the owner is helpful and friendly and i'm sure would give a hand with the luggage. There are two excellent restaurants that are part of the hotel ...
