| DESCRIPTION |
|
“Aranceto” is a renovated 18th century ancient dwelling located in the town’s historic centre, close to monuments, to Lecce night life, and also to the beautiful beaches of Salento. Aranceto has three fully equipped double rooms and a flat for up to three people on the terrace and on the first floor of the house. Two of the rooms have a view on the orange garden, where breakfast is served in spring/summertime on request. The flat on the terrace has a large balcony/terrace (with a sweet/poetic view on bell towers and old roofs), where breakfast is served on request in spring/summer. Going downstairs there is a small double room with a fascinating semicircular vault, which has a view on the small street. The other two double rooms are on the first floor, one in particular has a romantic view on the garden through a small, Romeo-and-Juliet-like balcony.
Continental breakfast include home-made marmalade and fresh local products and Marcello’s and Stella’s advices on which beaches to go to depending on winds! The owners are also very happy to cook dinners for their clients on request in July and August, which include the best local specialities and also on request “asado”, Argentinian meat cooked in the typical “asador” in the garden, all accompanied by local, excellent red wine.
The place is very close to the main Baroque monuments for which Lecce is famous and close to shops, cinemas, restaurants and to pubs and bars which make up an exciting night “movida”. Tennis courts are at a walking distance, while golf courts are some miles away. Beaches are relatively close (there are more than sixty beaches in the Salento area!), the town has a lively cultural life also in summer.
Beside that, Marcello and Stella will guide you to discover the secrets of hundreds of small, old villages through legends and myths, flavours and tastes which make a stay in “Aranceto” really unique and unforgettable.
