Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Maria di Leuca

We absolutely loved this little house, a real slice of heaven! What the photos don't show is that the small house is located on a hill with a beautiful garden + sea view as well as fields of olive trees and wild flowers/grasses surrounding the house. It is also possible to follow very beautiful small trails in the fields from the house. The accommodation is very well equipped and the kitchen is fully functional. We also really enjoyed the location: many beautiful beaches are nearby and it's very easy to get around the surrounding villages / towns. In short, we recommend 100%!!

It was a pleasure staying there. The apartment is comfortably furnished and has a very nice floor plan. The self-built rooms were very appealing and the outdoor area invited you to linger.

We (7 people) had a great stay at Sara's place. The villa is very tastefully decorated, with everything you need. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom. The spacious covered veranda gives plenty of shade in the sun or makes it possible to be outdoors even in light rain. The infinity saltwater pool with ocean views and the outdoor kitchen with gas and charcoal grill are a real highlight. Also the rooftop terrace with sea view, which we used for yoga sessions. The location is super quiet in a villa district. Villa has a fantastic tuff stone garden. Santa Maria de Leuca is within walking distance. There are smaller shops and a few bars/restaurants. However, some things were closed during our travel time (mid-October). Weekly markets, larger supermarkets and restaurants in the neighboring towns between 5-8km. Sara and Sergio (contact person on site) were always available and super helpful. Clear recommendation. THANK YOU ❤️

Very nice place to stay, very quiet, nestled in a lovely landscape. Unfortunately, some utensils are missing in the kitchen to be able to cook yourself (peeler, good pans, cereal bowls, among others). Would be great if that was added. Otherwise, we were extremely satisfied.

Martas apartment was really lovely and she was a great host! The place had everything you needed and was directly opposite the natural swimming pool. We would 100% recommend staying here!

Our stay with Stefania was amazing. The accommodation was luxurious and comfortable. Situated a mile from the old town of Lecce, easily walkable. Stefania was so friendly and helpful, she sorted out a parking fine that we had. Just to note, yellow lines on the road mean no parking unless you are a resident. Visitors use the blue parking spaces. I would recommend Stefania’s accommodation to everyone and would certainly stay again.

Really beautiful apartment in a lovely town. Alessandro and the team were super communicative and friendly. The apartment has everything you could need including things like a parasol and hairdryer which we used nearly every day. It is also really tastefully furnished with loads of antiques. We loved the secret staircase to the roof terrace which was a lovely surprise. We also really liked that the air conditioning is really effective. They provided lots of bottled water which was really nice to have when we arrived. They also gave us lots of good restaurant/bar/beach recommendations which were again really useful. We’d recommend the AirBnb to anyone and we’d like to come again ourselves!

This is a beautiful spot with a very special place to swim. In May (before the ladder is placed) jumping in is comfortable and the exit front the water requires a bit of climb. Your hosts couldn’t be sweeter or more responsive. Very thoughtful and prompt. It’s a small place but it’s well equipped and beautifully maintained. Sadly, there was loud construction happening on the dwellings on either side of us during our stay but that could happen anywhere and can’t be predicted. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is the kind of place that I wish would stay secret because it is so perfect. The appartment is on a high floor of a beautiful building overlooking the water, with gorgeous sea views from the windows. The amenities were as described. The beds are comfortable and I'll be dreaming of the master bedroom with that view on the sea. Walking down to the sea at the base of the building takes you to a gorgeous cliffside bay and there are sun chairs to lay out with a parasol. Access into the water wasn't as easy as I expected, but we were also there at a time of year where the sea was still cool and there were waves big enough to make us second guess swimming there. The village was quite quiet as we were off season, with many storefronts and restaurants still shut down. We enjoyed the quiet and made use of our rented car to explore surrounding villages. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a serene, well located, quiet getaway with a wonderful host.

We stayed for a few days during our trip though Puglia and we really loved our stay. The place was perfect for us as a family, Biagio was very kind and attentive, provided us with so much valuable information and tips. Besides, the region has amazing nature, historical sites, food! We are already planning our stay next year, thank you Biagio!

We stayed 3 days in the home, which with its 2 roof terraces is superbly located with fantastic sunset views. The relatively few square meters are well utilized and tastefully decorated, and it was easy to find parking within a short walking distance to the apartment with a recommendation from Ivan. Only on Sundays/holidays, please note that parking is not allowed due to the market. The small town has plenty of bars and several good restaurants. There are maps to a nice sandy beach and several down the coast, and along the boardwalk there is a nice walking/running/bike path several kilometers in both directions along the bay, if you also want to exercise. Good location for excursions to the slightly larger nearby towns and attractions. Clearly a place we'd like to come back to. Both for the quality of the home and the area's amenities.

Best ever location. 50 meters from the sea. Plenty of restaurants near by simply the best

We had an amazing stay at casa coco. Marco was an excellent host- communication was amazing and he was always happy to help. The apartment is gorgeous and we could not get over how beautiful the terrace was in real life! The location was perfect for exploring the old town and the beach. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone 😊

I can easily say that our stay was nothing short of perfect. First of all, even before our arrival, our hosts Francesco and Donna were incredibly helpful, their quick responses to our messages made everything feel so easy and reassuring. Communication and check-in were smooth and effortless. As for the house; it’s simply stunning! It’s so beautiful that you find yourself torn between going out to explore the area or just staying in to enjoy the space. The terrace is absolutely amazing, both in the morning and at sunset. The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and everything was spotlessly clean. Every detail has been carefully thought out, even down to the soundproof windows. Staying in a house like this in such a location is truly something special. I can easily say this was the highlight of our trip to Puglia and Lecce. We wholeheartedly recommend it!

Perfect location right in the heart of the old city and incredible views of the sea from the terrace. Best sunsets! Amazing restaurants within 1 minute walk. Directly above the beach, 1 minute walk down to the beach. The terrace is spacious and even has an outdoor shower! The apartment itself is very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need. Very comfortable beds and plenty of natural light. Some street noise at night but never an issue for us. Parking was a bit far (10-15 min walk, but those are the city rule). Very communicative, kind and helpful host. We really loved our stay here and would highly recommend.

Patrizia’s home was impeccable, with elegant decor and well thought out to the last detail. Really enjoyed the private terrace as well as the roof top. High end amenities all the way. As a hostess she was responsive and helpful. The neighbourhood is well situated for visiting the old town. Would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic place and we’d highly recommend it! Beautiful, spacious, spotless, well-decorated apartment in a great location with roof terraces (plural!) with amazing views. Ludovica was the perfect host- very responsive and helpful and the apartment guide was a very thoughtful and useful addition. Gallipoli is also a great place to stay when exploring Puglia, with lovely local beaches, good restaurants, activities and other towns in easy distance. Thank you Ludovica!

We had a great stay here - beautiful beaches and lovely restaurants just a short walk and the host was very helpful and communicative if I needed anything. Recommend this place!

This apartment is excellent. The location and views are amazing. We enjoyed the proximity to beach, local cafe and constantly changing vista. Out hosts were very supportive and friendly, but allowed us the space for a quiet holiday. We appreciated quick responses when we asked for recommendations. This was a relaxing, spacious and restful place to be. Thank you Marcello and Claudio.

great place. apartment with soul where you may find the history of the lecce, but modern equipted and very comfortable.

We had a truly wonderful stay in this beautifully designed apartment in the peaceful and charming town of Nardò. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated – from the gorgeous tiles and carefully chosen furniture and fabrics, to the absolutely stunning terrace that perfectly frames the beautiful church in the main square. You can really feel the care and artistic eye that went into creating this space. It’s both stylish and incredibly comfortable. Although we didn’t meet Mikaela in person, her warm communication made us feel very welcome. She even left us a bottle of prosecco to enjoy on the terrace. Highly recommended!

A special stay for 3 nights, in a lovely setting. Alessandro gave us fantastic recommendations for local shopping, and the kitchen faculties were great to cook in ! Spongano is a cute town, check out the icecream shop too. Alessandro's place has lots of space, and makes you feel like you're really staying in Italy !

I had a wonderful month in Lecce, a great deal attributes to the fact that I was staying at Fausto’s apartment. I think we’ve got the best view in the city. I really like this apartment a lot. It has every good quality that’s been mentioned in the previous reviews, and more. I also wanted to thank Fausto for his prompt responses and assistance. I had some knee issues and required assistance to get me to the train station and to the right platform the day I left and Fausto did not hesitate to help. For that he has my gratitude and thanks. I hope to return to Lecce and this beautiful apartment again in the future.

Loved my experience here. Beautiful location. People are friendly in the building and surrounding area. Giovanni is warm and communicative. There was coffee and other necessities to cook. I hope to make it back there one day. Thank you Giovanni.
