Luxury holidays in Lecce

When to go

The summer months bring balmy weather and ideal wild-swimming temperatures. If you’re hoping to avoid the tourist rush, visit in September and October, when days still reach highs of 25°C.

Getting there

• Planes

  Fly direct into the nearby city of Brindisi before hopping in a cab for 35 minutes down the coast to Lecce.

• Trains

  Lecce has a small local train station with daily services heading to neighbouring cities and towns – including Brindisi, Bari and Otranto.

• Automobiles

  A pair of wheels won’t be necessary here, Lecce is so small you can walk across it in half an hour.
