Fiammetta08/2021 - AirbnbWe had a great time.
Alberto08/2021 - AirbnbEverything's great. Recommended!
Giulia08/2021 - AirbnbGreat location, close to the waterfront and other amenities.
Marco08/2020 - AirbnbValentina is a super host: kind, punctual, smiling and attentive to her guests' needs. We had a great time. The house is truly relaxing, with all comforts, sunny and spacious. The two terraces, one facing east and the other west, allow you to enjoy some shade at any time of the day. From the rooftop, a breathtaking view over all of Leuca and the lighthouse lit at night is truly romantic. The only downside is not having parking, but by looking around the nearby alleys during the day you can always find something. The location is excellent, 5 minutes from the seafront and a few minutes from all necessary amenities such as supermarket, shops, restaurants, post office and bakery. Thank you Valentina, I hope I can be your guest again.
Christina09/2022 - AirbnbWe felt very comfortable and welcome here! Valentina is a super warm and helpful host! The roof terrace is a real highlight! Be sure to visit the restaurant Biccondivino (just around the corner from the apartment) - a delight!

Nadia08/2023 - AirbnbValentina is a really great host. She welcomed us into her apartment with a smile that immediately put us at ease. She recommended places to visit and a restaurant where it was worth eating. Unlike usual, Valentina provided everything in the kitchen with spices, tea and herbal teas, not to mention coffee, sugar, oil and various condiments, even aluminum foil and cling film, which I had not found in any other house, and all possible soaps even for the washing machine. Everything is very clean and tastefully furnished with special objects. The beautiful terrace above the apartment is truly an added value.

Isabelle08/2025 - AirbnbWe had a great time at Valentina's place! Her apartment met all of our expectations: in town but a little away from the center (very busy in August), we could do everything on foot: go to the beach, go shopping, go to dinner. In addition it is very well equipped and nicely decorated. Valentina gave us great recommendations in terms of places to go, visit, or dine. Valentina is a very friendly host who was always very responsive when we needed her. Thanks for a great week!
Nathalie07/2025 - AirbnbWe stayed a week in Valentina's apartment, very well equipped and close to the beach and small shops on foot.

The terrace was very nice with a great view.

Emma07/2021 - AirbnbGreat place! The hosts are truly helpful and friendly, the accommodation is comfortable and clean, very close to a lovely small sandy beach (5 minutes on foot), surrounded by good restaurants and cafés.

The food is good everywhere – everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
