Apartment holiday rentals in Racale

Lucci d'Oriente exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, cheerfully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything: nothing is missing. From every window you can see the sea, as if you were inside it. The terrace with direct access to the sea is a true privilege. Going up from there to the apartment requires some effort, but it's totally worth it. It is ideal for a family with children, very comfortable and functional. Santa Cesarea Terme is quiet, with some options for light meals and ice cream. Parking next door is free if there is space, and very accessible if you pay. Rita and Stefano were exceptional hosts: attentive, kind and always available. They made us feel at home. We'd come back without hesitation!

Since I was looking for quiet holidays right by the sea it was ideal. Maria and Tomaso are very friendly and helpful also with bike rental nearby. A car or bike is necessary if you want to go to the center or to the promenade or to the sandy beach Spiagga di Torre San Giovanni. The promenade/center can be reached in 15 minutes by bike and on your way home you will drive into the sunset. Great. Looking forward to the next visit to Torre San Giovanni!

Great apartment in the best location with a gorgeous rooftop! The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful!

We could not imagine the experience to be any better. The accomodation is excellent, clean and perfectly located. Antonio was very accommodating and responded quickly to our questions. Did I mention the bottle of wine he left for us 🤣 if your heading to Lecce you will not be disappointed staying here..👍

A wonderful stay. The apartment was very clean. The main bedroom is on the street so is quite loud at night and in the early morning, but the location is amazing for exploring. The staircase is tight and steep, but no problem for us. A lovely, well furnished, shaded deck upstairs. We were getting multiple messages a day from the lady who checked us in. About putting out garbage etc. Maybe all this info in one message would be better than constant messaging. But other than that we really had a wonderful stay.

Really great apartment. Spacious, clean and accommodating. Very close to the beaches. You need a car, however, to move around. Cafés, restaurants, etc are not close. Diso as a village has not much of a vibe. But the apartment is a great place to be and to start your daily trip.

We stayed 5 nights in this apartment. The terrace is amazing as well as the sea view!!!! Well located, supermarket 8 min drive, the small city centre is within walking distance. Clean and functional apartment, however it is very poorly soundproofed, we heard the neighbours next door and above very distinctly. There is also an open-air nightclub 400m away, it was very noisy but only for 1 night, but it was the national holiday!! The earplugs solved the problem!

Everything was perfect! Excellent hospitality, I've never had such courteous and generous hospitality (fridge full of fruit, drinks, and fresh pastries brought by the very kind Mrs. Carla Eva). Super clean, beautiful terrace and very close to the beautiful beach. Congratulations to the hosts!

This place is beyond special. Set in the carriage house of a splendid villa estate. The location was perfect for us, between lovely Nardo and the gorgeous waterfront of Santa Caterina. Anna and Carlo are gracious and generous hosts, it was our great pleasure to get to know them a little bit during our stay. They are passionate gardeners and conservationists and this passion was evident in all that they did. We were greeted with fruit and herbs from the garden and delicious local wine. The casa (there are two, side by side) was spotless and beautifully decorated, the pool just perfect. We hope to return one day. Thank you Carlo and Anna for sharing your beautiful place with us.

We had a great time at Antonio's place. This is the quintessential holiday home! A great sea view, a terrace and a very nice house. We immediately felt good there. Antonio welcomed us perfectly and was very available. We'll be happy to go back.

Perfect stay right near the beach that felt like home! This property has super comfortable beds, nice linens and many little things that made for a very relaxing stay. We thought we’d visit a number of the villages in the area, but found ourselves just wanting to relax at the house and on the local beaches instead. If we come back to the area, we are 100% staying here again. Also, although there are good restaurants in town, cooking was easy bc there’s a BBQ on the patio, lots of spices and pots/pans to cook with and plenty of plates/cups/glasses/etc. It’s a well stocked kitchen - much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. If you’re thinking about this place, stop looking at other options and book it. You won’t regret your decision. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!

Simply paradise: we chose this stop in Morciano di Leuca to get closer to southern Puglia, without really knowing what to expect… and it was just wonderful! Hosted by Giulia, everything went extremely well! The services of this Airbnb are EXCEPTIONAL: the beautiful room, the delicious breakfast, the very well maintained jacuzzi, the nearby village is very pretty with good restaurants… + we were a 10-minute drive to the beaches called "Maldives of Salento". In short, we recommend it ++++++ Worth a 5-star hotel! Grazzie mille Giulia for this timeless moment, it was great 🤩

Great host, great location (ground floor) directly on the rocky beach, beautiful small sandy beach 300 m away with management (Lido Pazze), great large, long and flat sandy beach about 3 km away - starting directly behind the port of Torre San Giovanni to Posto Veccio -, ideal for families with toilets and management. Crystal clear, turquoise water. The pizzeria is practically right next door. 400 m away is a new, very good restaurant "Clanto" (5 Google stars) for Neapolitan pizza and Apulian cuisine The kitchen is very well equipped, vinegarments, oil, spices, sugar, coffee…Tools etc. You can rent a boat in Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca about 25-35 minutes away (the landlords in Torre S.Giovanni were not reachable). Very good starting point for exploring Ri Taranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, Otranto, Lecce. Unfortunately, we were far too short on site, but the apartment was only free for 3 nights... 😢 So far, we don't like the Adriatic side as much as the Ionian side

We had a lovely stay in Lecce, thanks to Marion. She was extremely kind and welcoming, and went above and beyond by providing thoughtful, detailed recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, which we appreciated so much. The apartment itself was beautiful, comfortable, and full of character, and such a peaceful place to return to after exploring the city. Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than planned due to a long drive and poorly timed flights on our part, but we truly wish we could have stayed longer. This was a 10/10 experience, and we hope to return one day. Highly recommend!!

Our stay in Castrignano del Capo was a real dream! Lorenzo's house is an authentic gem: tastefully cared for in the smallest details, welcoming and immersed in absolute quiet. The terrace is enchanting, overlooking a centuries-old olive grove that offers a peace that is difficult to describe in words. A sensory and regenerating experience. A great deal of credit also goes to Lorenzo, his mother Antonella and his father Pietro, who are always available and attentive. They welcomed us warmly, providing us with valuable advice on places to visit, typical restaurants and the most beautiful beaches. Always present if necessary, but with great discretion. The location is ideal: in a few minutes you can reach the wonderful beaches of Salento and the authentic villages of the Salento hinterland. Castrignano is a quiet but lively village, with friendly and helpful people. It is the perfect place for those seeking beauty, silence, nature and authenticity. We left a piece of our heart here! Highly recommended!

Chiara truly earns her title of superhost! She personally greeted and farewelled us and made us feel so welcome in her stunning home, a casa di Adele. The location is perfect and walking around Castro was so enjoyable and easy. The view from the outdoor area was such a pleasant way to relax and soak up the sun and fresh air each day. Chiara is extremely generous and adds so many extras to make her guests comfortable. We really appreciated things such as the drinks, snacks, and breakfast for our first night and morning. We also noticed special touches like plenty of towels, spare power adaptors and citronella candles. Be sure to visit grotto Zinzulusa, eat delicious seafood and swim at the Castro marina. We thoroughly loved our stay in Castro and were very sad we couldn’t stay longer. Best Airbnb this trip, by far!

Nieves was wonderful. She went way out of her way to make us feel welcome. She even volunteered to go shopping for us, since we arrived late in the evening!! When the hot water heater stopped working, she and a technician came out the same day to resolve the issue. When we locked ourselves out of the apartment she made a special trip to provide us extra keys. She is such a nice lady. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The private courtyard was quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable. The linens were pressed. If we ever return to Lecce, we will stay here again.

We absolutely loved this apartment! Very spacious and clean, and had everything we needed. We chose this place because of walkability to old town (about 30 min walk) and easy access parking, but fell in love with the apartment. Beautiful views from the balcony! We were also very thankful for the snacks available when we arrived. We will definitely be back. Thank you Domenico!

great location, short walk to beach and town but away from the chaos of the town. availability of on site car parking (additionally paid) was incredibly helpful.

This apartment was perfect for exploring the city and the historic area! You could walk everywhere and the apartment is very big. Check in and out was super easy and Laura was quick to respond on any questions we had. I would recommend this place to anyone who just needs an easy landing space to go roam the lovely city of Lecce!

Beautiful stay in the historic heart of Lecce! We loved our cozy little nest that is the Pumo Verde! The host was super responsive and available for any questions. The only downside is the humidity, but this is a common factor in Lecce. I highly recommend this little gem!!

The accommodation was very good and as advertised. The big plus point is the pool, it is beautiful with beautiful sea views.

I would give this place and host 6 stars if I could! It’s a HUGE apartment that’s part of a palazzo built in the 1400s. Luigia is the most charming, warm, friendly and helpful host ever! She makes you feel at home and does so many thoughtful things like stocking the fridge with food and beverage items, walking you through the place with the right level of detail and even made my restaurant reservations for me like a concierge. The location is 2 mini blocks off the main square yet tranquil as can be. And the bed is the most comfortable of my 5 weeks in Italy thus far! I love Lecce, this place and this host! Can’t wait to return.

5-star accommodation. Large apartment, well exposed, very well equipped, and in a quiet neighborhood. While being close to the beach, and small shops. Bike, BBQ and Jacuzzi available. Complimentary coffee pods and bottle of red wine. A view of the sea and the breathtaking sunset. We would have stayed there for a few more days. I recommend it 1000%.
