Relax. We’ve thought of everything. For the week courses, you´ll stay in our elegant Lecce Bed and Breakfast, easily one of the most charming, beautiful and centrally-located B and B’s in all of Italy. This is on us, and is included in your tuition. (Sorry, for day courses, this service in not included in our quoted price). The B and B is just a 5-minute walk from The Awaiting Table Italian Cooking School, in the beautiful historic centre of Lecce. It's where we'd like to stay if we were visiting the city of Lecce.
Awake each morning to the rich, baroque tones of Lecce’s bell tower. Stay within steps of the city’s duomo, main piazza, world-class shopping and Gracious Antonio’s espresso bar, our rendezvous point each morning (and easily the best espresso in the entire south of Italy.)
Furnished with elegant, Old World antiques but New World amenities, the spacious and immaculately-kept palazzo dates from the 16th century, when it was lovingly constructed for the city’s nobility. This Lecce B&B far exceeds most B&Bs: each room has private bathes, elegant linens, vaulted ceilings and access to the spacious, roof-top garden, with some of the best views in the entire city.
Elena, the young and eager owner (pictured at lower right), will be there to meet your every need, offering optional laundry or additional services.

And just across the street from your B and B is Gracious Antonio and his tiny little bar, ready with your morning espresso and fresh baked pastry. He’s likely to be the sweetest man you’ll ever meet.

Santa Croce (top), is just a two-minute walk from your B and B, and one of the most famous and beloved buildings in all of Italy. Never heard of it? We don’t understand it either.
