Friendly, professional, and fair!!!!!!!! Lecce and its vicinity is beautiful and well worth discovering by bike. And the bike MUST be rented at Velo Service, because it gives you chance to meet Sonia, who assists you in choosing the right bike, who is not only committed to her job, and loves it, but also - if you are as distracted (speaking plainly - stupid) as I was, and forget your wallet - she calls you "it seems you forgot something". This was the best experience during my whole trip. Thank you!

Today I had the pleasure of Stefano, who took us to two different wineries. It was a super experience. Stefano was a really good guide who drove us back and forth. Stefano was able to answer everything we asked. In addition, he was very service minded, smiling and spoke good English. Can only be recommended! :-)

After a few steps you will reach the castle of quadrangular form, probably Norman edification, has undergone changes already under Frederick II who converted it into Domus and then, later, occupied by the Aragonese. The tour continues with the external visit of Palazzo della Bella, designed on the model of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, a neo-Gothic current.

The path that leads to the mountain, about 40 minutes, is characterized by a first phase on a steep slope and certainly not easy, until arriving in a flat area where the abbey was built. The abbey of S.S. Trinity is of Gothic construction, was built around the year one thousand and abandoned in the fifteenth century. A long phase of degradation followed, which brought the structure into a state of ruin but which still hides a remarkable charm.
