Eccomi qui. I m Daniela and I was born in Lecce. I have a Spanish name, descended from a noble family which came here in XVII century. Lecce became a famous city in the Kingdom of Naples, attracting many families, which is why many sumptuous dwellings with gardens and courtyards were built there. I’m a salentina woman interested in fashion, food, and travel. I love Salento, called the heel of Italy's boot and to show hidden villages, and fascinating views such as the Eastern coast of Salento. Initially it is low and sandy but the further South you go, it gradually becomes rocky and wild and rich in bays and caves. You can participate in some amusing activities: a papier maché lesson in a typical studio of Lecce. An artisan will teach you how to make our “pupi” (little statues) tasting of our local pastries called pasticciotto with caffè leccese, puccia and rustico are the specialties included in my food tour. I have a Diploma in Business Administration and Foreign Language and Degree in cultural heritage 24 years of experience working independently as a guide and event organizer in this area. Collaboration and coordination with the University of Salento as a guide and tourism expert. So I can organize tailor-made tours and experiences, focusing on the architecture and Salento lifestyle, with luxury vehicles too. My pleasure to make you enjoy the best and undiscovered highlights of this area. If my calendar is full, feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help you! I can arrange luxury transportation in a Mercedes with a professional driver. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.
