Workation in Lecce: the essentials
Honey-coloured limestone is everywhere in Lecce, soft enough to be carved into the extravagant facades that earned the city the nickname Florence of the South. About 94,000 people live here, the University of Salento keeps bars and cafes full during term, and the Basilica of Santa Croce and a Roman amphitheatre sit within a walkable centre. The city lies inland: the Adriatic at San Cataldo is about 12 km away, the Ionian at Porto Cesareo about 25 km, and Otranto and Gallipoli about 35 km. Brindisi Airport is about 40 km north. Public transport around the Salento is thin, so beach days are easier with a car, and summers are very hot.

Lecce has a small coworking offer in and around the old town, used by local freelancers and increasingly by remote workers from the north. Prices are cheap for Italy and internet in the city is good. Summer is hot and crowded, and many work from air-conditioned cafés.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
