Travel times from Rome and beyond can be long. Night trains with sleeping couches are available, and often a better bet.
The trains arrive at Lecce station, 1km from the city center. Be aware that taxis anywhere can be expensive (expect to pay up to 15 euros to the center, especially if you have luggage items), so you may want to check with your hotel the public transportation options available.
The old town of Lecce is full of narrow streets which are barely suitable for driving. The City centre is small and easy to walk around.
