About this villa rental
The masseria is located in the very center of the lovely town of Muro Leccese and just a stone’s throw from the beautiful sea of Otranto.
The property, which dates back to the sixteenth century, is located in a gorgeous square in the historical centre of the town and opens out onto a large and private garden.
The house, which is built over two levels, can accommodate up to 14 guests and consists of 4 double bedrooms, 2 bedrooms with 3 single beds. The house includes 6 bathrooms.
The property boasts a lovely outdoor area including a beautiful swimming pool. The property houses a dining table under a pergola where guests can enjoy al fresco dining. There is also a relax area where you can enjoy aperitifs and drinks surrounded by fichi d'India and green.
Two additional rooms with ensuite bathrooms anc be given in the attic that includes a terrace, kitchen and one additional bathroom are available in a separate apartment in the same property and may be added for larger groups (NOTE: extra fee required).
Another palazzo with swimming pool is owned by same owners next door. Together they can sleep up to 30 people.
Muro Leccese is one of the finest towns south of Lecce, never too crowded but also never too empty (in the winter). Very safe. The sea of Otranto, just 10 minutes away, is one of the most beautiful in Italy. In Otranto there is a private beach with shaded area and a small restaurant which we normally suggest. Otherwise, there are many places that you can discover if you are more on the adventurous side.
The house is in a beautiful square which is almost "private" (our house takes the entire square front), and is 100 m. from the main square. In the vicinity you will find excellent sweets and cakes and some fine restaurants, really affordable.
The palazzo is beautifully furnished in a very cool Italian shabby chic style that I have come to associate with the very best design in this part of Puglia. There is something to find pleasure in everywhere you look, for example, interesting modern paintings, simple clean lines, an ancient stone bath, a l'oeil de boeuf window, a Romeo and Juliette balcony you can stand on overlooking the street, a view of orange groves from a window, a shady roof terrace and somewhere to sit out under the stars with your friends and put the world to rights. It is a perfect combination of ancient delights and modern comforts such as wi-fi, an icemaker and very comfortable beds.

This property is beautifully designed inside and out, comfortable, has an incredible friendly staff, and is perfect for families or large groups. It would be hard to not enjoy yourself here!
Our group of 10 stayed for a full week in October. They provided breakfast every morning (additional fee) which made our days incredibly easy. We requested 3 dinners at the property (by their on site chef) that turned out to be a higher quality than any restaurant. I’d highly suggest doing the same, it was magical.
In summary, couldn’t get better.

This villa is so amazing, words can hardly describe the detail of restoration and decor! We loved our stay...walking to the cafe for espresso and gelato in the evening. The guide book awesome with all great suggestions of where to visit, best beaches and restaurants in the nearby towns and areas. Then the pièce de résistance...the house help made us the best dinner of our two weeks in Italy. Do that! :).

A fantastic place to stay
We enjoyed a lot our stay at this amazing house. The house is simply stunning and we felt very comfortable with a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff is very kind and friendly.
The design of the house takes care of every detail with beauty. In addition the kitchen is incredibly equipped with everything you may need to cook if you want to.
We had also a special celebration during our stay and the team was able to arrange a perfect celebration where we enjoyed the tasting local food and wine. No doubt we strongly recommend everyone to visit this place and visit also Muro Leccese and its charming centre.

It was just like the pictures
The property is lovely, spacious, and charming. We were hampered because we spoke no Italian and Luigi the housekeeper spoke no English, but thankfully google translate saved the day. Luigi was super helpful and available. Priscilla the property manager responded promptly when we had issues that required an English speaker. You definitely need a car to stay here. We had thought we could hire taxis and that proved a challenge.

Stunning Property
This is an absolutely beautiful property. The property is vast and the detail meticulous. We had the pleasure of meeting the Owner Alessandro who was just as charming as the property itself. He sources all the fixtures, furniture and art work and he has a fine eye for detail. The local village is very friendly as were the staff who cared for the villa. We will definitely be staying here again . Just fabulous !

Elegance, simplicity, tradition, design, courtesy
My wife and I spent two weeks in this beautiful and comfortable house. For four days 8 friends joined us. We all enjoy the wonderful flow, the privacy of each room (beautiful suites), the marvel of the architecture, the comfort of the common areas and the kindness of the owner and care takers. Lovely located in a traditional clean and charming village, equidistant from Otranto coast or Gallipoli coast. Ideal for discovering Puglia. To be repeated and recommended!

Simply perfect
We rented the masseria last summer to host our families and friends for our wedding in Puglia. We stayed two weeks in both houses and were amazed by their beauty and simple elegance. They're perfectly designed and curated, have and have beautiful furniture throughout.
The gardens are much bigger than you think and the overall feeling is one of living away from the world in a magical place surrounded by your friends where stress simply does not exist.
The overall capacity is huge for about everything: rooms, kitchen, dining and common areas. We spent two weeks with at one point thirty people and never felt a lack of space.
I can't recommend the masseria nor Alessandro enough, our trip would not have been possible without his constant help and support in the months of planning it took us.
I look forward to going back, for many, many years to come.

spring in Muro leccese
The house is beautiful, extremely unique, elegant, comfortable, very well equipped and fun. We stayed there in spring last year and it was marvelous.
The children enjoyed the pool and we spend an extraordinary holiday. The owners were very kind and their hospitality incredibly warm. Great Masseria!

Luxury and relax taken to the next level.
The house is truly a great work of architecture and art. It captures perfectly everything that one would expect from a holiday in Italy. The choice of furniture and all the small details complement flawlessly with the beautiful secluded garden. I went with my husband and 6 other friends and it was the perfect accommodation. Large enough to allow you moments of privacy but cozy enough to share wonderful meals in the garden or a swim in the beautiful swimming pool. Something else that we all appreciated is that from the outside the house is very simple but once you open the door it feels as though you have entered paradise. The garden is extremely well-kept, the pool is luxurious, the rooms are stunningly decorated and the bathrooms are large and modern. Spent hours reading and relaxing in the garden and then strolling through the acquaint streets and having coffee or an aperitif in the beautiful town square. The house is also close to all the lovely beaches and the magnificent cities of Otranto and Lecce. I would highly recommend this house since it offered us a one of a kind vacation.
