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! :).

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.

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 !
