About this property

Masseria in a charming town with a pool and garden near Otranto

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.

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!

Cherif Z.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Priscilla Daroda

Host profile image
We are family of four and this is our main vacation house. Though the house is large, we like to have it all for ourselves when we are visiting. We live and work in Milan. We have other houses in this area both small and large. Please enquire if you are looking for something different. We might have what you are looking for.

Why they chose this property

We chose Muro because: it is safe, it is near Otranto (even in Salento there are differences between areas, in our view this area is the safest, more elegant, people are more friendly and the sea shore is world class). Besides, being slightly inland means that the place is fresher and drier at night in the summer, not too crowded also during spring and summer, but also not too empty in the winter. If you feel in need of shopping and visiting one of the most beautiful cities of Italy, Lecce is only 20 min. away.
We chose this property because it has a large garden that makes you feel like you are in the countryside while you are in the center of the town. After the renovation (which has taken 7 years) the place is now quite special: you will soon feel the atmosphere of the place!

What makes this property unique

The location of the house is perfect. We are not on the water but, just a 15 minutes drive from the beach of Otranto. The views of both the interiors and the exteriors will impress the most sophisticated traveler. You will fall in love with the kitchen, the garden and the nice patiot! Some of you will not want to ever leave the pool area. Others will stick to the white long chairs near the pool or to the garden with under a nice tree to read and relax.

We have tried to add all the possible ingredients for a vacation 'our style': hifi, wifi, several fireplaces, ice machine, al fresco dining, art collection, big bathrooms, floor heating, 20 m. swimming pool, 2 kitchens fully equipped, five meter dining table (made by an artist from Rome), laundry room, keyboard and microphone. It is a verey relaxing place and quiet, the square is just a 3 minutes walk and it has 2 beautiful baroc churches and an old Palazzo of the Prince of the 16th century and nice ipogeo. In the square that is better to visit at night with the nice lights it has a nice bar to taste local pastry and nice coffee with ice. The restaurant of the square serves the best fresh fish of Salento and so you don't need to travel far to find local food. The town has everything walking distance: supermarkets, pharmacy, banks, bakery and newstand. The people are very firendly and it is a safe surrounding also for children that can walk around the town without any problem. Modern and sleek bathrooms and two well equipped kitchens. Ideal for those who love space, art and elegance. We like to collect art and you will find pieces around the house and in the rooms that give a bit of flavor.
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.
