Mura


A light and bright property that offers the best of both worlds: restaurants and bars on the doorstep and the sea just a ten-minute drive away


---Temporary pictures---

The bold new lines of this glorious townhouse sensitively bridge the gap between modern design and the house’s ancient setting in the centro storico of Muro Leccese, an authentic Puglian town close to the Adriatic.

The house’s arches and exterior zigzag staircase, warm stone walls and suntrap roof terraces don’t stray far from the town’s 16th century architecture. Guests are drawn in through a large white arch to the house, the pool and the delightful garden beyond, all created using local materials and talent.

The house sleeps ten in five bedrooms. The large, light rooms are painted white and decorated with original art from the owners’ private collection. Likewise, the furniture is a careful edit of designer and vintage pieces, light in mood and comfortable, too. The garden is wonderful and includes a large, shaded dining terrace, an outdoor kitchen, a long rectangular pool and a profusion of plants, trees and shrubs with views of the old town. It is a picture of everything you’d hope to find.

This is the perfect place to stay with friends or extended family. There are restaurants, cafes and bars just a short stroll away and the soft sand beaches of the Adriatic are ten minutes by car.

For bigger groups, including wedding parties and other celebrations, there are two sister properties also in Muro Leccese - Murole and Licce– each with their own pool. The three properties together can accommodate up to 40 guests. 

Rooms description


Bedrooms

The five bedrooms are a mixture of twins and doubles. White walls allow the fabulous art collection, which is displayed throughout the house, to take centre stage, and guests have their own balconies and terraces.

Bathrooms

There are five bathrooms, again, simple in design but with high-spec fixtures and fittings.

Kitchen

The fully equipped kitchen has an art gallery feel to it with its open shelves displaying an eclectic mix of art works and alternating black and red chairs round the wooden table. The tiled chequerboard surface on the built-in cupboards brings even more cheer to this large, light room. There is also an outdoor kitchen.

Living rooms

The house has a wonderful mix of space, light and comfort. The living space mixes modern and more traditional furniture and lighting with more of the owners’ art collection creating somewhere that’s equally lovely when shared or enjoyed on your own with a book.

Outside

The garden, like the house, has been conceived with an artist’s eye and reveals itself bit by bit. The long pool 15 X 2,5 mt, is almost an extension of the house and its modernism is softened by the mature trees that include citrus and palms. The outdoor kitchen sits next to a wooden dining table that is shaded from the sun and there is also a lounge area under a veranda. Lawn and paving stones make for barefoot loveliness and the views through the greenery to the traditional architecture of the old town are delightful.

Notes

This property is one of three sister properties, the other two being Licce and Murole, which, if rented all together, can accommodate up to 40 guests. Licce and Murole are separate but next to each other and can be accessed through their gardens.

Supermarkets are a 15-minute walk away and coastal Otranto is the same time by car. Admire the beautiful baroque buildings in the centro storico of Maglie (4km) and Lecce, otherwise known as the Florence of the South, is a must.

Your villa and Covid-19


To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

  • To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
  • To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
  • To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
  • For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
  • For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
