Just to second other reviews, this is truly a hidden gem. Agnese’s place is a very calm and private country house with a huge garden, swimming pool, parking space and all the facilities and equipment necessary. Agnese and her sister’s hospitality was top notch; responsive, kind and hands on. They really went the extra mile.
Muro Leccese is a little sleepy town compared to the city where we came from, but listening to the trees in the garden that swayed in the wind was something I had never had time for before coming here!
We could have stayed in a big city close by such as Lecce for urban activities but wouldn’t have had this luxury with nature otherwise. Plus, it’s within a 25min drive to Alimini beaches in Otranto where we enjoyed crystal clear water after all. We also had a good drive on a country road to visit Alberobello, the UNESCO world heritage site.
My daughter loved the swimming pool and ate some garden tomatoes which she usually refuses at home. There’s something cute and magical in this place. We would love to stay here again in the future.
