Dimora Storica Muratore

Where to start? From the first couple of interactions with Milena, I knew our stay here would be special. Before arriving I asked if she could recommend a nice restaurant for dinner for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary and she suggested we enjoy one of their experiences which is a traditional flavors of Puglia served in their private garden. I’m so glad we chose this as the way to celebrate our anniversary. It was beautiful, unique, delicious and very special. Oh and they were very generous portions. The attention to every detail and their warm reception added to the experience. We met the entire family and we felt welcomed by all of them. We also decided to take part in their cooking class the next day. It was also a beautiful experience. Maria Gracia was a great teacher and so patient with us. The father checked in and the mother and brothers joined in making orrechietti which really added to the personalized experience. Breakfast was prepared every day by Stefani, who was also very attentive to our needs. The room was very comfortable with air conditioning, private bathroom, private patio where we enjoyed our breakfast every day and located right in the historic center. Milena was there every day to provide recommendations and answer any questions. She also helped reserve our parking just behind the house. By the end of our 3 night stay we felt like we were part of their family. We hope to return in the future with our daughters. Grazie Mille!

What a perfect place full of love. They love what they do and are so generous with everything- their knowledge, their time, their quality It’s just inexplicably special and excellent in every possible way. A family affair, with members of staff who are absolutely thought of as family. It is the epitome of all things Southern Italy. Don’t miss a stay here. Not only will your holiday be better, these gorgeous people will touch your lives. The rooms are beautiful, stylishly updated. The pool is very charming and a sun trap. They will love your business and won’t take it for granted.

Dimora Storica Muratore is a very special ‘home’. A private historical villa, owned by the Muratore family, who rents out four individually and stunningly decorated ensuite rooms / suites all situated on the ground floor with vaulted ceilings, each with a private area from where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast. The villa stands within its own private beautiful walled garden. Its’s location is fantastic. The main gated entrance gives direct access to the heart of historic Lecce ‘within’ the city walls and from a very discreet ‘rear’ entrance you are immediately outside the city walls and immediately across the street from organised paid parking with whom the Villa has an arrangement for guests. Not only was the villa fantastic but the hospitality we were shown was lovely. We felt very privileged to have stayed there and hope to be back one day. Thank you.
