PALAZZO LECCESE - MASSERIA MOSCA - MURO LECCESE
5 Bedrooms
Location and Surrounding Area
Located in one of the most sought-after areas of Southern Apulia, just a few kilometres from the coast, this exceptional five-bedroom masseria is ideally situated to offer complete relaxation and privacy to its guests, providing an opulent escape for those wishing to explore this exclusive region. Famous for its whitewashed towns, excellent cuisine, dramatic coastal cliffs, and beautiful beaches, this area of Southern Apulia offers all the ingredients for the perfect vacation.
The villa is just a stone’s throw from Otranto, a natural bridge between the Mediterranean and the East, and a charming location where the ancient atmosphere of the historic centre blends seamlessly with a vibrant nightlife. In less than forty minutes by car, you can easily reach Gallipoli, meaning “beautiful city,” where you can explore the narrow, paved streets of the historic centre and catch occasional glimpses of the sea, or stop at the fish market to mingle with the locals.
Santa Maria di Leuca boasts one of the largest and most fascinating tourist ports in Salento, with 760 mooring places accommodating boats up to 40 metres long. The coast, bordered by Punta Ristola and Punta Meliso, alternates between cliffs and beaches, featuring the characteristic stone “bagnarole.” In Leuca, you will also find captivating marine caves accessible by boat; the marine life and crystal-clear waters make them perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving.
Porto Cesareo is situated on a prestigious stretch of the Ionian coast, offering a long expanse of golden beach and sparkling clean seas. This popular seaside resort features an impressive 17 km of sandy shore facing an archipelago of low-lying islands that form a protected bay. The calm, clear waters are ideal for swimming. Porto Cesareo is also home to a nature reserve, a marine protected area rich in flora and fauna, including rare species. Underwater excursions reveal unique coral formations, turtles, seahorses, and other marine life.
The city of Gallipoli, Greek for Beautiful City, is a gem in the blue waters of the Ionian Sea. Its port has established it as a maritime town for centuries, and it still maintains an active fishing trade. Historically a trade port with connections to the Orient, the town's decorations and features reflect this heritage. The elegant old centre hints at its once significant past. The beaches are renowned throughout Italy for their cleanliness, adorned with colourful rows of umbrellas and vibrant seafront bars and restaurants during the summer.
