We loved our stay here
The property was absolutely stunning, the staff was very friendly and responsive, and the meals they made for us were incredible. The host, was very responsive and was able to accommodate last minute requests from our group. The town is small, but beautiful and the restaurant in town Nonna Rosa had upscale dining which was delicious and a 5 minute walk from the villa. The town felt very safe and friendly, and the bar/cafe in the town center had everything you could want, including the local pastry pasticiotto. The local salumeria was run but the kindest couple who were so helpful, welcoming, and patient despite us not speaking much Italian. This is close to Lecce and Brindisi, which made travel very easy and driving through town and fining parking was easy.

Our family loved our stay at this spacious, well maintained hom
The grounds and pool area are magnificent. The kitchen is well stocked if you enjoy cooking. We really enjoyed eating in the outside area. Check in was a breeze with Priscilla's welcoming staff. The walk to the town square takes minutes. My husband and I enjoy a morning run and the lovely roads were safe and scenic. In addition to all that, this home is centrally located and convenient for a daytrip to the beach. And lastly, delicious food and city adventures are a short walk or drive away. We cant wait to return to this dream home.

What a stunning Palace
The photos do not show just how beautiful and spacious it is. Our hosts and everyone that works at Palazzo Mosa to make the stay enjoyable couldn’t have done more. Every morning Nico had worked his magic tiding up the pool and gardens. Maria Antonietta was so helpful recommending a masseuse and cooked the most delicious special meal for our final night.
We were a party of seven ladies from various countries meeting to celebrate my 40th. This worked perfectly, I’ll be returning for a family get together in the future. Have never stayed in such a perfect villa. -
This Villa is incredible, absolutely stunning where ever you turn
The detail is impeccable, so elegant and inviting. We were treated to an amazing dinner experience with the chef Maria, was simply delicious. Felt so spoilt, can’t thank Priscilla and the team enough. The little township and piazza stunning. Otranto also wonderful. Best holiday experience.

The villa is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy with family
The villa is stylish, ancient and modern. It sits just off of a square with two baroque churches, a palace and a cafe. In the evening, local residents gather on benches and eat gelato from the cafe. (As did we a few evenings.) The villa itself has large grounds enclosed by stone walls. There are a number of orange and lemon trees. Flowers are in bloom on the walls and all over the yards. Grape vines grow along the arbor path to the 25 meter swimming pool which has a dozen chaise lounges and two table seating areas. The villa has endless great outdoor spaces and a dining table that could fit 20 under a pergola. The rooms are grand with high arched ceilings. The bathrooms are clean and updated. The kitchen is large and updated. There is also a modern indoor dining area with French doors. Great art throughout. Pasta making class was so much fun. The hosts made everything easy and were a delight.
