Overview
Ideally located on one of the oldest streets of the enchanting town of Ostuni, in the heart of Italy’s “heel”, Casa Mura occupies a remarkable 18th-century building. This unique holiday home encompasses two buildings, with a suspended room gracefully bridging the gap between the facades.
Casa Mura is a comfortable yet elegant flat boasting two bedrooms across two levels and two terraces offering breathtaking coastline views. With a maximum occupancy of six guests, this residence exudes character and charm.
The flat is arranged across two levels, with the entrance leading to a living room studio located within the arch connecting the historic buildings on either side. This area boasts two panoramic windows overlooking the picturesque alley and a comfortable sofa bed for additional sleeping arrangements. The arch serves as a transitional space, connecting the entrance to the bedroom with an accompanying bathroom.
On the upper level, guests will find a spacious double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a double-sided fireplace, adding a touch of warmth and ambiance. The generous living room is adorned with cosy sofas, while the well-appointed kitchen features a skylight that fills the space with natural light throughout the day. Adjacent to the kitchen is a charming and airy dining room, creating the perfect setting for shared meals and memorable moments. From this level, guests can access two terraces with sensational views boasting comfortable armchairs, a sofa, sunshades, and a charming round wrought-iron table.
Casa Mura enjoys a prime location in the heart of Ostuni, nestled in Puglia, a southern region forming the heel of Italy’s “boot”. Several places are nearby for essentials, and the historic and alluring towns of Carovigno and Fasano are just a few kilometres away. The shimmering sea is easily accessible within a short distance, and Brindisi airport is conveniently located only 25 minutes away.
