This ancient country villa, partly built in the 18th century, preserves the characteristic historic features of rural Salento architecture, including star and barrel vaults, a tuff-stone-walled garden, internal courtyards, and an entrance with a staircase and columns supporting a veranda. It is in a strategic location and can be easily reached from Brindisi Airport in under an hour and from Lecce or Leuca in half an hour.
The villa extends over three levels: the slightly elevated ground floor, with spacious, bright rooms featuring star vaults; the first floor, with a beautiful terrace surrounding the sleeping quarters; and semi-underground cellars with natural light and perfectly preserved barrel vaults.
This structure demonstrates the quality of the original construction, which, despite not having been renovated over the years, has retained its original elegance.
The property also includes an ancient chapel with its original altar and a votive shrine dating back to the garden’s initial construction.
The villa has been cleaned and structurally secured by the current owners in preparation for a complete renovation.
The property is currently being sold in its existing condition.

The property is also surrounded by more than two hectares of land, with the possibility of purchasing additional agricultural areas with structures suitable for conversion into annexes.
