6 bedrooms villa, 600 m²

Galatina, Lecce (province)

Salento

Immersed in a park of over 2 hectares, this dream home is the result of a careful and long restoration of a 19th-century villa where the taste of the owners and the skill of the architect have given even more charm to so much beauty
The property, enhanced by a large infinity pool, is located in the municipality of Galatina, just 15 minutes from the sea and from Lecce

The spaces, both internal and external, are truly generous and the distribution of spaces is carefully considered even in the furniture (partially included)
in the sale)

Access to the property is via an elegant automated wrought iron gate set between two important pillars and surrounded by a characteristic dry stone wall, the long tree-lined avenue leads to the main entrance, we find 6 other entrances distributed on the ground floor, this allows to conveniently disengage the rooms allowing, if necessary, to divide the property into several autonomous units

The villa offers: three large and comfortable living rooms, with different living area and dining area, all embellished with barrel vaults, star vaults, arches, a large billiards convertible into a comfortable table for 22 people, a library and a beautiful view of the pool and the garden; a wonderful kitchen with an island connected by a large sliding door to the dining area
Always on the ground floor we find a double bedroom, with bathroom and independent exit to the garden, a second charming bathroom.
On the first floor, the large master bedroom with bathroom complete with shower and services; other 3 bedrooms with internal bathroom access around a central living room equipped with a TV lounge.
We therefore count 5 large and bright bedrooms and 6 beautiful bathrooms

The infinity pool has a depth that starts from 1m to finish on the opposite side at 2 m; distributed around various relaxation areas: the circular gazebo, the covered veranda in carparo equipped with a nice table and the solarium area with umbrellas and deckchairs. We also find an external bathroom and two external showers. Last but not least, a unique feature that makes the estate singular is the presence of an inestimable archaeological treasure,

One of the most interesting features, indeed unique, is the presence in the Estate of the ancient church of “Santa Maria della Porta”, where it is said that “From there passed the holy fisherman Peter while crossing Salento on his journey to the place of his martyrdom” (see google).
A nice curiosity: a video by the well-known Salento group “Apres la classe” was filmed in this location (from youtube the song Apres la classe el presidente) where the external spaces, the pool and the crypt of Santa Maria are visible.
