10 bedrooms palace, 1000 m²

Guagnano, Lecce (province)

Salento

First Lion offers for sale, in the authentic heart of the historic center of Guagnano, the historic Palazzo Mucci, a majestic 17th-century marquisal palace that still dominates the ancient village with imposing and intact charm.
Overlooking several streets in the center and with a double entrance from Via Umberto I and Via Sigillo, a short walk from Piazza Maria SS. del Rosario, the palace tells centuries of aristocratic history. The main facade is characterized by a monumental portal surmounted by an elegant balcony that housed the noble coat of arms of the Mucci family, a symbol of a prestigious past. The side balconies harmoniously complete the building's architecture.
A garden leads to a refined classic-style patio with Doric columns framing the scenic double-ramp Baroque staircase, the true architectural heart of the residence. The ground floor rooms develop into large, versatile, and bright spaces, currently divided into several rooms with services, ideal for hospitality, cultural, or entrepreneurial activities. From here, access is also gained to the ancient cistern, a precious testament to the original structure.
Ascending, the noble floor expresses the most elegant soul of the palace with solemn rooms that preserve ceilings decorated with splendid tempera frescoes on paper. The star vaults further enhance the rooms, exalting their light and depth and creating a fascinating blend of art, history, and Salento identity.
Behind the staircase opens a large porticoed terrace with 16th-century references, offering a suggestive view of the Mother Church of Santa Maria Assunta, providing a space of great charm and representation.
Over time, the palace has been chosen as a setting for cultural initiatives and events related to the region's excellences, confirming itself as one of the most representative buildings in the ancient center of Guagnano.
This residence is not just a property, but an architectural heritage that offers the opportunity to live history or transform it into a prestigious project: a private residence, a charming boutique hotel, or an exclusive event location in the heart of Salento.
A place where time has left beauty and identity, ready to welcome a new grand vision.
