In the immediate vicinity of Lecce, near the university campus on the road leading to the wonderful beaches of the Ionian coast, this 700sqm detached villa is arranged over two levels and is surrounded by approximately 1 hectares of field. The main body of the property dates back to the 19th century, but originally it was a masseria. Thanks to some extensions built during the years, it has been turned into a noble countryside villa. Two entrance avenues lead to the dwelling, which is arranged over two levels. The ground floor has been totally restored taking care of the original features of the structure, such as the local star-vaulted ceilings. The first floor is in good condition, but it needs some restyling. The ground floor houses a big drawing room, a spacious kitchen and seven suites, each of them characterized by an independent entrance, private bathroom and air conditioning system installed. Two internal staircases in a big entrance hall leads to the upper floor, characterized by star-vaulted ceilings. The ground floor comprises a big star-vaulted drawing room with frescoes and original flooring, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, a kitchenette, a terrace and four balconies. Outside, 1 hectares of field characterized by a well-kept garden, citrus groves, an orchard, and several trees and plants. The property is complemented by a well, with the possibility to create a swimming pool. An interesting property, ideal to be a tourist accommodation, given its structure and location.
