Lecce, Lecce (province)

Salento

LECCE - HISTORIC CENTRE
Located in the heart of the old town of Lecce, entire building dating back to the end of the XVI century now available for sale.
It is spread on two floors and it consists of three apartments in need of renovation works.
The property is located only a few steps away from the Cathedral of Lecce; in fact, it is possible to enjoy its fantastic view right from the entrance door of this beautiful Palace.
The entrance to the property is from Via Luigi Scarambone n°2; a large covered entrance hall welcomes us and it can be easily used as parking space for two cars.
As we go through it, we find a beautiful staircase that leads to apartment located on the mezzanone floor consisting of 5 rooms and a small uncovered outdoor area, as well as a light well.
Going upstairs, you reach the apartment located on the first floor; it has a double entrance and it consists of 13 large rooms, mostly with star vaulted ceiling, and many of them have balconies.
From this apartment, through an external staircase, it is possible to reach the roof terrace where there are currently two canopies of about 20sqm.
The property includes another apartment located on the ground floor that can be accessed in an independent way from Via Luigi Scarambone n°6 and 8; it consists of 5 rooms and two outdoor areas at the back side. Thanks to the presence of the two entrances, this apartment can be easily divided into two independent residential units.
At house number 4 there is a storage room of about 30sqm.
The property has been subjected to renovation works concerning the refurbishment of the roof in order to secure the stability of the building; however a total renovation of the entire property is necessary.
Due to its wide extension and the position in which it is located, the building lends itself well to be used as accomodation, boutique hotel, "albergo diffuso" (a type of hotel with a central reception and various rooms located in buildings which are scattered around the town) or even as rest home for the elderly; in fact, despite being placed in the historic center, it is located in an easy-to-reach position; in fatc, it is very close to an area full of facilities, not subjected to limited auto traffic, and near the Bus Terminal area of the city.
Considering the particular historic value of the building, both the purchase and the renovation process can take advantage of the funds granted by "Titolo II", a financial non-repayable instrument made available from Regione Puglia for the refurbishment of historic properties.
Lecce is a few kilometres away from the most beautiful beaches in Salento: just 10 km from the nearest sea, about 40 km from Gallipoli and Otranto, 35 km from Brindisi Airport and 150 km from Bari Airport.
