9 bedrooms historic house, 367 m² Ortelle, Lecce (province) Salento
Main Features
Description
In the picturesque village of Ortelle, just 3 km from the crystalline sea of Castro, this charming historical noble residence stands out for its architectural authenticity and for an extremely articulated and functional distribution of spaces. Skillfully renovated while respecting its original features, the property develops around an imposing central entrance hall with barrel vaulted ceilings in stone, a true connecting element between the different building bodies and the scenic heart of the entire residence.
The main body, of approximately 367 sq m, houses an elegant and private living area, comprising an entrance hall, a kitchen created within an ancient fireplace of great charm, a living room, a hall with a stone fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A typical Lecce stone staircase leads to the upper floor, where a third bedroom with bathroom and access to the private roof terrace are located, offering an open view of the garden and the historic center. The rooms are embellished with exposed stone barrel vaulted ceilings and refined frescoed groin vaults, elements that confer uniqueness and historical value to the entire residence.
In a more secluded position, but perfectly integrated into the context, further independent units develop with direct access from the garden: a studio apartment with bathroom and a three-room apartment consisting of two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. These spaces, characterized by star vaults and perfectly preserved original cement tile flooring, offer great flexibility of use, both for private hospitality and for hospitality activities.
Overlooking a large patio in Lecce stone of approximately 140 sq m, there are also four independent bedrooms with bathrooms, each with direct access and characterized by star and barrel vaults, in perfect continuity with the architectural language of the residence. This configuration, together with the presence of multiple independent entrances, makes the property particularly suitable for a structured hospitality use, while guaranteeing privacy and autonomy to guests.
Completing the property is a suggestive tavern of approximately 200 sq m, equipped with double access, one from the garden and one from the street. Here develops a large living room in exposed stone with star vaults, connected to further four vaulted rooms, ideal spaces to be reinterpreted as a wellness area, tasting area, event spaces or further living rooms.
Outside, the property is surrounded by a well-kept garden with ornamental plants and a production orchard, which leads to the pool area with solarium, creating a private and relaxing environment in perfect harmony with the Mediterranean landscape. A technical room of approximately 20 sq m is also available for the external spaces.
With a total configuration of approximately nine bedrooms, plus common areas and large ancillary rooms, the residence is suitable both as a prestigious private residence and as a charming hospitality structure already ready for use, with a high architectural quality and a strong potential for enhancement.
The strategic location, just a few minutes from Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme, 15 km from Maglie, 43 km from Lecce and approximately 90 km from Brindisi Airport, completes the profile of a rare property, capable of combining history, beauty and functionality in one of the most authentic contexts of Salento.
