Description

Historic Noble Residence in the Heart of Salento
First lion offers for sale a Historic Noble Residence from the 18th century in the Heart of Salento
Facing the historic main square of a characteristic village in northern Salento, a few kilometers from Lecce, stands a majestic 18th-century noble residence, an extraordinary example of architecture and style of the time. The palace was built in 1795 by Count of Lemos, Dr. Consalvo De Castro, belonging to an ancient and noble Spanish family, a direct descendant of the viceroys of Naples.
The facade, simple and linear, is embellished by five large windows on the main floor, surmounted by alternating tympanums that confer rhythm and elegance, and by an imposing entrance portal on the ground floor which, once crossed, leads to a large atrium paved with living stone, with elegant arches and period architectural details, dominated by the main staircase, at the center of which stands the family coat of arms: five towers arranged in an X. From here you enter a world suspended in time. The 19th-century doors, decorated in gold leaf, open inwards with original keys and locks, while the frescoes on the walls accompany sumptuous ceilings ornately decorated.
The residence, distributed over three levels with a covered area of over 1,000 sq m, has on the ground floor a small room, formerly used for the custodian of the historic structure. The main floor, the quintessential noble residence, extends over approximately 540 sq m, welcoming you into a sumptuous frescoed entrance hall, which leads to a noble reception room with a finely decorated fireplace, to seven bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, characterized by original cocciopesto flooring, fine stucco ceilings with decorative putti and other elements of testimony.
The main floor is completed by a refined reception room, ideal for welcoming guests in a context of authentic elegance, and a characteristic “economic” kitchen from the period, perfectly preserved, made of masonry with original cast iron ovens. This kitchen is in turn connected to a large breakfast room, perfect for convivial moments, and a dining room flooded with natural light from the splendid panoramic terrace, overlooking both squares of the village.
From the same terrace you can access a secondary private property, recently renovated in a modern key, designed to offer further comfort and independence. This space consists of a welcoming entrance, kitchen with dining area, living room, bedroom with walk-in closet and a functional bathroom.
Behind this modern apartment, a second terrace connects directly to the rooms of the historic residence and will host a future infinity pool, which will add an extra touch of exclusivity. From here you can enjoy firsthand the beating heart of the village life, but also the panorama that allows you to observe the splendid and majestic church of San Nicola.
The property also includes a wing on the second floor of approximately 100 sq m not yet restored, which represents a further space with great potential, to be used as suites, wellness area or private residence. The presence of solar panels and a modern glass elevator make the residence even more functional, connecting all levels and ensuring accessibility.
Currently used as a high-end bed & breakfast, this residence represents an extraordinary opportunity for those who wish to continue a prestigious reception activity already started, with the possibility of extension towards charming catering or, alternatively, for those who dream of living or investing in an authentic historic residence immersed in the timeless charm of Salento, a few kilometers from both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts.
