20 bedrooms villa, 31400 m²

Zollino, Lecce (province)

Salento

The First Lion Agency is pleased to exclusively offer for sale a historic villa with great authentic charm.
The property, built before 1967, dates back to the late 19th century and retains the charm of that era.
Starting from a graceful series of round arches, lintels that act as frames carved into the fascinating Lecce stone.
Numerous features adorn the building, giving it uniqueness: vaulted ceilings with star and barrel vaults on the ground floor; while on the first floor there are ceilings with steel beams.
Furthermore, the noble coat of arms of the Bozzi - Colonna family is still present inside the small church set into the ground floor of the villa.

With a covered area of almost 500 sq m and 31,388 sq m of land, the property has numerous rooms, some of which are particularly specific, such as the palmento used in the past for pressing grapes, where the must was stored which, by fermenting, would then become wine of its own production.
In the front part, in fact, there was a large vineyard; while in the back part, there is a citrus grove, where there are still fruit trees, lemon trees, orange trees, and mandarin trees.
Within the property, there is a unique feature, which is the private church, frescoed and endowed with an ancient purity.
The proposed solution is ideally suited for recreating a luxury structure, a true oasis of peace located a short distance from the city of Lecce and in a strategic position for reaching the white beaches of Salento such as: Porto Cesareo, Torre Lapillo, Gallipoli, etc.
Considering the large outdoor area, there is the possibility of creating equipped areas, designed for relaxation where the surrounding nature provides a perfect setting!
