Ancient Masseria between Lecce and the sea

The Lamia is a typical Salento Masseria of imposing and rigorous architecture, whose origins are rooted in the 16th century. It is located in the province of Lecce, on the coast between San Cataldo and Frigole a stone's throw from the wonderful Cesine nature estate from which you can admire the beauty of the Adriatic Sea. The Masseria Lamia is developed according to the classic patterns of that period: a wonderful arched atrium from which one enters an orderly and evocative garden. On the right side of the garden we can find the Bread Factory Court overlooked by large rooms with vaulted ceilings and arches of Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, since that in 1714 invasions by the Ottomans were very common. To the left of the garden is a beautiful plot of land of about 13 hectares that surrounds the entire property. The entire ground-floor of the Masseria has been renovated with the idea of using it for events: the right side of the main building has three large rooms with bathrooms and kitchens, on the left two large rooms for reception, all with star-shaped ceilings. On the Bread Factory Court are three other large rooms with services overlooking it. A very old staircase leads to the second floor where we find 3 rooms to be renovated that directly overlook onto two large terraces of about 600 sqm. Lastly the terrace of about 120 sqm. From which you can admire the migratory flows for and from the Cesine. The Masseria has a beautiful plot of leccini olive trees that borders with a relaxing green pine forest. Masseria Lamia creates a current of emotions, tangible and unchanging, full of meaning and history.
