Description

Just steps from Lecce Cathedral, along a remarkably peaceful street in the heart of the historic centre, this elegant residence combines architectural charm, abundant natural light and generous outdoor spaces, with convenient parking nearby.

The beautiful façade reflects Lecce’s rich heritage, while the entrance opens onto a magnificent star-vaulted hall, where an exquisite stone frieze attributed to the renowned Lecce architect Mauro Manieri immediately captures the eye. This remarkable architectural detail, referenced in several publications dedicated to Lecce’s historic palazzi, offers a fascinating connection to the city’s artistic and architectural past. An impressive stone staircase leads to the first floor, where soaring ceilings, traditional star and barrel vaults, decorative stonework and wooden flooring enhance the beautifully furnished interiors.

On the "piano nobile", a bright reception area opens onto a charming small terrace, adorned with ornate stone frames and a decorative pediment, creating an almost fairytale atmosphere. The open-plan living and dining areas offer welcoming spaces, complemented by a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a study that could easily become a second bedroom with minor alterations. The distinctive kitchen connects to a practical storage and pantry area, alongside a second bathroom with microcement flooring.

A few steps lead to the spacious rooftop terrace, offering captivating views across Lecce’s rooftops towards the Cathedral bell tower. A wonderful setting to enjoy the sunshine by day and the stars by night!

Two additional rooms offer versatile possibilities, including the potential for another bedroom and bathroom, subject to the necessary approvals. A second, more intimate terrace provides privacy and a covered area ideal for laundry facilities. On the ground floor, the privately owned entrance hall includes a convenient storage room, perfect for bicycles and other belongings. A separate, smaller ground-floor apartment, with its own entrance from the hall, is also currently available for sale.

A charming historic residence where timeless architecture, beautiful natural light and inviting terraces capture the authentic spirit of Lecce.

Location: Lecce, Apulia

Between baroque cathedrals, farmhouses, castles, towers on the pristine sea, Apulia is an ancient land, crossed by centuries of history and art that have left unmistakable marks. It is here that Lecce is located, in the deepest and most rural South, marked by slow rhythms, influenced by Magna Graecia and Byzantine rule, in the heart of Salento rich in enchanting villages and breathtaking landscapes. Lecce, the "queen of the baroque," is a captivating city, one of the most enchanting in Southern Italy. Walking through the alleys of the city of Lecce, everything is enveloped in a dazzling light thanks to the blue of the endless sky and the golden color of the Lecce Stone which, due to its malleability, has allowed the history of the Baroque to be written. Here, where art is everywhere, among churches and noble palaces that fascinate with unexpected scenographies, where the golden color of the stone soothes and leads to almost meditative paths, no one can leave Lecce without admiring Piazza Duomo at night. It must be done, period. You will understand why. Founded as Messapian in Roman times, it was called Lupiae. In medieval times, the city's fate was linked to the Norman dynasty, but it was during Spanish rule that Lecce inaugurated its period of greatest splendor. Immersed in the lace of light stone and baroque churches, the portals and the ancient elegance of the palaces, here where everything is harmonious, the Baroque reaches its apotheosis in the splendid Basilica of Santa Croce which, together with the Convent of the Celestines, represents one of the major architectural complexes. A city that tells stories, culture, traditions linked to ancient customs, and a simple and genuine cuisine, with typical dishes to fall in love with. Just 30 minutes from Brindisi airport and a few kilometers south of the Itria Valley, Lecce is located almost midway between the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea, reachable in a few minutes.
