Historic, elegant palace with a courtyard in central Maglie

A city of workshops, cabinetmakers and woodcarvers, Maglie’s importance in past centuries is also evident in the beauty of the historic palazzi once owned by ancient noble families, with courtyards, gardens and elegant reception rooms.

This property certainly embodies all these features. Its timeless charm has remained unchanged over the centuries. Located on one of the streets in the city centre, the family that still owns the palazzo originated here in Maglie. This family of entrepreneurs began undertaking important journeys as early as the 19th century, continuing in the early 20th century throughout Europe and also in India and America, to arrange vessels intended for the Italian market. Upon entering through the main door, one immediately realises that this is a very distinctive, historic and beautifully designed setting. On either side are two highly characteristic rooms, once used as workshops; beyond them are the garage and a large, well-positioned courtyard, ideal for restoring a garden and adding a swimming pool. A marble staircase with a cast-iron balustrade leads to the piano nobile, where a succession of reception rooms features vaulted ceilings and frescoes in delicate colours and motifs, leading to the yellow drawing room and then the red drawing room, named for the hues of their frescoes. Beautiful, authentic patterned cement tiles, balconies and terraces lead to the paved rooftop terrace, which offers far-reaching views. The property certainly requires renovation work, but overall its condition is good. It is ideal as a private residence, as well as for creating a splendid property intended for hospitality use. It is also important to note the possibility of purchasing property ref. W-04BUKC, valued at €200,000, located on the first floor and forming an integral part of the Palazzo.
