Through an ancient gate, at the end of an evocative tree-lined avenue flanked by tall pines, the villa comes into view, built in the typical architectural style of the early 1900s.
The residence, entirely arranged on a single level and distinguished by refined symmetry in its forms, welcomes guests with a front patio that shelters the main entrance.
Inside, the same harmonious layout guides the spaces: three rooms face the main side and three the rear. The entrance leads to a large central living room, from which there is side access to two bedrooms and, at the back, to the dining room. On either side of the latter are a third bedroom and the kitchen.
The rear part of the villa recalls the typical structure of a masseria, with several building sections arranged on two levels, including a garage and a storage room.
The property preserves numerous original features of great value, including perfectly preserved period cement tiles, striking star-vaulted ceilings, and original wooden window and door frames.
The villa is surrounded by a large wooded plot of over 7,000 sq m, fully fenced, offering the possibility of building an additional structure to be used as a guesthouse.
From a structural standpoint the property is in excellent condition; part of the systems has been updated over the years, provision for connection to the sewer network is in place, while the heating system requires replacement.
A conservative restoration will allow the residence to be returned to its original splendor, fully enhancing its historic and architectural character.
Arriving in Galatone from the road coming from Gallipoli, just before entering the historic center, you take an avenue lined with period villas.
In just a few minutes we discover the town of Gallipoli, stroll through the Baroque-art streets of Nardò, dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian coast and reach the cliffs plunging into the sea at the Cape.
Galatone is not only beauty and culture but also an enogastronomic tradition celebrated by some of the most loved restaurants in the whole province.
A relaxed lifestyle offering culture, art, sea and countryside... a place easy to find but hard to leave.
The history of Galatone is very ancient, with traces dating back to the Paleolithic era, known today for its late-Renaissance and Baroque churches, its “courtyard” buildings and its 19th-century palaces.
The city’s original defensive function—attested by the Castle of Fulcignano and the monumental San Sebastian Gate—stems from its strategic position and easy accessibility from across the entire peninsula.
