History, Light And Open Spaces

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.
