BORGAGNE (MELENDUGNO) - LECCE - SALENTO
Borgagne is a small hamlet of Melendugno, which is part of the association "Authentic Villages of Italy", rich in history and inhabited in the past by Basilian monks.
In front of the Petraroli Castle, built in 1497 to defend the town, we are delighted to offer for sale a prestigious building of approx. 200 sqm dating back to 1800, completely renovated and arranged on two levels.
The property is characterized by fine finishes and architectural elements typical of Salento buildings. In fact, the renovation project combined a modern style with the respect for the original architectural peculiarities of the ancient residence.
On the ground floor, of about 110 sqm, we are welcomed into an elegant open living room, followed by a hallway that leads to a large-size double bedroom, a dining room with open kitchen and one bathroom. The kitchen has access to a private garden of 80 sqm embellished with lush citrus trees.
From the ground floor, a modern staircase in wood and aluminum that blends well with the context leads to the first floor of 95 sqm, where there are two double bedrooms, a additional dining room with open kitchen and two bathrooms. One of the two bedroomshas access to a lovely terrace of approx. 30 sqm.
The star vaults with the exposed Lecce stone, the floors decorated with typical cement tiles and the large outdoor spaces are certainly the added value of this prestigious property, located in a strategic position with respect to the sea and the main places of historical and cultural interest of Salento. In fact, the property is currently used as a B&B, but it certainly lends itself well to being used as a private residence.
The property is just 5 km from the Torre S. Andrea marina, 6 km from Torre dell'Orso, 15 km from Otranto, 23 km from Lecce and 55 km from Gallipoli. It is also 80 km from Brindisi Airport.
