Description
Located in the heart of the oldest part of the city of Galatina, just 300 meters from the city center, is now available for sale a prestigious dwelling with the typical features of a Salento farmhouse.
The central body, with typical star vaults, is the most ancient part of this beautiful home and it dates back to 1800s; it was originally built in the center of the farmhouse called “Li Pappi”, once located outside the city walls. In the 1950s th property was completely renovated and also expanded. Once you step inside, you are welcomed by a well-kept green garden as well as by colourful majolica tiles on the arched wall, which prove the existence of an old ceramics factory which was incoporated, in the mid-1980s, into the property.
The current size of this prestigious property, rich in history and tradition, is approximately 500 sqm.
The house consists of a large and bright living area, a large dining room, a kitchen and 7 large bedrooms each with en suite bathroom.
The property has a luxuriant garden of about 1000 sqm with swimming pool and solarium area. Evidence of the past can also be found in the garden, like the ancient underground oil mill which dates back to 1500 and most likely, as an ancient story passed down from father to son tells, connected with an underground tunnel still existing to the nearby Basilica of Santa Caterina Novella.
Living in this prestigious historic residence means breathing in the Salento tradition and being the custodians of a property of inestimable value.
The property is currently run as a B&B, therefore it meets the needs not only of those looking for a private residence but also of those who want to invest in the hospitality sector.
The property is just a few meters from the beautiful historic center of Galatina, located a few kilometers from the sea. Galatina certainly is one of the most popular towns in Salento, thanks to its baroque architecture, squares, shops and many clubs and restaurants.
It is 25 km from Lecce, 30 km from Gallipoli and 70 km from Brindisi airport.
