Description
It was known as the Palace of the "Secondborn" because the cadet family of feudal lords lived there.
The construction of the building lasted over time until it took on its present conformation, typical of the Neapolitan school of the 1700s, with a large entrance hall followed by a courtyard with a grand staircase for access to the gallery and the upper floor.
The property for sale represents an ideal choice for those seeking:
- a property for sale in the historic center of Grottaglie;
- an ancient and charming property;
- a building to be put to income with tourist leases (b&b/holiday home) or a property ida use as a prestigious private home.
The main and two side elevations are Baroque in style, with fine rose windows, stone balconies and an important entrance portal.
The palace, nestled among the ancient alleys and the warm light of Apulian stone, retains all the charm of its ancient splendor. In fact, in the renovation, the original floors, the interior wooden doors with their impressive carved frames and the marvelous 18th-century windows have been preserved.
An elegant main door surmounted by a characteristic apotropaic mask (it was used to keep evil spirits away from the house) leads to the large entrance hall on the ground floor, overlooked by several rooms, some of which have further independent access from the street, embellished by the typical star vaults expertly preserved.
At the end of the hallway a magnificent courtyard encloses the grand staircase leading to the first-floor apartment.
The second floor or piano nobile preserves the historic layout of the building and is divided into a sequence of rooms, large and bright, almost all interconnected, culminating in the marvelous central hall, characterized by a large star vault, supported by half-columns and flanked by two small cross vaults.
Most of the rooms on the main floor have magnificent Baroque doors, decorated with large, imposing cornices. The windows of the reception rooms, located on the street front of the palace, also have large windows that echo the door decorations.
Also on the first floor is a gallery that overlooks the courtyard and leads on one side to a small storage room once used as a dovecote and on the other to the staircase leading to the terrace that offers a striking view of the entire historic center.
The property can be used both as a prestigious private residence and as an accommodation facility.
The central location makes it possible to reach the main places of interest in the city's historic center on foot and in very few minutes.
