Apulia, Lecce, San Cesario di Lecce, Italy

Coldwell Banker is delighted to offer for sale a prestigious 19th-century historic residence that still preserves the charm and authenticity of Salento’s architectural tradition.
The property is set in an authentic environment and enjoys a strategic location near Lecce.
The 18th-century façade, with its refined and harmonious character, captivates the eye with perfect balance: two sculpted gargoyles watch over the square in front, while delicate acanthus leaves adorn the wrought-iron balconies, silent witnesses to an era of splendour.
The courtyard at the entrance of the palace leads us inside this charming residence, immediately revealing its unique character.
This palazzo, of great historical and architectural value in the heart of Salento, has been completely renovated and now operates as a tourist accommodation facility, featuring eight independent units of different sizes, each with its own unique style.
The elegant interiors boast decorated grit floors, true works of art, and extraordinary frescoes that embellish the star-shaped vaults and walls, telling stories of elegance and beauty.
A careful restoration, carried out by renowned architects, has enhanced the original structure and its historical identity. Every space and every period detail has been expertly restored, as demonstrated by the large Empire-style hall.
The private garden, approximately 200 sqm, forms part of an ancient citrus grove and represents the heart of this beautiful residence. At its centre lies an infinity-edge pool, perfectly integrated into the tranquillity and greenery of the garden. A wooden deck hosts the whirlpool and an ornamental waterfall, creating a corner of pure relaxation where time flows slowly, amidst the scent of citrus and the warm golden hues of Lecce stone.
A light, white staircase connects the garden to the large panoramic terraces and the two apartments on the first floor, while, in the basement, a refined spa has been designed to offer an exclusive wellness experience. Under the characteristic star vaults in Lecce stone, a whirlpool, sauna, Turkish bath, and sensory shower alternate, creating a path of absolute relaxation and comfort.
The property aims to offer authentic experiences in a noble and historical setting in the heart of Salento, combining luxury hospitality with a residence/short-stay concept. It features 8 independent apartments with a spa and exclusive spaces. A turnkey, fully operational asset with a very attractive ROI, strong marketing expansion potential, and experiential services. It is suitable for retail investors and hospitality operators looking to develop boutique hotels or charming hotel collections.
The financial indicators, ROI and the steadily growing EBITDA, make this property an attractive investment opportunity for investors focused on quality, long-term value preservation, and stable returns.
