Description
Live in a 16th-century palace in the heart of Salento, just a few steps from one of the most beautiful squares in Apulia.
In the historic center of Muro Leccese, only 100 meters from the stunning Piazza del Popolo, we offer for sale a 77 sqm historic residence, unique in its kind, located in a prestigious 16th-century noble palace and currently used as a B&B.
“Le Dimore di Hanqorias” takes its name from the Messapic language: Hanqorias was the ancient name of Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love. An evocative reference that perfectly reflects the elegant and enchanting character of the property.
The entrance opens onto a spectacular living area with a large antique fireplace, the true heart of the house, enhanced by an integrated kitchenette. The living area is completed by a cozy sitting room and a bathroom.
A charming mezzanine, built with 17th-century wooden beams from the Church of Santa Irene and carefully restored, adds depth and character to the rooms.
The property also includes a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, designed to ensure comfort and privacy.
The building, the subject of a careful conservative restoration, preserves intact the architectural elements typical of the Salento tradition: rounded arches, barrel vaults, exposed Lecce stone, and natural stone details.
Each space tells centuries of history, perfectly harmonized with contemporary comfort. The rooms, expertly restored with meticulous attention to detail, are comfortable and refined, perfectly complemented by full-round arches, barrel vaults, roofs with characteristic exposed Lecce stone, and natural stone finishes in the bathrooms: Albanese and Palladian.
The property overlooks a green little square, framed by the Prince’s Palace with its moat, the semi-underground Protonobilissimo oil mill, the Church of San Giuseppe, and the ancient Borgo Terra.
A highly charming solution, ideal as a private boutique residence or as a valuable investment or B&B in the authentic heart of Salento.
Property equipped with high energy-efficiency systems.
Muro Leccese is 30 km from Lecce, 13 km from Otranto, and 75 km from Brindisi Airport.
