Description
Charming historic building in the heart of Grecìa Salentina – ideal for an exclusive boutique hotel / hospitality business
In the exclusive historic center of Castrignano de’ Greci, the heart of Grecìa Salentina and ancient Magna Graecia, we offer for sale a portion of a prestigious historic building: a former tobacco factory dating back to the 1960s–70s, testifying to a productive past deeply rooted in the area.
The property, with a total surface area of approximately 700 sqm (approx. 7,535 sq ft), is in excellent condition and retains its original charm intact. The elegance of exposed Lecce stone (pietra leccese), refined architectural details, and striking star-vaulted ceilings (volte a stella) supported by solid masonry pillars make this property an authentic example of traditional Salento construction. Consolidation works have already been completed inside the building; therefore, no structural interventions are required.
The structure is spread across three levels:
- Ground floor (approx. 400 sqm): Features majestic, imposing vaulted ceilings embellished with historic friezes.
- First floor (approx. 200 sqm): Ready to be customized and highlighted by a dramatic staircase that reveals stone vaults crafted from red Gallipoli carparo stone.
- Basement level (approx. 100 sqm): Features vaulted spaces.
A architectural proposal is already available that fully maximizes the property's potential, designed to create a high-end hospitality retreat comprising:
- 5 suites (2 on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor)
- 1 maxi suite on the ground floor
- Lounge areas dedicated to work and connectivity, along with a breakfast and dining area
- Atmospheric vaulted cellar in the basement, perfect for food and wine tasting experiences or an additional wellness/SPA area
- Landscaped garden with a project for a 20x8 m swimming pool, sunbathing deck, and service amenities—designed to offer guests an exceptional stay
- Panoramic terraces (approx. 200 sqm) offering breathtaking views of the Mother Church bell tower
- Elevator connecting all levels
