This finely restored 18th-century palazzetto is for sale, nestled within a small courtyard where its intimate beauty subtly reveals itself.
Located in the municipality of Spongano, right in the town center and just a few meters from the Mother Church of San Giorgio, it lies in the inland area of Lower Salento — a region rich in unspoiled natural beauty, with centuries-old olive trees, dry-stone walls, traditional “pajare,” and ancient farmhouses shaping its landscape. A few kilometers away, you reach the enchanting Adriatic Sea, where the stunning town of Castro — a rocky gem of Salento — hosts the famous Zinzulusa Cave, which can be visited by boat. Spongano is also close to other wonderful destinations such as Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca (the southernmost tip of Salento), and the splendid baroque city of Lecce.
The palazzetto is spread over two floors with a total of 14 rooms.
Ground Floor: • Entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms with hallway, and three fireplaces, all featuring the traditional star and barrel vault ceilings.
First Floor: • Accessible via two staircases: one from the garden and one from the main entrance in the courtyard. • Comprising a living room and kitchen opening onto a charming terrace at the same level, shaded with traditional cane coverings, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms with antechambers.
• From the terrace, a staircase leads to the rooftop, where photovoltaic panels are installed and where you can admire a characteristic panoramic view.
Additional Features: • From the main courtyard, two large cellars are accessible, ideal for transforming into a rich wine cellar or other uses.
• A beautiful internal garden decorated with small trees, plants, and rustic furnishings, fully embracing the charming rural style. • A staircase leads to a small terrace overlooking the rear garden and the swimming pool. • The rear garden features a well-maintained lawn, ornamental plants, and various flowering climbers such as vibrant bougainvillea that color the perimeter. • There is also a storage space equipped with tables, chairs, and other garden essentials. • A stunning and imposing swimming pool offers the perfect spot to cool off, relax, and fully enjoy the Salento lifestyle.
Every part of the property has been meticulously renovated, using traditional materials and colors to faithfully respect the palazzo’s historical essence.
