Description
A true architectural gem located in the heart of Lecce. This impressive property is located in one of Lecce’s most vibrant and strategic areas overlooking an avenue currently undergoing urban transformation into an elegant ‘pedestrian garden’.
This impressive property dates to 1888 and boasts intact mosaic tile floor, stunning high vaulted ceilings and bright and spacious rooms throughout. Its magnificent façades, an approximately 1.500 sq. m. living area, an 850 sq. m. garden and a 400 sq. m. cellar make this an extraordinary example of elegance and history. Built in Lecce stone, it features a majestic green portal with a lion-head knocker leading to a grand entrance with vaulted ceilings and decorative niches, and a spacious reception hall that can accommodate up to six cars, with direct access to the side gardens.
The palazzo includes 4 independent flats. The ground floor flats, decorated with mosaic tile floors, overlook the front and back gardens. A marble staircase leads to the two aristocratic flats, one of which was once the residence of the famous composer Pasquale Chillino and boasts a decorated salon with fine mosaic floors.
The old coach house has been converted into a modern garage, while the basement, carved out of the original quarry, has been adapted as a relaxation and entertainment area, maintaining the rustic aesthetics of Lecce stone.
The main garden, with magnolias and bougainvillea, provides privacy and an enchanting atmosphere.
In addition to its artistic history linked to the composer Chillino, the palazzo was selected in 2023 to host a contemporary art exhibition organised by the FAI, confirming its cultural role in the town of Lecce.
This noble palace is bound by the Superintendence of Fine Arts and represents an investment opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs in the real estate sector.
A viewing is highly recommended to discover the extraordinary beauty and potential of this unique property.
