Description

In the centre of the village of Arnesano, a few kilometres from Lecce, lies a small oasis of peace that combines historical charm with contemporary potential. This residence, preserved in time, overlooks the majestic Palazzo Marchesale, a symbol of Salento's rich artistic and cultural heritage. It is characterised by its star and barrel vaults, which, due to their construction and structural typology, are of great historical value, and by architectural details that enhance the brightness of the spaces thanks to the skilful play of light from the skylights. The spacious interiors, the artistic friezes in relief and the frescoed walls, which still adorn some rooms, tell us of the artistic past of this residence and preserve its timeless charm. The property is enriched by an ambitious renovation project designed to transform it into an exclusive residential residence. While respecting the historical nature of the property, it aims to further enhance its spaces and beauty, creating an environment that combines modern comforts and tradition. This house represents an opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Salento, immersed in a centuries-old history, with all the comforts of the present and the charm that only a residence of such value can offer.

Location: Arnesano, Apulia

Located in northern Salento, in a central position between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, and 8 km from Lecce, the municipality of Arnesano emerges as a place of geographical significance. The place name "Arnesano" originates from "Arna," whose meaning evokes concavity, a peculiar characteristic of the morphology of the territory. The municipality also embraces the town of Riesci, located 600 meters to the west. Belonging to the Lecce hinterland, it is geographically located in the "Valle della Cupa," a fascinating area known for its characteristics, often chosen by nobility as a place of residence or vacation. The territory of Arnesano boasts a history that sinks into ancient times, with the presence of a small urban settlement testified by the discovery of a late Neolithic burial site, dated 2400 BC, known as "Idoletto." After the Roman and Byzantine periods, Norman rule contributed significantly to the economic and demographic growth of the region. Notable monuments and places of interest include the Mother Church dedicated to Maria Santissima Assunta, the Bernardini Nursery Chapel, and the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, dating from 1676. Among the civil architecture, the Marchesale Palace and the Guarini Palace, commissioned by the nobleman Selvaggio Guarini, are worth mentioning. The surrounding countryside, with its farms, retains the centuries-old charm that has accompanied them since ancient times, offering a vast wealth of landscape that testifies to the history and intrinsic beauty of this location in northern Salento.
