Distilia Dwelling

In the heart of San Cesario di Lecce, a few steps from the majestic Palazzo Ducale, stands Dimora Distilia: an ancient bourgeois building that combines the charm of eighteenth-century architecture with the elegant details of the '800 embellished with beautiful contemporary design elements. The original façade, perfectly preserved, is harmoniously integrated with modern comforts thanks to a careful renovation by the team of architects from Studio XX03 in Andria. An internal courtyard introduces the eight apartments, characterized by decorated grit floors and frescoed vaulted ceilings, where the large Empire-style living room, preserving the elegant period furnishings, has been meticulously restored. All the apartments, embellished with signature design elements, dialogue harmoniously with the lush garden, designed by landscape architect Roberto De Giorgi, where greenery is enhanced by ornamental plants typical of historic gardens. The infinity pool, set in an ancient citrus grove, and a wooden platform that houses the Jacuzzi with waterfall, complete this exclusive space, creating a refined and timeless atmosphere. The original white steel staircase, recalling the tradition of Salento illuminations, fluidly connects the garden to the solarium on the terrace and the solar slab, which houses two residential units with elegant mullioned windows with two lights overlooking the internal courtyard, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Completing the property is a spa in the semi-basement, which enriches the experiential journey with a touch of luxury and tranquility. Dimora Distilia represents a unique opportunity for investors looking for a prestigious property, ideal both as an exclusive residence and as luxury accommodation. With its historic charm, timeless architecture and modern amenities, the building offers high potential for enhancement in real estate and tourism.
