Palais 8 chambres, 800 m²

Ugento, Lecce (province)

Salento

The 16th Century building, located in the historic centre of Ugento, an ancient town of Messapic origins with important archaeological findings on display in its municipal museum, is located in Ionic Salento just 5 kilometres from the sea. It has a 'U shaped' architectural structure typical of the period when it was constructed. The property requires work for the electrical system, which is fitted across two floors; on the ground floor, the garden and a big archway with six round barrel-vaulted arches (three on each side) lead to the six master bedrooms, of which one has a fireplace, with star vaults and exposed capitals. The property has two main entrances facing each other: one on Via Roma and the other in the private garden on Via Messapica.
The entrance on the second floor leads to the majestic ceremonial hall (50m2), which splits off into three large bedrooms with star vaults on the right, and on the left, four bedrooms of equal dimensions with high star vaults, capitals and a loft that reaches approximately 40m2.
The building has around 430m2 of floor space and 380m2 of garden and open courtyard; in total there are 13 stairways plus an attic on two floors.
The building is owned by only one person.
