Description
For Sale, an exclusive residence of approximately 272 sqm, situated within an 18th-century historic Palazzo of acknowledged architectural and cultural significance. The property has been entirely and expertly restored, preserving original frescoes, stuccoes, and painted boiseries, and occupies the second and third (top) floors, crowned by a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, the historic town square with its ancient bell tower, and the renowned Convent of the Poor Clares, a landmark in Termini Imerese since the 1700s.
Nestled in the heart of the historic noble quarter, Palazzo Gallegra stands along the former aristocratic axis of the city, officially listed by the Metropolitan City of Palermo as a protected heritage building of 18th-century origin.
Its history is intertwined with the noble families of Sicily and Bourbon Spain: local records attest to the alliance between the House of Gallegra and the Spanish de Vega lineage, a legacy still reflected in historical street naming and family titles.
This Palazzo does not simply tell a story—it embodies a legacy of culture, refinement, and aristocratic continuity.
The residence offered occupies the second and top floors, including a terrace with open and evocative views. A meticulous restoration—executed by master craftsmen—has preserved the building’s original charm with a level of care akin to museum conservation.
The noble entrance, featuring the original wooden portal and the historic carriage passage, leads to the grand internal staircase. Upon entering the residence, a custom-designed cherrywood door (as with all interior doors) opens into a spacious marble-clad vestibule, where an elegant Rosa dei Venti inlaid at the center serves as the symbolic orientation point of the home.
From here, one enters the magnificent double reception hall, adorned with marble flooring and balconies facing one of the most atmospheric historic squares of the town.
The semi-vaulted ceilings preserve the original frescoes, brought back to life through precise restoration using natural earth pigments, exactly as in the 18th century.
The walls retain the painted boiserie framing the architectural rhythm of the salons and doorways.
To the left, a large contemporary living room opens, featuring a wooden beamed ceiling, creating a warm and welcoming environment. It is connected to the eat-in kitchen, which also benefits from an independent corridor access for functionality and privacy.
The night area extends to the right wing of the salon, offering three bedrooms, one of which retains refined original floral frescoes in soft tones of rose and sage green.
This level also includes two bathrooms (one with hydromassage tub) and an elegant library room entirely finished in wood and parquet.
A graceful internal staircase leads to the upper floor, conceived as an independent private suite, ideal as an atelier, guest quarter, or personal study, with direct access to the panoramic terrace.
