Description
We offer for sale: In the authentic heart of lower Salento, where stone alleys tell the story of centuries of life and time seems to slow down, stands a historic 18th-century residence that represents one of Italy's finest examples of charming residences. A rare place, where the soul of the region is expressed in its most authentic form, through architecture, light, and nature. Crossing its door means entering a suspended world of secret courtyards, lush gardens, and fragrant citrus groves, where every detail preserves the memory of the past. This residence is not just a home, but a Mediterranean retreat of extraordinary authenticity, capable of offering a living and hospitality experience of the highest quality, attributable to the most refined expressions of Italy's historical heritage. The interiors retain the original charm of 18th-century Salento architecture, harmoniously intertwined with expertly integrated modern comforts. On the ground floor are five double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, each designed as an intimate and elegant space. An exclusive suite, consisting of a master bedroom and a connecting living room with two additional beds, welcomes families or guests with balance and functionality. The eat-in kitchen, with a traditional Salento masonry kitchenette, invites conviviality, while the bright and refined living room is the heart of the home, ideal for moments of relaxation and sharing. The interiors open naturally to patios and gardens, creating a seamless continuity between architecture and landscape. Outside, the private pool nestles discreetly among three manicured gardens and areas dedicated to al fresco dining, offering views of absolute beauty and tranquility. On the first floor, a sixth bedroom opens onto a large panoramic terrace offering evocative views of the village, gardens, and surrounding landscape. A space suspended in time, ideal for contemplating Mediterranean sunsets and immersing yourself in the authentic silence of Salento. The location is invaluable: Spongano retains the identity of a historic Southern Italian village, with its small squares, artisan workshops, and slow pace, yet is just minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Castro, Otranto, Torre dell'Orso, and San Foca. A perfect balance of sea, culture, and tranquility, this residence is a prime destination for conscious and quality tourism. Equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and solar panels, the property guarantees contemporary comfort and a focus on sustainability, confirming its commitment to excellence. Already established as a vacation rental with demonstrable profitability, it represents a solid and prestigious investment, but also the ideal choice for those seeking to live in a charming residence recognized as one of Italy's finest examples of historic living.
