Among the ancient streets of Grecìa Salentina, we offer for sale “Palazzo Corina“, an eighteenth-century testimony of the history of the culture of the city of Martano.
Once we pass the large door that dominates the facade, we are greeted by an atrium, which allows us to choose whether to enter the house, or whether to move to the outside spaces.
The rooms of the building, which are arranged almost entirely on the ground floor, are the clear demonstration of the skill of the Salento workers. It manifests itself in the floors with particular workings, but above all in the ceilings with various types of vaults, decorated with suggestive rose windows and frescoes.
The rooms are organized by an entrance, which separates the living area from the sleeping area. The first consists of a living room, a lounge, a dining room, a large kitchen with pantry, a study and a bathroom. The second includes four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Furthermore, on the first floor, at the level of the terrace, we find a further room, again with a corner vault. The whole is completed by a rumpus room carved into the rock, which could be used as a relaxation or recreational area.
Externally, the property is divided into two courtyards: one in front, which is encountered as soon as you enter the property, and one behind, which is reached after passing through a characteristic archway with a wrought iron gate. Beyond the backyard a lush garden welcomes us, full of fruit trees and decorative plants.
These spaces allow you to fully enjoy the mild climate of Salento, and to make it a residence suitable for all periods of the year. “Palazzo Corina”, in addition to lending itself optimally to a private residence, has all the characteristics to be used as an accommodation facility, as it is a fragment of the past set in today’s reality, a secluded place, but in the heart of a small town which offers multiple services. Martano, one of the symbolic cities of ancient Greek culture still handed down in this part of Salento, is located in a strategic point, just 24 km from the city of Lecce and 20 km from the beautiful coasts of Otranto and Torre dell’Orso.
