In the heart of Specchia Gallone, a charming town full of historic buildings, which evoke the beautiful Salento architecture, “Palazzo Paradiso” is for sale, an ancient baronial residence from the 1800s, brought back entirely to the height of its charm.
Located a few kilometers from the renowned seaside resorts of Otranto, Santa Cesare Terme and Castro, the building is currently used as an accommodation facility.
Subject of a careful conservative renovation, internally it has 10 rooms all with private bathroom, arranged partly on the ground floor, where we find mainly vaulted ceilings (corner), and partly on the first floor, with hipped ceilings.
Once through the front door, there is a large entrance hall, which is overlooked by the entrances of two rooms, the large glass door that gives onto the garden, and the stone arch of the stairwell.
Beyond the latter, we find a third bedroom, a bathroom, a secondary exit, and the majestic staircase with wrought iron railings, which leads to the first floor.

A balcony / corridor allows access to the three sections that make up the first floor, namely the kitchen, a room that serves as a hallway for three rooms, and the terrace-balcony that allows access to the remaining three rooms.
The kitchen, consisting of several rooms all communicating with each other, as well as a large and functional custom-made hob, has the particularity of an ancient fireplace room, the latter still functioning, and an original well still in use.
The level terrace looks like a space with a square plan to comfortably eat outdoors, and then shrinks into a balcony with an ancient stone railing.
The structure is completed by its outdoor area, a land of about 2000 square meters, where a large “chianche” courtyard, a typical Salento stone paving, leads to the relaxation area, dominated by a swimming pool where you can find refreshment on hot days summer.
A suggestive colonnade crosses the luxuriant garden characterized by the orchard, and the well-kept vegetable garden.
Finally, a last room overlooks the courtyard, very unique for its sloping wooden roof, covered with original period tiles.
The entire building, the subject of a careful and accurate renovation in 2016, perfectly respects the classic canons of ancient Salento architecture, which are reflected in a refined decor that is perfectly integrated into the context.
All of this did not prevent it from providing the structure with the convenience of connecting to public utilities, a heating-cooling system, the positioning of solar panels and the creation of an excellent wi-fi system.
The charm and completeness of Palazzo Paradiso make it possible to offer this property both to those who want to continue the hospitality business, and to those who want to make it an exclusive personal home.
