Carefully renovated in 2012, the house preserves the original architectural elements intact, such as the elegant star and barrel vaults, evidence of craftsmanship, and the grit floors that give the rooms an old-world charm, maintaining the beauty of the era intact.
On the ground floor, the entrance leads into a sequence of four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom to ensure maximum privacy and comfort, as well as a small, convenient and well-organized laundry room. All rooms are air-conditioned, offering coolness in summer and a comfortable climate in winter, a detail that makes the house pleasant and livable all year round. On the first floor, accessible by a covered internal staircase, there are two large terraces, ideal for enjoying the peace and light of Salento, and an additional bedroom, also complete with private bathroom. On this level there is also a fully equipped mini apartment, consisting of an entrance hall, kitchenette with fireplace that adds a touch of warmth and tradition, a spacious living area that combines dining room and living room, a bedroom with private bathroom, and a convenient storage room with bathroom located on a mezzanine floor.

The house has been renovated with all modern connections, already connected to the water and sewerage network, and is suitable both as an elegant private residence and as a small accommodation facility, perfect for those who want to start a B&B business in one of the most authentic areas of Salento. The organization of the spaces and the private services for each room make it ideal for hosting tourists looking for tranquility and tradition.
