GALATINA - LECCE - SALENTOIn one of the most known streets of the historic centre, the suggestive Via Lillo, in the immediate vicinity of Piazza San Pietro and the prestigious Basilica of Santa Caterina di Alessandria, we are pleased to exclusively offer the sale of a historic building of rare beauty, the majestic Palazzo Andriani De Vito. This finely restored residence extends over an area of approximately 400 m2 and offers an extraordinary fusion of elegance, history and modern comfort. After crossing the main door, you enter an imposing entrance hall of generous dimensions, characterized by exposed carparo vaults that evoke the historical atmosphere of Galatina. On the same level, an annex houses a spacious living area with barrel vaults and fireplace, kitchenette, bathroom and, on the upper floor, two bedrooms with independent entrances. The original Lecce stone staircase leads to the main part of the property, which opens onto a magnificent area with countless destinations, offering access both to the bright dining area with Lecce stone fireplace, followed by the Vietri ceramic brick kitchenette, and to the sumptuous living room with double exposure and fireplace with historic features. A double bedroom with adjoining walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, complete with freestanding bathtub and shower, together with two further bedrooms, one with a private bathroom, complete the main floor. The flat roof, which offers an enchanting view of Galatina, is equipped with an additional storage room, and a lovely hanging garden, partially paved in wood, adds a touch of charm and nature to the context. The residence has been the subject of a refined renovation which has restored all its magnificence: the typical star, barrel and pavilion vaults, decorated with period frescoes, have been brought back to their maximum splendor thanks to the intervention of expert restorers. The antiqued Venetian wrought flooring is embellished with wonderful central rosettes which add a touch of elegance. The windows, all made of wood, are equipped with double glazing and mosquito nets, ensuring comfort and functionality. On the pavement, the building is equipped with a photovoltaic system while in the entrance hall there is a car charging station. The property includes two commercial premises adjacent to the ground floor: one completely renovated and characterized by a single space with mezzanine and bathroom; the other, to be restored, is composed of two large rooms with high star vaults and a bathroom. Galatina is 20 km from Lecce, only 18 km from Gallipoli, 20 km from Santa Maria al Bagno, 25 km from Otranto, 50 km from Brindisi Airport and 190 km from Bari Airport.
