Via Robertini, Galatina, Apulia 73013

GALATINA - LECCE - SALENTO In the heart of the historic center of Galatina, among the alleys rich in history and architecture, we offer for sale one of the oldest and most prestigious buildings in the historic center of the city, namely Palazzo Robertini . It extends for a total surface area of approx. 1200 sqm and it is arranged on two levels, ground floor and first floor. The first body of this prestigious historic residence, whose charm has remained intact over time, dates back to 1400 and in 1680 the rococ ornaments were added. In 1700 the last member of the Robertini family moved the entrance door from its original position to the small square in front of the Palace, in order to to facilitate the entry of the large carriages of the time; on the same occasion, the palace was enriched with a beautiful balcony where the faces of the most important historical figures of Galatina are imprinted. Together with the many elegant windows featuring elaborate stone frames, this balcony is certainly one of the most valuable architectural elements of the Palace and decorates the large entrance hall which, on the ground floor, is the entrance to the property; from here an imposing stone staircase leads to the heart of the property, which is an apartment of approx. 540 sqm consisting of large and elegant rooms which prove its noble origins. All rooms are embellished with valuable historical elements such as the beautiful ancient floors, the imposing high ceilings with magnificent star and pavilion vaults, the elegant frescoed walls and the original cieli appesi of the time. The property also has a typical wood-burning kitchen and, on the same floor, a large terrace of approx. 175 sqm from which it is possible to enjoy the view of the entire historic center of Galatina. On the ground floor the property develops further for a total area of approx. 650 sqm and it is completed by the private roof terrace of approx. 350 sqm located on the second floor. Being in the heart of the historic center, the property lends itself well to being used both as a prestigious private residence and as an important luxury accommodation facility. In fact, Galatina, located a few kilometers from the sea, is certainly one of the most popular towns in Salento thanks to its baroque architecture, squares, shops and many clubs and restaurants. It is also 25 km from Lecce, 30 km from Gallipoli and 70 km from Brindisi airport.
