HISTORIC RESIDENCE WITH VOLTE A STELLA AND GARDEN VIEWS — APPROX. 270 MQ

On the ground floor of Palazzo Sambiasi, with private access through the door at the far left of the monumental androne — beside the gateway to the former stables — unfolds a generous unit of approximately 270 mq overall, composed of three consecutive volumes (78, 65 and 71,50 mq) served by a covered entrance atrium and circulation areas for a further 55 mq.

Architectural value: every room is enhanced by volte a stella in pietra leccese, a testament to sixteenth-century Salento architecture, with full-centre arches, decorated capitals, period flooring and ceiling heights reaching up to 4 meters at the keystone.

Flexible layout: the three volumes follow one another along an evocative corridor overlooking the palazzo’s historic garden, serving both as a distribution spine and a contemplative space. Each volume has an independent entrance from the corridor, while the first also benefits from direct access from the covered entrance atrium: a configuration that allows the property to be lived as one grand residence or preserved as autonomous spaces.

Privileged outlook: all rooms open onto the panoramic corridor surveying the internal garden, with its fruit trees — lemons, mandarins, bay — ensuring privacy, quiet and natural light in the heart of the historic center.

Versatile use: this unique configuration makes the property ideal as a substantial ground-floor residence with garden views, as a boutique hospitality venue with independent units, or as prestigious professional premises, just a few steps from the Duomo di Lecce.

The stated price includes the millesimal shares pertaining to the palazzo’s common areas (monumental androne, atrium, loggiato and circulation spaces).

Volte a Stella, Arches and Capitals in Pietra Leccese

Every room of the residence is embellished with volte a stella in pietra leccese, a testament to sixteenth-century Salento architecture. Full-centre arches, decorated capitals and period flooring succeed one another in spaces with ceiling heights reaching up to 4 meters at the keystone, creating atmospheres of rare allure where the palazzo’s history is palpable in every detail.

A Privileged Outlook

The Panoramic Corridor Overlooking the Historic Garden

The residence’s three consecutive volumes open onto an evocative covered corridor looking out over the palazzo’s internal garden, with its ancient lemon and mandarin trees and the grand bay. This space, at once a distribution element and a place for contemplation, guarantees privacy, quiet and natural light: a surprising oasis of calm in the heart of Lecce’s historic center.

Versatility and Potential

One Grand Residence or Three Independent Units

The private entrance from the monumental androne leads, through a covered atrium, to the residence’s three consecutive volumes. Each has an independent access onto the external corridor, while the first also enjoys a further direct entrance from the atrium: a configuration that allows the property to be lived as a single grand ground-floor home or maintained as autonomous units — ideal as a private residence, a boutique hospitality venture or prestigious professional premises.
