In the Heart of Salento: Historic Residence with Star-Vaulted Ceilings and Panoramic Terraces

Located in Martano, the pearl of the Grecìa Salentina, we offer for sale a prestigious and fully independent historic residence in the heart of the ancient town center.

A perfect blend of authentic Salento architecture and modern comfort, this property is ideal either as a representative private home or a charming boutique hospitality facility. Arranged across multiple levels, it offers spacious, light-filled rooms with fine architectural details, including exposed star-vaulted ceilings and an elegant fireplace in the main salon.

The welcome begins at the grand covered street entrance (13 sqm), a transition space leading into the main residence. The entire Ground Floor (145 sqm) unfolds into a sequence of generous, fluid spaces. Upon entering the living room, your eyes are immediately drawn upward to the monumental exposed-stone star vaults. The large fireplace serves as the heart of the living zone. Further along is a spacious kitchen with a dedicated dining area and a private bathroom. The two large bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, each served by its own dedicated bathroom. Outside, an elegant wooden porch (23 sqm) and a courtyard extend the living space outdoors.

A comfortable internal staircase leads up to the Mezzanine Floor (38 sqm), an intimate space ideal for a guest suite with a private bathroom and a multipurpose room. From here, you can step onto verandas (11 sqm) overlooking the estate.

Continuing upward, the First Floor (31 sqm) features an independent, versatile room with a private bathroom—perfect for a creative studio, artist’s atelier, or quiet reading nook. This level grants access to splendid panoramic terraces overlooking the rooftops of the historic town, ideal for outdoor dining or sunbathing.

Returning to the ground floor and descending into the lower level, the Basement (120 sqm) reveals remarkable versatility. Currently used as a hobby area, it is a cool, spacious environment well-suited for a wine cellar, lounge (taverna), or private wellness spa, supported by two dedicated bathrooms.

With a commercial surface area of 275 sqm, the property offers rare flexibility. Martano itself is the vibrant heart of Grecìa Salentina, rich in Byzantine heritage and Griko culture, just 15 to 20 minutes from the Adriatic sea (Torre dell’Orso, Otranto) and the city of Lecce.
