Early 20th-century stately home with garden for sale in Calimera (LE) – 124RTB23

Calimera is a unique town in Salento, distinguished by being one of the 12 municipalities of the so-called Grecìa Salentina, a Greek-speaking enclave where, particularly until the last century, an ancient language of Greek origin was spoken: Griko. In the heart of this charming town stands a magnificent renovated historic palace evoking the Art Nouveau charm of the era. The villa, spanning approximately 560 sqm, is set within an enchanting Italian-style garden of about 2,600 sqm, enriched by a charming pergola with a Lecce stone colonnade, leading to an ancient well located in the rear green area of over 1,100 sqm.

The renovation of this historic palace was carried out with painstaking attention to period details, employing a splendid restoration specification. Inside the residence, one can enjoy a large entrance hall, a dining room with a cooking area, a bathroom, an elegant and bright living room with a dedicated billiards area, as well as five bedrooms, one of which features a private en-suite bathroom, while an additional bathroom serves the sleeping area. A laundry room of about 20 sqm is located on the mezzanine floor, while the basement houses a 40 sqm cellar, easily accessible via an elevator.

The villa was constructed entirely using exposed Lecce stone, a material that truly embodies the history of Salento. The interiors are embellished with splendid star-vaulted ceilings, while the terrazzo tile floor dating back to 1917 has been skillfully preserved. The original interior doors and windows have been equally restored with care, preserving the residence’s authenticity. At the same time, to ensure modern comfort and functionality, the villa is equipped with a sophisticated home automation system and a 12 kW photovoltaic system, benefiting from the Feed-in Tariff (Conto Energia) for an additional 14 years.

Purchasing this magnificent residence is made even easier thanks to the option of entering a RENT TO BUY scheme, offering a unique opportunity for those wishing to own a prestigious residence in the heart of Calimera, immersed in history and surrounded by the beauty of Salento. Combining the charm of the past with modern comforts, this splendid villa represents an enchanting home characterized by timeless elegance and refinement.
