SOLETO - LECCE - SALENTO
In the heart of the historic center of Soleto, we offer for sale the prestigious "Palazzo Salomi", a historic property dating back to 1600 that belonged to the Salomi family, originally from Soleto, from whom it takes its name. A famous member of this family was Liborio Salomi, who lived between 1882 and 1952, one of the most important Italian geologists, paleontologists, naturalists and taxidermists.
The Palace stands in the characteristic historic center of Soleto, rich in history, art and culture and probably one of the oldest towns in Salento.
It is spread over two levels, for a total surface area of approximately 400 m2, and is characterized by an imposing façade with high windows, a large arch with the family coat of arms and elegant balconies.
On the ground floor, a door with a large stone arch leads to 8 spacious rooms, one of which with an ancient fireplace, completed by a bathroom and a rear courtyard of approximately 50 sqm.
A staircase leads to the first floor, the noble floor of the Palace, where there is a small terrace and a further 9 elegant rooms characterized by high ceilings with star vaults and ancient period floors. The dining area is embellished with a beautiful antique wood-burning kitchen.
The property is completed on the upper floor by the roof terrace which offers a panoramic view over the entire suggestive historic center of Soleto.
Thanks to a skilful renovation, the property could become a prestigious private residence but also an important luxury accommodation facility, being in the heart of the historic center and just a few minutes from the sea. For this reason, in fact, it is possible to take advantage of the non-repayable incentives of the Puglia Region and the Mini Pia Turismo financing program.
The Palace is located a few steps from the Porta di San Vito and the beautiful Tower of Raimondello Orsini, an imposing architectural structure that stands out over the entire city which, according to legend, was built in a single night by a group of demons, that remained petrified at the top of the tower at the end of the spell with the rising sun.
Soleto is 26 km from the Ionian sea and the beautiful and renowned seaside locations of Santa Maria al Bagno and Santa Caterina. It is also 24 km from Lecce and 72 km from Brindisi Airport.
