Description
In the heart of San Cesario di Lecce, a few steps from the majestic Palazzo Ducale, stands Dimora Distilia: an ancient bourgeois palace that combines the charm of eighteenth-century architecture with the elegant details of the 19th century embellished with splendid elements of contemporary design. The original façade, perfectly preserved, integrates harmoniously with modern comforts thanks to a careful renovation carried out by the team of architects from the XX03 studio in Andria. An internal courtyard leads to the eight apartments, characterized by decorated grit floors and frescoed star vaults, where the large Empire-style living room has been restored with meticulous care, retaining the elegant period furnishings. All the apartments, embellished with designer design elements, interact harmoniously with the lush garden, designed by the landscape architect Roberto De Giorgi, where the greenery is enhanced by the ornamental plants typical of historic gardens. The infinity pool, set in an ancient citrus grove, and a wooden platform that houses the hydromassage tub with waterfall, complete this exclusive space, creating a refined and timeless atmosphere. The original white steel staircase recalls the tradition of Salento lights and fluidly connects the garden to the solarium on the terrace and to the flat roof, which houses two residential units with elegant mullioned windows overlooking the internal courtyard, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The property includes a Spa on the semi-basement floor, which enriches the experiential journey with a touch of luxury and tranquility. Dimora Distilia represents a unique opportunity for investors looking for a prestigious property, ideal both as an exclusive residence and as a luxury accommodation facility. With its historic charm, timeless architecture and modern comforts, the building offers high potential for development in the real estate and tourism sectors.
