In the heart of Galatina, along the prestigious Via Robertini, stands a magnificent 18th-century noble palace, built during the artistic and architectural splendor of 18th-century Salento. Commissioned by Don Carlo Viva, a prominent figure from one of the most influential families of the time, it retains the aristocratic charm of its origins. On the façade, the phoenix rising from the flames still tells the story of the family today: an emblem of power, rebirth, and continuity that has watched over the residence for over two centuries.
The entrance opens onto a splendid internal courtyard, spacious and bright, paved in its original parts and designed to welcome those arriving by carriage. This is where the ancient rooms on the ground floor are located: the old stables, the service rooms, and the busy spaces that once animated the daily rhythm of the building. On this level, there is also a garage, now very rare in the historic center, which adds practical and distinctive value to the property.
From the courtyard, a spectacular stone staircase leads to the main floor, the representative heart of the residence. The rooms open onto a succession of bright spaces, frescoed ceilings, perfectly preserved trompe-l'œil paintings, and historic cocciopesto floors that reflect the elegance of the period. Salons, decorated rooms, ancient social areas, and private spaces coexist in natural harmony, restoring all the character of an aristocratic residence.
The building also features a refined mezzanine floor, connected to the main structure but with its own autonomy, ideal as an independent suite, guest room, or staff quarters, adding versatility and comfort to the entire structure.
Climbing up to the spacious panoramic terraces, your gaze opens up onto the wonderful intertwining of roofs, courtyards, and bell towers of the historic center. It is a place of peace and light, perfect for setting up as an outdoor living room, relaxation area, space for summer dinners, or small oases of intimacy suspended between sky and stone.
Located in the heart of the ancient village, a few steps from Galatina's most iconic architecture and immersed in one of the most beloved areas of Salento, this building enjoys a strategic and privileged position. A location that enhances every project: from everyday living with elegance and comfort to a form of investment that focuses on cultural and charming tourism, which is currently experiencing strong growth in this area.
A residence that preserves three centuries of history and is now ready to be reborn once again in the hands of those who will recognize its soul.
