In the beating heart of Nardò's historic center, along the original and fascinating Via Duomo, where history is intertwined with timeless beauty, stands this extraordinary 15th-century mansion, a dwelling that has spanned the centuries, transforming itself but never losing its regal charm. Once the property of King Vernaleone, it was a royal residence until 1617, when it became the Church of San Nicola ai Canniti. Even today, upon entering the main courtyard, the inscription "In domino confido" greets visitors, testifying to its illustrious ecclesiastical past. Entirely built of stone, the mansion envelops those who experience it in a unique atmosphere, where history can be felt in every corner. The elegance of the exterior, with its fine details in Lecce stone and the city's original cobblestones, anticipates the charm of the interior: past the atrium with the well, the spaces open to the cellar, the terraces and the living area, where the warmth of the double living room with fireplace and splendid star vaults with exposed stone welcomes guests, flanked by a functional kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom with private bathroom. Going up to the second floor, two more bedrooms and a bathroom complete the sleeping area. The real jewel of the property is its garden of about 120 square meters, an absolute rarity in the heart of Nardò, a green oasis shaded by three citrus trees and dominated by the imposing bell tower of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, which soars silently without bells to disturb the quiet. From here, a world of possibilities opens up: a technical room, a charming cellar with an exposed barrel vault, an additional room with a star vault, and a staircase leading to the panoramic terraces, perfect for admiring the surrounding landscape and enjoying the timeless charm of the city. The property also includes a part to renovate, three rooms totaling about 150 square meters, ideal for those who wish to further customize this architectural gem. Quiet and peaceful, despite being in the heart of the city, the mansion offers generous spaces, fine architecture and the convenience of a private parking area, which can be enclosed if necessary to recreate an exclusive garage. The property is also equipped with a video surveillance system. Thanks to its spaciousness and intelligent distribution of space, this historic home is not only a splendid residence, but also an ideal investment opportunity: it allows for the creation of a private home with an independent area to be used for rental or accommodation, combining the charm of the past with an attractive income prospect. This property falls within the canons of the Puglia Region's Mini PIA/PIA facility calls.
