Calimera – Stunning renovated multi-level property

Description

At 104 Via Giorgio Castriota, in the vibrant heart of Calimera, stands a residence that captivates at first sight: 175 sqm of pure elegance, arranged over three levels and enhanced by spacious panoramic sun terraces. Here the charm of Salento’s historic architecture has been masterfully preserved through a complete and careful renovation, which has brought the imposing star vaults and exposed stonework back to life, enhancing them with the skilful use of Lecce stone while retaining the original cement tiles on the ground floor. Light is the undisputed protagonist of every room, heightened by high-quality windows that flood the spaces with natural brightness. The entrance opens onto a welcoming lounge area leading to a spacious and convivial kitchen-living room, perfect for moments of togetherness, from which one reaches the first bedroom with private bathroom and the enchanting internal garden, a true green retreat with stone fireplace and outdoor shower. A stone staircase leads to the first floor, where a striking Lecce stone mezzanine creates a fascinating geometric interplay that runs seamlessly across the main rooms – the entrance and the kitchen-living room – giving the sensation of almost touching the magnificent star vaults and fully experiencing the historic soul of the house. Here we find a second bedroom with bathroom, an additional bathroom and a private terrace overlooking the garden, also equipped with an outdoor shower. On the second floor, the sleeping area features two elegant double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one of which offers direct access to the sun terrace, perfect for admiring the Calimera skyline in complete tranquillity. The property also includes practical spaces such as a convenient under-stair storage room and built-in wardrobes, ideal for keeping order and optimising the interior layout. This one-of-a-kind residence represents an extraordinary opportunity both for those who dream of living in the heart of Salento, in a home that combines history with contemporary comfort, and for those wishing to embark on a business venture, such as a boutique B&B or a charming residence for discerning guests.
