CASARANO - LECCE - SALENTO In the heart of Casarano's historic center, overlooking the enchanting and intimate Piazza San Pietro, we offer for sale a prestigious period building of approximately 400 sqm, likely dating back to the late 19th century. The building represents a significant example of Salento's historic architecture and stands out for its prime location in one of the city's most evocative and distinctive corners. The main entrance leads to a large open hall, featuring an elegant layout and original architectural elements that tell its story. From here, you enter the rear courtyard, which features a small internal garden. The building extends over two levels and houses seven separate units, offering extensive potential for renovation, both for high-end residential use and for high-end hospitality. The interiors retain valuable original features, including star, barrel, and hip vaults, as well as period cement tiles in some rooms, a testament to the decorative elegance of the late 19th century. The historic architectural framework is completed by fireplaces, an original kitchen stove, and two balconies overlooking the main façade, further enhancing the property. The property's crowning glory is a splendid panoramic terrace offering unobstructed views of Casarano's rooftops and the churches of the historic center. On this level, it's possible to reconstruct an additional room, currently uncovered following the collapse of the roof, which can be restored in compliance with current regulations and the building's historic features. Piazza San Pietro, where the property stands, is one of the most evocative spaces in the city of Casarano: a harmonious and fascinating place, dominated by the small church of the same name and historic buildings that enhance its scenic dimension. Buying a property in this location means entering a context of high historical, cultural, and architectural value, while also enjoying proximity to the main services and the renowned seaside resorts of Salento. Casarano is just 15 km from the beautiful beaches and crystal-clear sea of the Ionian Sea, 45 km from Lecce, 40 km from Otranto on the Adriatic coast, 85 km from Brindisi Airport, and 200 km from Bari International Airport.
