LECCE HISTORIC CENTRE – HISTORIC VILLA WITH LARGE PRIVATE GARDEN | IDEAL FOR HOSPITALITY & EVENTS
In the historic centre of Lecce, we offer for rent a prestigious property occupying the ground floor of a historic villa, comprising approximately 300 sqm of indoor space, a 650 sqm private garden and an additional covered structure of approximately 150 sqm.
A property of exceptional charm and versatility, offering excellent potential for the development of a project in the hospitality, events, restaurant, wellness or high-end professional sectors.
Currently used as a private residence, the property retains the distinctive features of traditional Salento architecture, including high ceilings with characteristic star vaults, large windows and bright, elegant interiors.
The approximately 300 sqm of indoor space comprises an entrance hall, which can also serve as a reception area, and eight spacious rooms, offering considerable flexibility in terms of layout and future use.
LARGE PRIVATE GARDEN WITH INDEPENDENT ACCESSOne of the property’s most distinctive features is the approximately 650 sqm rear garden, a level, tree-lined and private outdoor area – a particularly valuable asset in the heart of Lecce’s historic centre.
The garden benefits from independent vehicular access and, thanks to its size and layout, offers excellent potential for private and corporate events, receptions, aperitifs, workshops, wellness activities, exhibitions and photo shoots.
The outdoor area also includes a covered structure of approximately 150 sqm, which can be converted and customised according to the requirements of the intended project. Subject to the necessary permits and regulations, the space could accommodate kitchen and service areas, restrooms, changing rooms, storage facilities, technical rooms or offices.
IDEAL FOR A BOUTIQUE HOTEL OR EVENT VENUEThe combination of a historic villa, generous interiors, a large private garden and additional ancillary space makes this property particularly attractive for the development of a boutique hotel or charming hospitality concept, potentially complemented by exclusive services and experiences for guests.
The garden and ancillary spaces also offer the opportunity to create an event venue, restaurant concept, wellness centre, retreat space, workshop venue, showroom or other high-end professional activity.
Its location is an additional advantage: set within Lecce’s historic centre yet only a short distance from the northern entrance to the city and the main transport links, the property successfully combines the prestige of a central historic setting with excellent accessibility.
