Detached Residence for Sale in Presicce-Acquarica
An Exceptional Residence in the Heart of Presicce – Where the Timeless Charm of Salento Meets Contemporary Elegance
In the heart of the historic centre of Presicce, one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages (I Borghi più Belli d’Italia), Salento Agency is proud to present an exceptional residence where history and contemporary comfort blend in perfect harmony. Beautifully restored with remarkable attention to detail, this elegant detached home preserves the authentic character of traditional Salento architecture while reinterpreting it through a sophisticated, timeless design.
The property extends over two floors, complemented by a charming basement cellar, offering an outstanding combination of authenticity, architectural character and superior craftsmanship.
The entrance opens into a spacious living area distinguished by magnificent traditional star-vaulted ceilings, a defining feature of Salento’s architectural heritage. The generous sitting room and welcoming kitchen flow seamlessly through elegant steel-framed double-glazed doors into a delightful private courtyard—an intimate outdoor sanctuary that forms the true heart of the home, designed for relaxing and entertaining in complete privacy.
Beyond the courtyard lies a second outdoor living area featuring a barbecue and dining space, where long summer evenings can be enjoyed beneath the clear, star-filled skies of Salento.
Also on the ground floor are a luxurious principal suite with its own private bathroom and a second double bedroom, also benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, ensuring both comfort and practicality on the main level of the residence.
An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where the atmosphere evolves while preserving the home’s distinctive character. Exposed white timber beams create bright, welcoming interiors, while two elegant double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offer guests complete privacy and comfort.
From the landing, large doors open onto a spacious panoramic terrace, thoughtfully furnished as an outdoor lounge. From here, sweeping views extend across the rooftops, bell towers and elegant historic palazzi of Presicce’s old town, creating an atmosphere of timeless Mediterranean beauty.
A second staircase from the courtyard leads to the property’s charming barrel-vaulted cellar, a highly atmospheric space that would be perfectly suited as a private wine tasting room, an exclusive wine cellar, or a dedicated wellness retreat.
Completed approximately two years ago, the comprehensive restoration was carried out with meticulous respect for the building’s original architectural features while incorporating modern comforts and premium-quality materials throughout. All mechanical systems were completely renewed, including the plumbing, electrical, heating, air-conditioning and sanitary installations. The original decorative historic floors have been carefully restored wherever possible, while areas requiring replacement have been finished with elegant Trani stone flooring. Steel-framed double-glazed windows and the painstaking restoration of the original internal doors complete a conservation project of exceptional quality.
The interiors reflect a carefully curated aesthetic, where contemporary designer furnishings blend effortlessly with handcrafted elements inspired by Salento’s rich artisanal tradition. The result is a series of sophisticated yet welcoming spaces that balance elegance with warmth. The property is offered with most of its furnishings included, allowing immediate occupation or operation.
Thanks to its thoughtful layout and distinctive architectural features, this remarkable residence is equally suited as an exclusive private home or as a prestigious boutique hospitality property in one of Salento’s most desirable historic centres, just a short drive from the beaches of both the Ionian and Adriatic coasts.
