SAN VITO DEI NORMANNI - SALENTO
In San Vito dei Normanni, located a few kilometers away from the sea, is now available for sale a prestigious noble villa of about 1000 sq.m dating back to the 1700s.
The villa is surrounded by a large lush garden of about 2 hectares.
It was donated in 1820 by Prince Dentice di Frasso to his daughter Marquise Dentice di Frasso Maria Marianna who got married to Marquis Capece Minutolo, and it was lived by Marquis Gerardo Capece Minutolo di Bugnano until 2014.
A long tree-lined avenue leads to the residence which is spread on two levels, ground floor and first one, in addition to a basement.
On the ground floor we are welcomed by an elegant portico featuring large arches, vaulted ceilings and an imposing wooden door with the noble coat of arms (the Lion) of the Capece Minutolo family at the top.
An elegant marble staircase dominates the center of the large entrance hall, which connects the two levels. Both on the right side and on the left side of it there are various rooms featuring high ceilings with star, pavilion and barrel vaults, as well as ancient tiled floors.
The beauty of the large and elegant living room is enhanced by a wonderful stone fireplace.
On the upper level, some of the rooms overlook a panoramic terrace of about 150 sq.m which offers a beautiful view of the green garden and the surrounding area.
In the basement, the property is completed by a cellar with vaulted ceilings in exposed stone; in the garden there are a large storage of about 109 sq.m and a tennis court.
Despite the very central position, the villa enjoys exceptional privacy and, at the same time, it is located a few meters from all main services.
It is located 14 km from the nearest beaches on the Salento coast and the nature reserve of Torre Guaceto, 23 km from Brindisi and its airport, 60 km from Lecce and 100 km from Bari and its international airport.
