- spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom,

- bathroom.
Both the bedroom and the living room have access, via staircase, to a characteristic terrace overlooking the village's main square directly.
A second staircase also leads to the panoramic rooftop terrace.
The presence of two independent entrances allows the two levels of the property to function completely autonomously.
A unique residence immersed in one of the most authentic and characteristic historic centers of Salento, perfect for those wishing to experience the magic of the area or invest in an exclusive hospitality property in the heart of Greća Salentina.
