A stunning architect-designed home in the centre of the beautiful city of Lecce. It has recently been fully refurbished to a high standard and offers an elegant living space in this vibrant and historic city.

The apartment has a large lounge with triple height vaulted ceiling and a balcony overlooking a newly refurbished luxury Art Deco hotel. The room also has built in wall to wall book cases that were specially designed for the space.

Moving through the apartment there is a bright and airy dining room big enough to sit twelve comfortably under its star vaulted ceiling and an eat-in kitchen with a huge arched window, marble breakfast bar and artisan created units housing new Smeg appliances (included in sale price).

Throughout these three rooms parquet flooring has been laid that was made from reclaimed oak in a herring bow design, whilst in the master bedroom the floor has been resurfaced with local crushed marble.

The bathroom is encased in wall to ceiling venetian porcelain brick tiles with a nickel shower and fittings.

Lecce is the capital of Salento, frequently called the 'Florence of the South', despite the marked difference in architecture. It has a stunning Baroque centre, a Roman amphitheatre, some very posh shops and restaurants - as well as many excellent smaller ones.
