The property dates back to 1600s and it is, after the Mother Church, the oldest building in Calimera. The property is about 600 sqm and it is on the ground floor; its interiors are embellished with high ceilings with beautiful and characteristic star and barrel vaults in exposed stones. The underground part, which was used as a large storage room in the past, is completely dug into the rock and it is of about 150 sqm. It is also possible to build on the roof terrace for almost the entire surface of the ground floor. The property is completed by the 500 sqm interior garden. The rooms are all arranged in a very functional way, therefore the property lends itself well to be used for example as a tourist accomodation taking advantage of the funds granted by Regione Puglia for the renovation of ancient buildings for tourist purposes. It would be possible to create in fact a wellness centre on the basement floor, a restaurant on the ground floor also using the outdoor garden and several rooms to host guests on the upper floor. In the past the building was used for different purposes: it was in fact a mill, then also a barn and an olive-oil mill and its activity was so important that lots of people from Calimera and the neighboring villages were employed there. This confirms the prestige enjoyed by this ancient structure, not only from an architectural point of view but also from a historical and social perspective. Calimera is just 15 km from the nearest beaches of Salento, 20 km from Lecce, 45 km from Gallipoli and 65 km from Brindisi Airport.

A masterpiece of military architecture of the 1500s, the Castle of Caprarica, in the historic Salentine town of Tricase, is very fascinating due to its classic rectangular plan with 4 cylindrical towers at the corners and its harmonic and imposing proportions are surprising at the same time. Perfectly restored and preserved, with great attention to detail, protected by its walls over 6 meters high, it hides inside a private garden and a large park of over 1 hectare with a beautiful infinity pool, as well as two large outbuildings and a beautiful dovecote. The main body of the Castle, divided into two floors, offers a beautiful view of the rooms around the private garden, where a large patio allows to enjoy them all year round. The splendid and large kitchen is modernly equipped for welcoming many guests and the large and functional service areas complete the ground floor of the residence. On the first floor, there are three large bedrooms with their respective bathrooms and many closets and wall cupboards. The two annexes, independent and far from each other, are respectively composed of four and three bedrooms with their respective bathrooms, as well as many living rooms. A large patio with a kitchen near the pool offers the possibility to gather with the family shaded from the warm sunshine. Very close to the wonderful Tricase coast of a little more than a hour from Brindisi airport, the Castello is a prestigious residence in one of the most authentic areas of Italy.
