The residence, located on the mezzanine level of Palazzo Sambiasi—which once served as the family chapel—covers approximately 80 square meters in a single open-plan space.
The structure is characterized by massive perimeter walls of Lecce tuff, interspersed with columns of the same material and surmounted by four splendid star-vaults made of carparo stone; the color nuances, ranging from straw-white to reddish-brown, are truly admirable.
The window arches and their supporting lintels, also made of Lecce stone, are of the “exposed” type and unequivocally attest to the building’s 16th-century origins.
A unique and distinctive feature is the presence of three asymmetrical arches that divide the structure into two interconnected spaces.
The first is the entryway-living room with dual access from Via Marco Basseo and the building’s main entrance hall. This first space is situated beneath two asymmetrical star-vaulted ceilings and, given its large size, is designed to also host cultural events.
Behind the three arches and beneath an entire star-shaped vault, you’ll find a comfortable master bedroom and a bright bathroom featuring a window overlooking the building’s entrance hall and characterized by Murgese marble tiles in a myriad of shades.
Other notable features include the large and spacious shower stall (120 cm x 95 cm) and the built-in cabinet crafted from an antique fireplace.
The floor is made of pure white, high-quality Trani marble.
The apartment features a kitchenette with a refrigerator, induction cooktop, and sink, and is equipped with high-quality cookware and tableware.
Upon request, the double bed can be separated into two single beds, and two additional single beds can also be requested.
The vacation home is equipped with two powerful floor-mounted convection heaters to ensure the most comfortable climate control.
The original furnishings date back to the 19th century. The current owner has decorated the rooms with prints of famous jazz musicians that harmoniously complement contemporary sculptures created by the most talented and sought-after local artists.
