An old-soul palazzo, revived with new life
A luxurious historic palazzo in southern Puglia where time slows down among ancient stone and orange groves.
In the unassuming town of Lequile, just 5 minutes from Lecce — the so-called 'Florence of southern Italy' — lies Palazzo San Vito, a 19th-century historic villa in Salento reimagined for modern comfort. Rented exclusively to one group of up to 8 friends or family, this spacious, boutique palazzo has 4 ensuite bedrooms, a private saltwater pool and a 700 m² Mediterranean garden, with the beaches 25 minutes away — a luxury villa in Puglia made for a relaxing getaway, in every season.
The expansive grounds boast four spacious bedrooms with intimate ensuite bathrooms, a private pool, and boundless social spaces both indoors and out.
After lying abandoned for more than fifty years, this former aristocratic home was revived through a sensitive, multi-year restoration process led by local architects and artisans. Original floors and ancient limestone walls blend harmoniously with contemporary design-forward features, creating a continual dialogue with past and present Puglia.
Today, this private palazzo in the heart of Salento, welcomes discerning travellers all year round. It ensures pure peace and intimacy. Palazzo San Vito offers total solitude as well as the unique advantage of an authentic Apulian town lying just outside its centuries-old walls.
Your days unfold effortlessly among the convivial grounds, dining at local bars and trattorias just a five-minute walk away, or lounging by the pool enveloped by ancient orange groves.
Photoshoots and events
With its light-filled historic interiors, sweeping spaces, and authentic Pugliese architectural finesse, Palazzo San Vito provides an extraordinary backdrop for photoshoots, brand productions, and intimate private events.
