Single-family detached house via Lecce 5, Centro, Andrano

Some stories have no boundaries, they seem to be fueled by time, as in a reverse game that hides, in the breath of each passing day, a joy as young and white as the walls. This time we stop in Andrano, in a house that weaves together so many memories in its hands, a welcoming refuge, where high starry vaults anticipate the splendor of a garden in which it is possible, at nightfall, to combine the destiny of the stars with the imagination of a finger.

In this space with an ancient flavor it will be a moment to recover the soul affinities of the houses of the past, the family atmosphere that remains diffused around the hearth as if it were a magnet, the alchemical charm of the pavements and terraces hardened by the sun. Once you cross the entrance threshold, you find yourself inside a generous square-vaulted living area, a relaxing and intimate space enhanced by the material beauty of the walls and the daylight that is expressed through extraordinary glimpses of stone. At the center of the scene a fireplace, lazy from the play of the seasons, expresses an evocative force that is exciting to say the least, a monumentality that seems to guard the ultimate secret of all things experienced, without ever losing the restless charm of a new fire. The following room, intended for the intimacy of the evening, is a memory that resurfaces from an old photo, a wonderful projection of a scene distant in time and which echoes in the niches that sink into the stone, in the sacred dimension of a Levantine window, in the small glimpse of a rectangle that frames the beauty of the garden immersed in the blue sky.

There is an essentiality in these rooms immersed in the quiet of memories which finds a faithful reflection in the external courtyard and in the garden, in that space that opens onto the sky clear and colorful reflections of a seaside town, where you can cultivate the gifts of the spirit and inner calm. The natural color of the walls that push upwards is wonderful, while the magic that intertwines the immature sound of the reeds and the ripe scent of the citrus fruits takes place. This is the ideal dimension for cultivating the joy of living, sitting in the shade of the pergolas with a glass of fresh wine in your hands or around a lively Salento table in the company of friends. All that remains is to go up to the terrace of the property to admire the beauty of the landscape which has the consistency of a feeling, because in this atmosphere of peace and relaxation you will sow many blissful words on the proud chest of a great history.

Andrano is a quiet village of the lower Salento with a medieval heart. Located on the Adriatic coast, the town has an ancient history, closely linked to that of Otranto and the Turkish invasion of 1480. Its Marina is much appreciated, reachable in just 5 minutes, with beaches of absolute beauty such as the Green Grotto and the Botte area , joined together by the suggestive Agavi seafront. Castro, 19 km from Otranto, 44 km from Lecce and 100 km from Brindisi Airport.--05402a2a2a7502354c23971832fbbf35!
