Single-family detached house via Convento 124, Marittima, Diso

A swing of references and chromatic suggestions sways between the beauty of memories and the extraordinary energy of the places experienced. It is, by feel, a dimension of serenity and peace that perfectly matches the taste of a journey back in time. This time we stop in Marittima, among the colorful arms of Via Convento, a historic road that slopes towards the sea of Castro and which links its name to the seraphic presence of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli.

The domestic itinerary begins with a first room full of light and colours, a true hymn to creativity and the joy of living, where the eternal beauty of the original flooring stands out, with an eclectic mix of geometries recalling the movement of the sea under the white blanket of the vault starry. The artistic sensitivity of the owner of the house has a significant impact on the soulful charm of this space, because everything seems to be based on a systemic change of perspective, as if a myriad of details gave life to a constellation of shapes and references with a great emotional impact .

A second room, of the same size as the first, perfectly preserves the chromatic substance of a scene from the past, a miracle of simplicity that revolves around a window suspended in the white of the walls, while the height of the starry vault has been divided by a mezzanine of the right size, with the effect of creating respectively a bedroom and a conversation space with a welcoming and versatile nature. The dining room that follows is a small wonder that re-emerges from the depths of the years, with a starry vault which, as it varies in height, imparts a scenographic elegance to a domestic environment imbued with family intimacy. The depth of field is ensured by the kitchen located on the southern side, with a Levantine-inspired glass door that opens onto the small side courtyard, from which it is possible to gather light and a view of the blue sky.

A profound essentiality marks the stone staircase which from the courtyard ascends to the first floor, swirling gently to the left, until it opens onto a small terraced space which preludes an exciting star-vaulted environment, in turn accompanied on the right side by a level terrace from which it is possible to reach the Exclusively owned solar area. The panoramic view of the surrounding area becomes an incredible journey on the flow of time, a pupil that lights up happily on the sea on the horizon, a hat full of memories that pour onto the head in the evening, when the smell of history manifests itself as a joy which allows itself to be approached, after having re-emerged from the bottom of who knows what abyss.

Marittima is one of the most popular villages in the lower Salento, as demonstrated by the many foreigners who have taken root there, tastefully renovating the homes in the historic centre. Located on the Adriatic coast, the town boasts an ancient history, closely linked to that of Otranto and the Turkish invasion of 1480. You will be lucky enough to be just 2 km from the famous Acquaviva di Marittima inlet, 4 km from Castro and the Marina di Andrano (Green Cave), 19 km from Otranto, 44 km from Lecce and 100 km from Brindisi Airport.--8ec27761273d1fa261b78ec144527a74!
