Camarda Palace Historic residence of the seventeenth century in the center of Ceglie Messapica, for years the residence of the Fiorio family Seventeenth-century stately building, 410 square meters on three levels, free on four sides in the oldest district of Ceglie Messapica, the gastronomic capital of Puglia. Residential use. For years, Palazzo Camarda was the Apulian refuge of the Fiorio family: Cesare Fiorio, historic Sporting Director of Scuderia Ferrari and architect of Lancia's successes in rallies, with eighteen world titles won by the family in motorsport. A bond that is part of the recent history of the Palace. Ten rooms, six bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms plus a courtesy bathroom. The master bedroom is a 50 sqm suite overlooking the Itria Valley. The conservative restoration of 2018 recovered the starry vaults in local limestone and the original proportions of the rooms, without sacrificing comfort and plant engineering. From the roof terrace, the gaze reaches the Ducal Castle, the trulli countryside and, on clear days, the sea. Two possibilities, one property Palazzo Camarda lends itself to two uses, both ready from the day of the deed. As a private residence: an immediately habitable house, furnished, in one of the most authentic villages of the Itria Valley. As an accommodation business: the structure now houses a B&B with a rating of 9.5 out of Booking.com and Travellers' Choice recognition on TripAdvisor. It is not a constraint for the new owner: the activity can be continued, downsized or interrupted according to one's intentions. The spaces Ground floor with entrance, reception rooms and service areas. Upper floors dedicated to the sleeping area. Fireplace, alarm system, vaulted ceilings. On the first floor, a private staircase that opens from the living room leads to an independent two-room apartment: guest annex, accommodation for domestic workers or independent space for older children, which can also be used as a separate unit in the accommodation management. The property is sold furnished, except for a few pieces of sentimental value that the property reserves the right to remove. For those who buy from outside the region or from abroad, it means a house that can be lived in from the deed, without the time and cost of furnishing rooms of these proportions. The location Largo Ognissanti is in the heart of the historic center: restaurants, shops, market and squares on foot. Ceglie Messapica is located in the center of the triangle between Valle d'Itria, Alto Salento and the Adriatic coast, about thirty minutes from the nearest beaches and less than forty minutes from Brindisi airport. Good to know The energy class is F, 160 kWh/m² year, a typical figure of historic stone buildings of this age. The original wall thickness and the conservative restoration of 2018 still guarantee good living comfort in the different seasons.
