In the historic center of Acquarica del Capo, on a characteristic small square paved with traditional “chianche” limestone slabs and located directly beside the Church of San Giovanni Battista, stands a series of finely restored 17th-century palazzi.
Passing through a large wooden gate, you enter an entrance area with the original stone flooring, now protected by a glass structure, keeping it dry while maintaining its natural light
The recent restoration, carried out with full respect for the building’s history, followed conservative principles that preserved original materials, spatial volumes, and surfaces: star-vaulted ceilings, cocciopesto floors, stone paving, and tuff walls are among the palazzo’s distinctive features.
The light, minimalist design, the clean lines, the natural colors and the simple furnishings highlight the monumentality of the building, creating a harmonious balance between antiquity and modernity.
The piano nobile includes two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a versatile space incorporating an antique apothecary cabinet that originally stood on the ground floor of the palazzo.
This floor features underfloor heating, air conditioning in all rooms, and gas heating.
The living area is arranged around a large fireplace and consists of a double living room that opens onto both the dining room and the kitchen.
The bright kitchen is equipped with an original cast-iron stove, a wood-fired oven, custommade cabinets and pantry cupboards, and also includes a guest WC and a utility room.
Large glass doors in the kitchen open directly onto a nearly 200 m² terrace with an aluminum pergola and unobstructed views of the greenery and Palazzo Villani.
A staircase leads from the dining room to a third bedroom with its own bathroom on the second floor, this room opens onto another rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views of the church, the bell tower and the historic center.
On the ground floor, a long corridor leads to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, two service rooms, and finally to a large vaulted space that opens through French doors onto a private, landscaped courtyard – where the construction of a pool is possible.
This part of the palazzo originally housed the stables and the rooms used for olive-oil production, with grain storage areas and water reservoirs that extended beneath the entire surface of the property.
