Two ground-floor apartments in an early 1900s house in the centre of Crispiano, between the Valle d’Itria and Taranto. Star-vaulted ceilings, cement-tile floors, private entrance.
In the early 1900s Leonardantonio Leggieri commissioned local craftsmen and stonemasons to build this house as a home for his family.
Melina, the family matriarch, kept its history and traditions alive for decades. Today her son Antonio has restored it with high-end finishes by local artisans and opens it to guests, with the same welcome as back then.
Living room with kitchenette and sofa bed, separate double bedroom with a wrought-iron bed, private shower room. Green cement-tile floors and star vaults in every room.
