Among the most interesting properties on the market, an eighteenth-century residence in Giuggianello, for sale with Carratelli Real Estate

Lecce, July 31, 2025 – The Salento real estate market is experiencing a period of intense interest, especially from Italian and international buyers seeking restored historic properties, nestled in unsaturated landscapes, and with hospitality or residential potential. While coastal areas continue to attract investment, the strongest growth in terms of high-quality demand is currently being seen in the inland areas.

 

According to data updated to June 2025, the average asking price for residential properties in the municipality of Giuggianello  the smallest in the province of Lecce — is approximately 617 euros per square meter, with an increase of 11% compared to the previous year (source: immobiliare.it). A figure still far from the values of Otranto or Santa Maria di Leuca (often above 2,000 /m ), but which signals a positive trend for renovated farmhouses and small historic homes, especially when they are ready for use.

 

Among the properties currently on the market, one stands out Ancient Residence Secret Gardens, an 18th century house restored with conservative criteria, located right in the historic centre of Giuggianello and now for sale with a mandate to Carratelli Real Estate, an operator specializing in luxury properties in Italy and abroad.

 The property retains all the distinctive elements of Salento architecture: star vaults, Lecce stone, a central courtyard, a Mediterranean garden with a citrus grove, and a saltwater pool with a whirlpool. The spaces are arranged around a central body comprising a living room, kitchen, and dining room, with four independent suites overlooking the courtyard. Each suite has a private bathroom and private access. The entire property can accommodate up to eleven people.

 

The property is designed for both residential and hospitality purposes, with well-balanced private and shared spaces, and a dedicated area for pets. The exterior is furnished for al fresco living, with a patio for breakfasts and dinners, immersed in the quiet of the village and just fifteen minutes from the Adriatic beaches of Otranto, Santa Cesarea, and Castro Marina.
