In the historic center of Melissano stands a perfectly restored 17th century palace, one of the first buildings in the town, which houses centuries of history and timeless charm within it. This residence stands out for its original floors, witnesses of the past, and for its beautiful, perfectly preserved stone balconies that overlook the road that leads to the ancient heart of the village.

Famous for its mignani, i.e. the typical Salento balconies that extend across the entire width of the courtyard.
The palace is a life experience, a corner of history that invites you to immerse yourself in its beauty. A perfect home for those who dream of living in a place where time seems to have stopped.

An ancient stone staircase, which goes up to the large terrace, from which you can admire an extraordinary panorama of the surrounding countryside, ideal for summer dinners and parties. Here stands the ancient watchtower which dates back to the 13th century with the torch holders still intact, a rare witness to the past which stands to protect the sky. Inside the tower, an apartment has been created with a period fireplace and two other welcoming rooms, which make every guest feel part of history.
A garage and a room with a barrel vault which preserves ancient mangers and a stone oil mill which was, in the past, the Melissano oil mill, entirely dug into the rock, which tells of centuries-old traditions linked to the land and the work of man.
