D'AMICO IMMOBILIARE offers for sale a prestigious Villa in Santa Maria di Leuca, a locality particularly frequented by tourists who every year visit our land. The Villa for sale is located exactly in the center of Leuca, and 80 meters from the sea, surrounded by the noble Leucan villas dating back to 1700. The Villa is on two levels and has a garden on three sides. The basement consists of a large living room, kitchen, 1 bathroom and a 1 bedroom. On the mezzanine floor, however, we find another living room, 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, with a terrace overlooking the sea. The Villa can therefore be inhabited as a whole, or, separately between the ground floor and the basement.
The Villa for sale is located in Santa Maria di Leuca, Castrignano del Capo
Santa Maria di Leuca is located 130 kilometers from the Airport of Salento, in Brindisi, and 90 kilometers from Lecce.
At the extreme tip of Puglia and Italy stands Santa Maria di Leuca. The promontory of Leuca has ancient origins. In fact, research has confirmed that this territory was frequented by the Neanderthal man. Testimonies of his passage have been found in the caves of the Devil, the Giant and the Child.
In addition, also in Santa Maria di Leuca, there was a village dating back to the Bronze and Iron Age located in the area of the current Sanctuary. Long before there was a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, the Minerva of the Romans, of which the historian Strabo also speaks. The temple, in fact, was visible by sailors even miles away, and it caused a certain fear. According to others, however, the pagan temple was the coastal sanctuary of Grotta Porcinara, still present in Leuca, but guarded behind a grate that prevents access.
The lighthouse of Santa Maria di Leuca and the monumental waterfall
Leuca is also famous for the Lighthouse of Santa Maria di Leuca in its 48.6 meters. Located 102 meters above sea level on the promontory of Punta Meliso. Its beam of light, in optimal weather conditions, is visible even over 40 kilometers. Going down from the promontory of Punta Meliso, through a double staircase that goes up to the old fishermen’s port, you walk along the Monumental Waterfall of the Apulian Aqueduct, the precise point where the Aqueduct ends.
