Hidden in the whitewashed historic centre of Matino, within the 16th-century Palazzo De’ Maria, you’ll find this exceptional design apartment for 2 guests. A place where history and modern comfort come together effortlessly - with the expansive 170 m² rooftop terrace as its absolute highlight.
Inside, the sense of space is immediate. High ceilings of 4.6 metres, authentic cementine floors and a soft, light colour palette create a serene and elegant atmosphere. Design pieces by brands such as Bonaldo and Bonacina are combined with vintage finds and subtle artworks. A Stilnovo chandelier serves as a sculptural centrepiece, while a unique 17th-century fresco in the staircase reflects the palazzo's rich history.
The living area feels open and inviting, featuring a comfortable design sofa, along with a separate, fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom is spacious and bright, with a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, a French balcony and an en-suite bathroom. In addition, there is a second room that can serve as a lounge, studio or extra bedroom, complete with a design sofa bed and private bathroom.
But life here truly unfolds outdoors. The rooftop terrace feels like a world of its own, divided into different zones that flow seamlessly into one another. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a large dining table for 12 guests, lounge areas and sun terraces make this the perfect place to spend your days – from early morning until late evening. Two warm outdoor showers offer a refreshing moment after a day at the beach. Hand-painted details by artist Raul Hood add an artistic, almost dreamlike touch to the space.
And then, the view. From the rooftops of Salento to the sea near Gallipoli, and on clear days even as far as the mountains of Calabria. Especially at sunset, this is a place you won’t easily forget.
