Palazzo San Vito

Palazzo San Vito is a restored historic residence in the quiet town of Lequile, just outside Lecce. Behind its traditional façade, the palazzo reveals a contemporary atmosphere where heritage and modern design coexist with ease. Vaulted ceilings, limestone floors, and soft natural tones create a calm rhythm throughout the spaces. The rooms open onto a private courtyard with a pool and lush Mediterranean garden, offering a secluded place to unwind. Renovated by Studio Valari, the project preserves the soul of the original structure while introducing a refined sense of simplicity and balance that reflects the essence of Salento living.
