About this apartment rental
Il Patio and Le Terrazze are two independent units of Villa Palazzo del Diavolo (in Parabita, Lecce), a prestigious comfortable building with baroque XVII century décor including large windows framed with sculptured local stone, situated in the middle of Parabita’s historic town center.
At the center of an area of great historical and artistic interest, 25 minutes away from the intense turquoise Ionian sea and the beaches, pine forest, dunes and wild rocky coast of the Regional Natural Park of Punta Pizzo and Isola di Sant'Andrea. The Adriatic seaside is also within driving distance (about 40 minutes transfer).
In addition to the coast, from the site you can easily reach the main attractions of Salento: from the most popular to the most refined and secret ones (Lecce, Galatina, Nardò, Santa Maria di Leuca, Porto Selvaggio, Santa Cesarea Terme, Otranto, to mention only a few).
Il Patio, situated in the ground floor, on the left of the entrance courtyard of the Palace, is a two-bedroom apartment: a master bedroom with star vaulted ceiling, a hallway, a living room with sofa bed and the bathroom with toilet and shower.
The kitchen (fully equipped) and the laundry (with bathroom) are situated next door.
- hosts up to 4 people -
Le Terrazze* is a small apartment located at the first floor including a double bedroom with star vaulted ceiling, a comfortable hallway and the bathroom with toilet and shower. Besides the walkway above the main entrance, where originally stationed a guard, the apartment enjoys a spacious terrace from where you can also reach the roof terrace.
- hosts 2 people -

Children are welcome, of course. Smoking is allowed only outdoor.
All rooms have Wi-Fi connection and independent air-conditioning (AC) units (cooling and heating). Free car parking nearby. Plus an own property garage suitable for two compact cars.

SPECIAL FEATURES
WHY IS IT CALLED "PALAZZO DEL DIAVOLO"?
Local tradition has the name connected to an event during the construction: several times, the corner linking the two arms of the balcony surrounding the entire building collapsed, despite it being supported. When someone observed that it could be “opera tu tiaulu” (made by the devil), the decision to represent the mask of the devil on one of the brackets, the one in the corner, would have definitively resolved the issue. Following this event, people began to believe that there was something mysterious about the building.
In reality, it is possible that the name derives from the numerous representations of similar demons that are found at different points on the window cornices and on the main door of the building. The origin of these depictions is not clear, but they have the esoteric and apotropaic (against the evil eye) features that recall those of the castles of Frederick II in Apulia, and other constructions in various areas of Italy.
RESTORATION
This was carried out in 2011-2013 by Impresa Leopizzi 1750 of Parabita (a family company that has worked for twelve generations in construction of buildings and in the restoration of monuments). Architect: Corrado Cazzato of Presicce. The restoration followed rigorous philological and conservation criteria preserving the original walls, the general layout and the typical architectural elements: the vaulting and the use of local stones (carparo and Lecce stone).
FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS
High-quality furniture and furnishings mostly from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some comes from Friuli (North-East Italy), among them we note the Specchiera consolle impero (early nineteenth century console with a large wall mirror) in the dining and sitting room of the Tower. This piece, which comes from the Great Hall of the Pitotti family home (now Antiquarium) in Povoletto (Udine, North-East Italy), has survived the two XX century world wars during which the house was requisitioned by the local command of the occupation troops.
There are two important original engravings, both from the eighteenth century: a map of the Kingdom of Naples, where also the town of Parabita can be recognized; and a map of the Republic of Venice.
With the help of the owners, it is possible to retrace the origin of various pieces of furniture through the events of family life.
