About this place
Located on Via Regina Elena in Sogliano Cavour, in the heart of Salento, we offer for sale a prestigious historic apartment on the first floor, accessible via a convenient independent entrance. This charming 121-square-meter property has undergone a meticulous conservative restoration and a top-level interior design project, transforming it into a unique luxury living solution within the local real estate landscape.
The interior spaces have been expertly redesigned to offer a bright open-space living area, an intimate study, and a large, spectacular Master Suite, making the home the ideal retreat for couples, professionals, or international buyers looking for a highly charming pied-à-terre. The apartment represents a perfect blend of history and modernity: the striking historic cement tiles (cementine) have been carefully restored and paired with the contemporary elegance of microcement, while the walls are embellished with delicate natural lime plaster finishes. Excellence is evident in every architectural detail, from the complete restoration of the facade to the latest generation of aluminum window frames.
Completing this exclusive residence are rare and valuable appurtenances, such as a convenient private garage and a wonderful level terrace with dedicated lighting, creating the perfect outdoor space to enjoy Salento evenings. Living comfort is guaranteed by state-of-the-art systems, including a total overhaul of the plumbing and electrical wiring, excellent thermal insulation, a rooftop boiler, and sophisticated air conditioning integrated into the ceiling and directly into the headboard of the bed. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of the living area is further enhanced by a Palazzetti pellet fireplace with heat ducting.
A true gem of this proposal is its “turnkey” formula, which includes exclusive, top-of-the-range furnishings. Future owners will be able to experience the home from day one, enjoying a custom-made kitchen with a stainless steel countertop and integrated hood, as well as high-end custom carpentry furniture including the sofa, TV cabinet, and elegant wardrobes. Further enriching the rooms, sophisticated designer lighting by Flos and Vibia interacts harmoniously with iconic furnishing elements, notably the famous “La Leggera” chairs by Cassina.
This living solution represents an unrepeatable opportunity to enjoy a representative home with historical charm and contemporary design, completely avoiding the timelines and burdens of a construction site. Thanks to its excellent features, it also proves to be an extraordinary option for those wishing to immediately generate income from the property in the luxury short-term rental circuit.
Buying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
