Description

Located on the second floor of the historic Palazzo Miramare in Santa Cesarea Terme, this refined apartment enjoys a spectacular cliffside setting overlooking the sea. High ceilings in the main living area, a distinctive multi-level layout and high-quality finishes give the property its unique character. Its dual-aspect position offers captivating views of the sea, the town and the surrounding pine forest, while the unusual configuration of the interiors lends the apartment an original and distinctive appeal.

The property is the result of a carefully considered design project, in which quality materials and fine finishes are combined with thoughtful solutions to make every space both functional and inviting. The desire to maintain a constant connection with the surrounding landscape has also informed some of the more subtle yet meaningful design choices. One example is the strategic placement of mirrors, which reflect the sea into rooms that do not directly overlook it. An understated detail that brings the blue of the sea into the heart of the home, reflecting a design philosophy attentive not only to aesthetics, but also to the atmosphere and emotions that a space can evoke.

The same attention to detail is evident in the layout, which has been designed to offer comfort and versatility without compromising the property’s architectural character. The main living level comprises an entrance hall, a storage room, a hallway, a fully equipped kitchen featuring a water purification system, a dining room, a living room and a guest bathroom. The high ceilings enhance the sense of space and contribute to the distinctive atmosphere of the interiors, while the thoughtful layout allows the different living areas to flow naturally while retaining their individual functions. Also on this level is a separate, self-contained room arranged as a cosy sitting area, complete with a bathroom and three sleeping spaces on a mezzanine level. This additional accommodation expands the apartment’s potential and allows guests to enjoy greater independence and privacy. The main sleeping quarters are located on the upper mezzanine level, accessed via a spiral staircase. Here, two separate bedrooms each feature their own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The multi-level layout creates an unconventional yet well-organised living environment, with distinct spaces that offer flexibility and a variety of ways to enjoy the property. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning.

Alongside the architectural features, practical details further enhance everyday comfort. The internal sliding doors, for example, allow the windows to remain open without the doors slamming in the breeze, encouraging natural ventilation and letting the sea air circulate throughout the apartment. A simple yet thoughtful solution, perfectly in keeping with the idea of a home designed to embrace the climate and landscape of Santa Cesarea Terme.

It is, however, the property’s direct relationship with the sea that truly sets it apart. From the palazzo, a private path leads down to the coastline and to a dedicated concrete platform reserved for the apartment. Here, there is space to set up a beach umbrella and sun loungers, creating a private spot just steps from the water. This is a genuine privilege, offering the freedom and convenience of enjoying the sea whenever you wish, without necessarily having to rely on commercial beach clubs.

As a whole, the apartment embodies a distinctive approach to coastal living, bringing together meticulous attention to detail, quality finishes and an original architectural layout with the desire to experience the sea every day. The connection with the surrounding landscape is not limited to the views that accompany you throughout the home; it is also reflected in the thoughtful design details that bring the sea into the interiors, as well as in the convenience of direct access to the coastline from the building.

A property full of character, set within an exceptionally charming historic building, this apartment is ideal for those seeking a home beyond the conventional, where considered design and distinctive spaces take centre stage. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the originality of the layout, the quality of the finishes and the rare pleasure of having the sea quite literally on your doorstep.
