Casa Cesira is not just a simple dwelling; it is an expression of love for our land, our culture, and our way of experiencing Salento. All the furnishings, carefully and thoughtfully selected, represent a historical period, all coming from old charming residences, restored and adapted with a modern touch within our property. The handcrafted lighting was chosen to create a warm and welcoming design atmosphere. The marble used for much of the bathroom furnishings, called DIASPRO ROSSO, represents the vibrant colors of our land—the warm and intense red of the summer sun. The kitchen, deliberately chosen as a professional-grade setup, is at your disposal to offer a unique and unforgettable culinary experience, accompanied by expert chefs available upon request. The coat of arms prominently displayed at the entrance clearly marks the period of construction dating back to the 1700s. The entire building was once part of a larger complex and, under the direction of architect Ferdinando Sanfelice, was built in the context of the foundation of the Conservatory—a charitable institution strongly promoted by Bishop Antonio Sanfelice with the aim of training and providing work to young women, especially those at risk of falling into trouble or who had already experienced difficult situations. The same architect also oversaw the construction of the church adjacent to our property, which was completed in 1722 when Bishop Sanfelice celebrated its dedication ceremony on January 15th of that year.
