Features and description
At the gates of the city of Lecce, in the Valle della Cupa, between Lecce, Monteroni, and San Pietro in Lama—where once stood the hamlet and fief of Malcandrino, purchased in the mid-17th century by the Spanish nobleman Bartolomeo Lopez y Royo—lies the enchanting Tenuta Malcandrino.
The estate covers an area of about two hectares, with its vast grounds (olive grove, orchard, and vegetable garden) and its majestic tuff quarries spanning roughly one hectare. Dominating the property is the tall crenellated tower, visible from the road before arrival, which once served as the watchtower of the water reservoir. Located at the entrance, this tower, a silent witness of centuries of history, has become an evocative element capable of stirring emotions and creating a unique atmosphere. In the evening, illuminated, it rises majestically against the night landscape.
The estate consists of 26 rooms, covering a total indoor area of 1,650 sqm: Three long underground galleries, two courtyards with fig and bitter orange trees, a spacious kitchen, ten bathrooms, an ancient well, and a 195-sqm garden personally tended by the family. Once a historic winery, the estate preserves underground galleries carved into the rock in perfect condition.
One of the two tuff quarries is crowned with imposing star-shaped vaults dating back to the early 19th century, converted into the family's private wine cellar. A large hall houses 18 massive oak barrels, each with a capacity of 8,000 liters—undisputed protagonists that never fail to enchant visitors.
With white tables, elegant yet essential furnishings, the estate was completely restored in 2014 without altering its original structure. Today, it is a renowned venue for exclusive events, lunches, and dinners.
At nightfall, when all the lights are lit, the estate transforms into a beacon of charm across the entire area, with the illuminated quarries radiating a magical atmosphere. The soft glow creates a striking contrast between past and present.
Tenuta Malcandrino is a unique place where history and nature come together in an enchanted setting. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply someone in search of a singular experience, Tenuta Malcandrino is a place that will surprise you.
