Family House Martina Franca Italy

Ancient palace in Martina Franca Italy

In the heart of the enchanting Valle d'Itria, in Martina Franca – a town renowned for its noble palaces and the timeless charm of its historic center – we are pleased to offer for sale the exclusive Palazzo Delfini, a true architectural gem dating back to 1776.

The palace is named after the heraldic emblem of the family that commissioned its construction, represented by a sculpted dolphin adorning the main entrance, flanked by a commemorative inscription. Covering a total surface of approximately 600 sqm, the property is arranged over three levels and retains all the charm of its era, featuring original flooring, historic doors, and period frescoes, all of which have been meticulously restored.

The main entrance opens into the noble floor, where a succession of spacious and light-filled rooms is enhanced by balconies and small terraces overlooking the picturesque alleys of the town. The second floor, distinguished by its barrel-vaulted ceilings, hosts additional rooms and a private terrace offering scenic views of the city. A staircase leads to the panoramic rooftop terrace, which boasts sweeping views across the entire Valle d'Itria.

Adding further value to this unique property are two internal garages totaling 97 sqm, directly connected to the interior of the building – a rare and highly sought-after feature in any historic center.
