'Il Tramontana' House in the Courtyard

The "il Tramontana" house-museum is a typical courtyard house located in an alley in the historic center of Melendugno. The house consists of an entrance courtyard, a living room, a double bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and an internal courtyard. Both outdoor spaces are exclusively available to guests. The interior of the house is carefully furnished with antique furniture and objects that recall the rural Salento of a century ago. The space The Court Houses represent the typical way of living of the peasant classes of Salento and are found in many countries of the Mediterranean area. In this type of dwelling, the courtyard is the main element of the house, and is conceived as a multifunctional space, used as a workplace, storage and warehouse, shelter for animals and above all a space for socializing, entertainment and play. The interior is carefully furnished with furniture and accessories of our ancestors, recovered from antique markets and old cellars, trying to recall lost lifestyles and to bring to life practices, customs and traditions that are as precious as they are forgotten. We therefore recommend that our guests take great care of the objects on display and the furniture. Other things to note Structure Identification Code (CIS): LE07504391000012890
