VILLA DESCRIPTION

A perfect mix of antique and modern in the rooms of the mansion

This is an old stone lamia dating back to the early 1900s located in one of the most scenic areas of the verdant Ostuni countryside with fantastic views of olive trees and the surrounding landscape.

The 120-square-metre property consists of an historic part, in stone, and a newly built part in lime:

- The old part has a living room with a linen sofa and an alcove under an archway that has two sofas and can become a very large triple bed. Inside, the Saracen trullo houses the master bedroom with a masonry bed and attached bathroom (lime-tiled) with a walk-in shower. The washbasin in reclaimed stone rests on a cement surface like the flooring and is equipped with a shelf for holding objects in natural wood, also reclaimed). The living room leads to the kitchen, made entirely of masonry and covered in lime like the walls; it has a hob and a dishwasher of the latest generation. The old fireplace has been recovered and converted into a pantry niche. From this area one then reaches the new part.

- In the recent structure is the dining area, which has two large windows overlooking the pergola and the garden, suggesting continuity with the outdoors, and from which one accesses the two bedrooms, both with bathrooms that include a shower and a sunken tub, as well as an outdoor shower in total privacy.

A fairytale to live in the outdoor spaces

The living area leads to the 45-square-metre pergola with an outdoor kitchen complete with all amenities, a large and convivial dining table, and a relaxation area leading to the pool area.

The infinity pool is 13.30 metres long and 3 metres wide, and is surrounded by double sun beds and single sun loungers.

The patio outside the house is composed of two areas: the outdoor kitchen area in masonry covered in lime, a salvaged table and designer chairs, plus a living area composed of a sofa with a masonry base and linen cushions, as well as various bean bag chairs and low tables, some in wood made by local craftsmen, others in design.

The pool area is composed of various complements, some of which are design, such as armchairs, sofas and deckchairs, while others, such as double beds and beanbags, are made specifically for the home.

Fine finishes

All the materials used for the sofas, cushions and curtains are carefully selected and of the highest quality, sourced from an elite private residence supplier. Local stone, dry stone walls, lime, together with natural wood, linen and fine fabrics, are the materials that complete the aesthetics of a project that is highly integrated into the context in which it is located.

The flooring, as throughout the home, is cement, while the walls are lime with rounded edges, a typical local finish. The vaulted ceilings are in local stone in order to preserve the original aesthetics of the construction.

The guest room bathroom is -as is the master bathroom- in lime with a cement shelf and reclaimed wood. The showers, covered in cement resin, are also characterised by the possibility of becoming a bathtub with an adjoining French window for access to the outside where there is a small clearing with an outdoor shower surrounded by agave plants in order to guarantee greater privacy.

Utilities: underfloor heating, wall air conditioning and fancoil, photovoltaic preparation, internet, alarm, double glazing, surveillance camera with active surveillance.

It is sold with all the furnishings included, including plates, pots, cutlery, carpets and specially chosen ceramics. 

If you are looking for a newly built luxury villa, if you want to fall in love every day with a typical Apulian landscape, if you love the beauty and at the same time the tradition of the region, and if you have always dreamed of investing in this slice of paradise, La Casa degli Ulivi could be your next purchase: contact us to book a visit!

THE SURROUNDINGS: OSTUNI

Perched on three hills, Ostuni lies in the Itria Valley at 218 m above sea level. It is 42 km from Brindisi and 8 km from the Adriatic coast on which the Blue Flag flies.

The magic of Ostuni, the White City, is linked to the characteristic lime-painting of the old town, a practice still rigorously observed by residents. At the centre of the town stands the 15th-century Romanesque-Gothic cathedral with a large rose window with 24 rays of rare beauty. Along Via Cattedrale, which bisects the medieval heart of the town, is the former Carmelite Monastery, home to the Museum of Preclassic Civilisations of the Southern Murgia, where the cast of Delia, a pregnant woman who lived 25,000 years ago, is on display.

In Piazza Beato Giovanni Paolo II (Cathedral Square), the eighteenth-century buildings of the Bishop's Palace and the old Seminary face each other, connected by the evocative Scoppa arch. The ground floor of the Episcopal Palace houses the Diocesan Museum, which preserves and exhibits the extraordinary historical and artistic heritage of the Church of Ostuni with masterpieces of international significance. Churches and stately homes line the old town surrounded by the Aragonese walls where Porta Nova and Porta San Demetrio open.

WHAT TO SEE

From the villa, the beaches of the Adriatic Sea can be easily reached in less than 20 minutes. Costa Merlata, Villanova, Rosa Marina and Torre Santa Sabina are examples of several seaside resorts with numerous beaches, restaurants and cafes.

Continuing on towards the village of Carovigno, you will find the beautiful nature reserve of TORRE GUACETO. Here you will be captivated by the succession of free or equipped coves of fine sand. The heart of this area guards a natural paradise characterised by a low, sandy coastline bordered by dunes and interrupted, from time to time, by rocks.

You can then reach other beautiful and characteristic villages, such as:

- CISTERNINO where the Orange Flag, the Italian Touring Club's environmental tourism quality mark, flies;

- ALBEROBELLO the city of trulli, which was recognised as a World Heritage Site in 1996;

- POLIGNANO A MARE known as the Pearl of the Adriatic and distinguished by its crystal-clear sea and rock embroidered with impressive cavities;

- FASANO surrounded by masserias and centuries-old olive groves, dolmens and archaeological remains;

- CASTELLANA GROTTE at the foot of the Valle d'Itria, the city of caves owes its fame to the most famous speleological complex in Italy;

- LOCOROTONDO stands out on the Murge dei Trulli plateau with its charming circular town of characteristic white houses;

- CEGLIE MESSAPICA tangle of alleyways paved with 'chianche', whitewashed arches and ups and downs, inebriates the ancient heart of the village with the inviting aroma of the 'Cegliese biscuit';

- MARTINA FRANCA the pinnacles of the trulli, the expanses of olive groves and the white of the ancient hovels stand out in the green Itria Valley and invite discovery.

You can then discover the great and famous cities of LECCE (nicknamed the 'Florence of the South'), the city of architects, stonemasons and artists, the city of baroque and stone embroidery, and BARI with the longest seafront promenade in Italy embellished by majestic palaces and the sea breeze blowing through the old town, guardian of art, flavours and colours.

HOW TO GET THERE

The closest airports to Ostuni are Brindisi airport 30 km away and Bari airport 98 km away, connected to major Italian and international cities.

From Rome, Milan and many other places you can take a fast train to Ostuni and Brindisi. The Ostuni railway station is located outside the town about 2 km from the centre of Ostuni. To reach the centre, just follow the simple directions or take the local bus just outside the station.
