4 bedrooms trulli, 180 m²

Ostuni, Brindisi (province)

Itria Valley

Completely restored original stone building (trullo) with villa located in the Ostuni countryside just a few kilometres outside the lovely old town centre of Ceglie Messapica.  The tranquil setting of the authentic trullo on a dominant position amidst the olive groves of Puglia makes it ideal for exploring both the picturesque towns of the Valle d'Itria and the beaches of the Adriatic and Ionian coast.   The house offers an immersive taste of Apulian living !
Whether you're relaxing by the pool, dining al fresco late into the night or reading under the shade of an olive tree, life here is both soothing and revitalising.

The house comprises of four original trulli and a villa joined together to create flowing internal spaces.  Access is possible from 3 external doors but for ease of description we shall start at the front of the trullo building.  From here, one accesses the main indoor dining area, which, through an arch, leads out to a fully equipped kitchen from which you can access a lovely and spacious terrace.  From under another arch one arrives at a living area, furnished with comfortable benches and a TV corner.  From here you can access the villa building which consists of a hallway providing access to the outside terrace, three spacious double bedrooms (one used as an office currently), a room with a bunk bed for 2 children and two convenient bathrooms.

The property is surrounded by extensive and well maintained gardens, olive, fruit and ornamental plants and trees.  There is also an irrigated kitchen garden providing fresh vegetables all year round.   The focal point, however, is the splendid large salt water pool, from which magnificent views over the surrounding valley can be enjoyed. The pool measures 11.5 by 5 metres with a depth of 1.80 metres which are comfortable and large dimensions that currently cannot be longer realized.  From here the stairs lead downwards to a large furnished shady panoramic terrace.  Here is the main al fresco dining and outside living area furnished with a large dining table.  To the side of the terrace one can find a convenient outside kitchen complete with barbecue and traditional wood oven.   From the terrace a few steps lead down to the pool technical room and another accommodating bathroom with separate fridge.

The house boasts a long list of accommodating facilities (see list below) and will be sold fully furnished (included in the price - barring personal items, to be agreed).  This includes for instance a number of high quality beds, a large teak bookcase, tableware, a new Bosch washing machine etc.. 

The owners lived in the area for several years.  They own another house in the vicinity and are available to provide help as long as required (to be discussed).  Their experience and network is an added value which shoudn't be underestimated.  They also pride themselves on the fact that the house is in excellent shape and doesn't have any humidity or damp issues (which is often the case with trullo houses).    The house is also habitable all seasons.   The land and gardens are maintained by a local gardener who will/can be available as well after the sale.  

The property also presents a good rental opportunity.   The link to the airbnb platform allows you to read the comments of different nationalities who stayed here before :
