Ostuni, Puglia 074012

Italy

This breath-taking property is nestled amongst the ancient olive groves of Ostuni, overlooking the sea. The villa has been created through the renovation of an old farm building and an extension sympathetic to the old construction. There is a large living area with veranda with spectacular views of the coast. The large, bright living room also has a glass double-faced fireplace, which can be admired both from the living room and the master bedroom. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The property has some wonderful old features thanks to the original stone farm building. In the villa there are a further two bedrooms and bathroom in the new extension, and in the ancient Saracen-style trullo where there is a central room with two alcoves, two queen-sized beds have been placed, just as they would have been used in the olden days. This central room leads to the large kitchen. There is a barbeque area with wood fired pizza oven for summer outdoor cooking and entertainment. Along from the barbeque area, there is an outdoor bathroom and storage area. Across the yard from the villa, following a small track one reaches the Trullo, which has been skilfully renovated. There is a living area with fire-place, dining room, bright kitchen, two double bedrooms, and bathroom, along with a laundry room. The gardens are beautifully laid out, with a mixture of lawn and fruit trees, leading onto a large 'D' shaped infinity pool. The large two hectare plot also has a photovoltaic panel system, giving âfreeâ power to the property, the excess being sold onto the national grid. There is an electric gate at the entrance to the property, an alarm system connected to the local security company, home automation system and artesian well.
