In Puglia, on the border with the Itria Valley, a stately 18th-century stone villa is for sale, featuring a large external veranda with chianche flooring—an ancient type of extremely hard Apulian limestone paving, very common in the Murge, Trulli, and Salento areas—and approximately 6,000 sq m of land to be used for a garden and swimming pool. From the property, it is possible to reach the most important tourist centres in Puglia such as Bari (44 km), Polignano a Mare (21 km), Castellana Grotte (4 km), Alberobello (13 km), Monopoli (21 km), Savelletri (34 km), Cisternino (32 km), and Ostuni. The property consists of an 18th-century manor house and another stone building. The villa, having a rectangular layout, develops over two levels of 220 sq m each, and the upper floor can be reached via an internal stone staircase. On the ground floor is the living area composed of a dining room with a monumental fireplace, a kitchen with a barbecue, two bathrooms, a grand reception room for parties with a raw stone ceiling that in the past served as a stable, a small sitting room, and finally the stairwell, which also provides access to a cellar on the lower ground floor. The sleeping quarters, on the upper floor, consist of a reading room, 4 bedrooms, one of which has a fireplace, and a bathroom. The other building is a two-level structure, also in stone, of 40 sq m. The property is surrounded by 5,000 sq m of land and an external parking area with chianche flooring of approximately 70 sq m. This prestigious villa is also equipped with an independent heating system and solar panels installed on the terrace of the main building. Considering its dimensions, position, and high historical value, the villa is suitable for use as a prestigious private residence or as a luxury tourist-accommodation business.
