About this property
In the heart of the Puglian countryside close to the medieval town of Oria you will find this stunning masseria. It offers a massive 700 sq m of accommodation divided into 5 distinct spaces.
The main body of the masseria has 4 bedrooms, a large but incredibly cosy living area, a kitchen and two bathrooms. You will find all the fabulous original features of the grand Puglian Masserie including star vaulted ceilings, enormous fire places along with chianche stone flooring in the enchanting central courtyard.
Upstairs is a self contained suite with open plan kitchen and living and fabulous roof terrace with views over the gardens.
There is a an additional ground floor apartment overlooking the swimming pool with two bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and bathroom.
The huge garage with star vaulted ceilings offers lots of potential to develop into more bedrooms or a great entertaining space.
The central courtyard is the heart of the masseria and is the perfect spot for long lazy lunches and magical evenings dining under the stars. A wide arch leads through to the stunning mosaic pool which measures 13 m x 7 m. There are several other storage rooms with star vaulted ceiling and a large pizza oven.
Your very own private chapel completes this incredible property.
The medieval stone walled gardens to the rear are full of mature fruit trees, with something delicious always in season. There is also a wonderful olive grove guaranteeing your own supply of extra virgin olive oil.
The masseria has recently been lovingly renovated but it has by no way reached it's full potential. This property has so much more to give.
