Description
In the heart of Locorotondo's Old Town is this Noble mansion located, combining prime location living with history. Take a dive into the 19th century and imagine yourself on the terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of the old town's main square beyond the arch of your courtyard, where the horse carriage used to be parked.
This is a spacious townhouse, with 8 rooms over a net floor area of 239 sqm, and a garage. On the first floor, you step into the ballroom-like living room with a high star vaulted ceiling, which leads you into two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen. A modernised flight of stairs leads up to two rooms on the second floor, the so called "cummerse", characteristic for Locorotondo, with sloping, stone tiled roofs. From here, you step out onto the spacious roof top terrace where you can enjoy an unspoilt 360 degree panorama of the historical rooftops and church towers. An adjacent "cummerse" could serve as a kitchen for summer parties on the rooftop.
The house is fully habitable, but in need of some modernising. There is heating, hot water and electricity.
LOCATION:
The property is located in the hilltop town of Locorotondo, recently listed as "one of the most beautiful villages in Italy".
The town has an excellent supply for all shopping needs, and here you find charming cafes/bars and excellent restaurants. There are also several butchers, fishmongers, and fruit & vegetable shops. Locorotondo is a Medieval town with a round-shaped Old Town centre and is famous for its music festival in August and for its incredibly beautiful Christmas decorations.
The distance to the nearest beaches is about 20 km (30 minutes) to popular Torre Canne, with a lovely sandy bay, and Savelletri, a small charming fishing village. Here, it is nice to take a pre-dinner stroll along the shore, have a drink at a terraced seaside bar and dine at one of 10 restaurants serving fresh seafood, fish and locally sourced vegetables.
The property has the advantage of being centrally located between areas of interest such as the amazing mile-long amazing caves of Castellana Grotte the archaeological excavations of the Roman Egnatia by the Adriatic coastline the Trulli houses of Alberobello - a Unesco World Heritage site: the beautiful white town of Ostuni, located on top of a hill with fantastic sea views the medieval town of Oria the wealthy baroque town of Martina Franca the Zoo Safari Park of Fasano (lots of fun for children and adults alike) the old town by the sea and caves of Polignano a Mare, well known also for its tasty ice-cream Grottaglie famous for its ceramics and ancient stone carvings the famous baroque city of Lecce which is called the Florence of the south. Matera, another Unesco World Heritage site, the world-famous Cliff City, is not located in Puglia but just across the borders to Basilicata. The drive there is only about 1 hour 20 minutes, and a fascinating tour awaits you.
By air, there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet, Ba and others, both easily reached by the motorway Bari in the north in about 65 minutes and Brindisi in about 50 minutes in the south. Both cities have ferry traffic to Greece, Albania and Croatia, so it's possible to make weekend trips across the Adriatic Sea.
The Weather:
Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than Northern Italy even in the "winter months" of December to February, the average number of sun hours per day is four and 10-11 sun hours per day in June-August! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia. When you plan to buy a holiday home in Apulia, think you will spend much more time outside than inside that home. Therefore you will need plenty of terrace space, pergolas etc. At your Apulian property and also cooking facilities outside is very practical.
The water temperature at the beginning of May averages 19 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November. This means you & family will spend time at the beach. Wherever you are in Apulia, you can reach the shores within 30 minutes!
Why Buy In Apulia?
Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venice and the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia and inadequate means value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia. In our opinion, investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand for northern Italians, as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. But rest assured, no tourist villages will ever be built because the coastline is protected in Apulia, and people are against modern developments that do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, prices are bound to rise with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties,
