This charming country house dates back to the early 18th century. A major renovation using the best materials and respecting the original architectural style has turned it into the beautiful luxury estate it is today.
It sits quietly in the countryside between the lively town of Francavilla Fontana and the small medieval town of Oria, which are both within cycling distance.
The property consists of a main building and several annexes, which all have their own gardens or terraces. This makes the property ideal for vacations with large groups of family and friends while respecting individual privacy, and for renting out separate units without sacrificing your own privacy.
It also lends itself to use for cultural events. Inside the main building there is an exceptionally large, tasteful living room with high vaulted ceilings, natural stone floors, and a kitchen with modern equipment and room for eight diners.
From the living room, which is extremely well-lit thanks to the high ceilings and large glass double doors, is a huge terrace protected from the sun and equipped with ceiling fans for cooling the air on hot days. Here there is a typical local wood-burning oven.
It is ideal all year round and for all weather conditions too. On colder or rainy days, you can entertain yourself and your guests in the main building's poolroom or library, or you can workout in the gym.
Upstairs in the main building there are three large stylish double bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings, and each with an en suite bathroom.
Outside there are various beautiful secluded spots to sit in the shade,have a drink or read a book.
The other four double bedrooms, also complete with en suite bathrooms, are located adjacent to the main building and each has its own patio and garden.
The large pool, at a short distance from the buildings to ensure privacy, is ideal for taking a swim, sunbathing and enjoying a drink in the shade of the gazebo. There is also a small soccer pitch and a perimeter walk lined by olive trees.
It is fully fenced and has an automatic gate, ample parking spaces and covered parking for two cars.
This superb property offers traditional style and old-world charm combined with contemporary functionality for everyday life. If you are looking for a serene family home or to run a boutique B&B, this is the perfect place for you.

Buying Real Estate in Italy
1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)
Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.
2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)
The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.
3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)
The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.
4. Formalities to be observed after Completion
Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
