Finely-renovated mid-19th-century
This charming period villa for sale, recently converted into an elegant boutique hotel is in the heart of Ostuni, one of Puglia's most renowned tourist destinations, and surrounded by a 1.75-hectare park. The driveway that leads to its late-19th-century romantic gardens is the prelude to a show of iridescent shapes and colors. Water is the dominant element, thanks to the beautiful fountains and waterfalls that adorn the park, and the big central swimming pool, is surrounded by spectacular sculptures. Built in 1850 and expanded in 1911, the villa has kept its structure intact, finely restored in 2010 on its four internal floors. The beating heart of the villa is its the elegant baroque-style living room, flanked by various lounges, a big kitchen with a pantry, some utility rooms, a spacious room for receptions and meetings, and a huge dining room overlooking a square of white Apulian stone. The twelve comfortable bedrooms are all luxurious yet sober and elegant. Those located on the lower and first floors have access the terrace and the shaded gazebo overlooking the park and the swimming pool area. The villa is completed by a building with two apartments for staff, a garage, a warehouse, some technical rooms and a large parking area for about 100 cars. Ref: 6041
