Charming Period Villa In The Heart Of Ostuni

This charming period villa for sale has been recently converted into an elegant boutique hotel in the heart of Ostuni, one of Puglia's most renowned tourist destinations, not far from Brindisi.

Located just 900 meters from the old pedestrian town center of the city of Ostuni, made extraordinarily fascinating by its white colors and the kilometers of beaches nearby, this estate is 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, in which it is easy to indulge in pleasant walks in typical lush vegetation, and then find refreshment in the shade of majestic palm trees, pines and centuries-old oaks, between mullioned windows and agaves that enhance its intrinsic beauty.

Water is the dominant element here, thanks to the beautiful fountains and waterfalls that adorn the centuries-old park, offering a relaxing view, and again in the property's big central swimming pool, which is surrounded by spectacular sculptures.

Built in 1850 and subsequently enlarged 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 concentrated in the elegant baroque-style living room, which is flanked by various lounges, a big kitchen with a pantry, some utility rooms, a spacious room that is ideal for receptions and meetings, and a huge dining room overlooking a square of white Apulian stone, with a beautiful fountain in the middle that is surrounded by flower beds and a lawn.

The twelve comfortable bedrooms all share a great stylistic research in the name of luxury, while maintaining sober and elegant furniture. Each room is a design treasure chest where we can admire the preciousness of the fabrics, the beauty of period furniture and a selection of art objects. In the background, splendid walls embellished with works of art and trompe-l'oeil signed by painter Fulvio Massi. Those located on the lower and first floors of the villa offer access to the terrace and the shaded gazebo overlooking the park and the swimming pool area, an ideal corner for a hearty breakfast among the scents of nature.

To crown the structure, not far from the villa we find a building with two apartments for staff, a garage, a warehouse, some technical rooms and a large parking area for about 100 cars.
