Situated on a delightful elevated plot of about 1.25 acres (5,000m2), the House on the Hill is less than 10 minutes by car from each of the charming old towns of Ceglie Messapica and Ostuni (the famous ‘White City’). It is about 13 km from the nearest beach, and both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts are easily accessible. The property is a traditional lamia (trullo with truncated cones) which has been sympathetically renovated and extended, fully in keeping with the original building, by our local builder Vincenzo who has a wealth of experience in renovating traditional Puglian properties.
The location is truly stunning: on the side of a hill looking down over the valley and up towards Ostuni on the hill opposite, with a glimpse of the Adriatic in the distance. A large sun terrace outside the building takes full advantage of the tremendous view. The property is reached from its quiet residential lane by a sweeping driveway up to a parking area to one side.
In common with this type of traditional property the walls are very thick, which limits the living space. However, Vincenzo has skilfully maximised the useful space to provide two bedroomed accommodation with a modern kitchen and attractive living room having a traditional alcove off it, as well as an original fireplace. The main bedroom, although under a circular cone, is rectangular in floor plan for ease of furnishing.
This property will appeal to those who want a traditional Puglian trullo/lamia but require a modern high standard of fittings as well as spectacular views.
