Nestled in the scenic outskirts of Martina Franca, a quaint yet vibrant town in Taranto, Apulia, Italy, this unique 1-bedroom house presents itself as a distinctive opportunity for those looking to embrace both the tranquility of rural Italy and the engaging lifestyle of a bustling community.
Martina Franca, known for its Baroque architecture and bustling market days, is part of the picturesque Valle d'Itria, renowned for its trulli – traditional Apulian dry stone huts with conical roofs. The residence itself features one of these iconic structures, blending local heritage with practical living spaces. Constructed primarily from stone, the property consists of two units: the main living area, which includes a cozy living room with a welcoming fireplace, a functional kitchen, two bedrooms (one being a pass-through enabling access to the bathroom), and a separate masonry structure presently used as a storage area.
