Introducing a splendid villa nestled in the classic Apulia region, in the Taranto province of Castellaneta, Italy. This thoughtfully renovated 5-bedroom villa offers an enchanting Italian lifestyle amidst serene countryside landscapes, breathtaking views, and the rich cultural tapestry of rural Italy.
The villa, nestled in the lush greenery of the high Murge plateau, offers the unique blend of country life charm with the convenience of urban amenities. A mere 10-minute drive will take you to Gioia del Colle and Castellaneta, bustling towns replete with local markets, cafes, restaurants, shops, and quaint architecture. Blessed with an excellent location, the property is a 30-minute drive to the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea and between 45 to 75 minutes to Bari and Brindisi international airports.
Standing majestically over 350 sq m, this 5-bedroom country house underwent a luxurious renovation in 2017. Designed to accommodate a large family or run as a B & B business:

Living in Castellaneta offers an immersive experience into Italy's authentic lifestyle. The town is a charming spectacle of rich history, ancient architecture, and passionate locals. Here, the cultural heritage is as rich as the delightful local gastronomy, featuring Matera bread, Capocollo of Martina Franca, Burrata cheese from Andria, and an array of exquisite wines from the region.
The climate in this part of Italy is typically Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. With an average of 10-11 hours of sunshine per day from June to August and 4 hours even in the winter months of December through February, the weather is congenial throughout the year.
Living in a villa like this lets you tap into a luxurious sense of privacy while being part of a vibrant community. You get the commodious living spaces, the tranquil views from expansive windows, the joy of wandering through your private garden, and the opportunity to put your stamp on it.
While the villa is perfect for a serene, relaxing retreat amidst nature, adventure is never too far away. Places of global interest, such as the trulli houses of Alberobello, the ancient town of Matera, the sandy beaches of Ionian sea, and the beautiful white town of Ostuni, are all within a short drive from the villa.
The neighboring city, Gioia Del Colle, famous for its burrata cheese, mozzarella, and Primitivo red wine, offers a quintessential southern Italian experience, with its vibrant markets, lively street life, and congenial locals. Apart from the local delights, the town also takes pride in its castle, rich architecture, and numerous good restaurants.
The property market in Apulia offers tremendous value for money, especially for overseas buyers, with investment showing potential for considerable growth. This is due to a combination of factors such as massive infrastructure investments, improved motorways, expanded airports, and the introduction of low-cost airlines.
