This wonderful property, just two steps away from the white marble main piazza, dates back to the early 1800s and it has been beautifully renovated by a talented Italian interior designer. It boasts typical star vaulted ceilings and a roof terrace of 70 Sqm with sea view. The entrance to the property is from a quiet street.
Entrance opens onto the star vaulted ceiling living area with a working fireplace under a white marble arch. The area can be used as living and dining room as it is combined with an essential kitchen space in the alcove to the left. Kitchen attachments are also present both in the living room and in the fireplace area.
The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a larger separate family bathroom has been added. The original smaller bedroom has been maintained by the designer on the slightly lower level.
The property is characterised by a wonderful roof terrace, a space to relax or entertain enjoying the lovely sea view. Four steps from the master bedroom lead to the roof terrace and the adjacent small courtyard which can also be used as laundry area. The roof terrace space is equipped with electricity and water supply.
Doors and windows are handmade locally and the property comes partly furnished according to the Puglia original taste. 
Free on street parking is outside the property and a public carpark is a few minutes away.

The property is in Carovigno old town whose bright main piazza is characterised by lots of local “trattoria”, a Michelin star restaurant and newly opened wine bars and eateries. The nice piazza leads to the Norman castle, Dentice di Frasso, hosting events like wine tasting and ideal for an evening stroll.
Enjoy life in Carovigno by socialising with Italian neighbours, having a long break in the main cafès and enjoying music festivals and weekly street markets! What’s more Carovigno is only 6km away from Ostuni, the beautiful “città bianca”, located on top of a hill and characterised by shops, bars and restaurants. Beaches are just 10minute walk and Brindisi airport is an easy 25minute drive.
