This charming and recently renovated 2-bedroom country house is
located in the countryside of Latiano, some 3km from the town,
and the same distance from Oria, and about 25km from Brindisi
and the Adriatic coast. The main property consists of the main
living room with well renovated, vaulted ceiling and a newly-
built extension providing 4 rooms in total. There is an entrance
into the living area, with traditional fi replace, dining area with
corner kitchen, master bedroom, study corner, single bedroom and
bathroom with shower. Outside, there is an additional bathroom
and storage room, whilst at the rear entrance to the house, there
is a newly built veranda with tiled roof which has lovely views
over the garden and is an ideal place for al fresco dining. The
property has gas-fuelled underfl oor heating, and air conditioning.
The property sits in a fenced garden of some 6,500sqm (about 1.5
acres) of land which has secular olive trees, fruit trees (including
citrus, fi g, walnut and ornamental) as well as a separate additional
olive grove of some 3,500sqm. The property is being sold
furnished. Energy Classifi cation – “G”. Ref 3807.24 ITALIA! November 2016Buyers of all budgets are likely
to find something that suits them
in Puglia. Small country homes
needing restoration start at an
astonishingly low €30,000 – but
are likely to require more than
this amount to restore them, of
course. Simple, modern-built
two-bedroom villas get going at
about €70,000, and three-beds at
about €100,000. Modern-built
two-bedroom apartments in seaside
locations start at about €100,000,
as do old rural houses with land. For€250,000 you might choose from a
seaside villa, a three-bedroom home
with a pool near a fashionable old
town, or a nice old country house.
Upward from here, properties
obviously get progressively larger
or more luxurious. Puglia’s stately
farmhouse-mansions (masserie) start
at about €400,000, and go upward
from here into the millions.KNOW YOUR WAY ROUND
As you’d expect, property prices
vary across different parts of Puglia,
reflecting the general appeal and
popularity of the area. For foreign
buyers, the least popular section ofthe region is its northwestern half
- say, from Bari upwards. Northern
Puglia (the area around Foggia) has
a relatively flat and ‘uninteresting’
landscape, although the ankle-spur
of the Gargano Promontory is a
wonderful, unspoilt area of dramatic
highlands and glorious coast, all
protected as National Parkland.
South and east of Bari, the lower
half of Puglia forms the Salento
Peninsula – the actual high heel
sticking out from the bottom of
Italy’s boot. This is the area that
has seduced foreign buyers for the
past dozen years. Initial interest
centred on the lovely Itria Valley
countryside, with its abundant cone-
topped trullo dwellings, and on the
Upper Salento area in general. But
then eyes turned further south, to
the cliffy seaside delights of Lower
Salento and the very bottom parts
of the peninsula. Today, both Upper
and Lower Salento remain justifiably
popular with overseas buyers.

property hotspots. He says, “The
