We are pleased to offer this 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom detached country villa with roof terrace and outbuildings, sitting in just under 5 acres of land in the countryside some 11km south of Gioia del Colle, 17km north from Castellaneta, 38km to the Ionian coast, 54km from the Adriatic and 45 minutes from Bari airport. The spacious, newly renovated villa provides some 350m2 of accommodation over three floors. The accommodation comprises one residential suite of one double bedroom, lounge and bathroom on the raised ground floor as well as a large double reception room with fireplace and modern fully fitted kitchen and utility room. Also on the raised ground floor there is a large covered terrace running along one side of the villa with ample room to dine externally. On the first floor you find four spacious double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, access to the roof terrace with marvellous views for miles over the fascinating landscape of the famous Murge plateau at 400 meters altitude. There is a full-sized basement for a gym, yoga, wine cellar, storage, etc. The outbuildings have three rooms, which could be converted to additional accommodation such as two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The garden is fully fenced with numerous decorative stone features and green plants. There are several fruit trees, like figs, cherries and walnut trees whilst the property has direct access to the country lane with double-gated entry. The property is run as a B & B and sleeps ten guests in four bedrooms. The business can be taken over or you can buy the property as a large country residence, fully private and secluded, yet close to two towns; Gioia del Colle to the north (in 10 minutes) and Castellaneta to the south (in 15 minutes). The location is on the famous high plateau Murge and in between the two UNESCO world heritage sites of Alberobello and Matera. It is 30 minutes to the Ionian Sea, 40 minutes to world famous Matera with the Sassi and 40 minutes to the Trulli capital of Alberobello, both UNESCO world heritage sites. The villa is connected to mains electricity and has recently been re-wired, mains water, and central heating by butane gas with a gas container in the garden. Solar panels generate hot water with an 800-litre water tank, located on the roof and a modern septic tank system. An excellent investment at a very reasonable price in order to sell.
Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.
The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.
When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.
The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.
Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’
The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
