Paolo Bartlett — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:47:14 +0000

Set in the beautiful countryside some 4.5km from Carovigno, this charming 2 bedroom 1 bathroom lamia sitting in over 3 acres of land offers an excellent opportunity for renovation and transformation into a private residence or holiday retreat in one of Puglia’s most desirable areas. The property includes an existing structure of approximately 90m2, set within a generous 13,000m2 (about 3.21 acres) plot of land which includes grape vines, mature olive trees, almond trees and a variety of fruit trees. Located just 4.5km from the historic town of Carovigno with all amenities and a short drive from the Adriatic coast, the property combines rural peace with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and local amenities. This is an ideal restoration project with strong potential to create a beautiful country home, summer residence, or rental investment property. The existing structure provides a solid base for development, surrounded by productive and picturesque land. Electricity is already connected and the lamia has a private water tank in place. The Adriatic coast is just a 15 minute drive away, with the villages of Santa Sabina and Villanova both brimming with seafront dining options, whilst Brindisi airport is about 30 minutes away.

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.

The lands are divided by Via dei Calanchi, a seldom used access road to neighbouring properties. The building plot is to the South-East of the road (lot 135 on the photo) comprising of some 600m2 classed for a residential building / garden – there was planning permission to build a property but that has since expired, although there should be no problem in re-applying.

The property could be two apartments of say 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom each, or a single house of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, providing it is kept within the limits detailed above.
