Dominating the landscape between Ostuni and Martina Franca, immersed in the scenery of the Itria Valley, an ancient rural settlement has been transformed into a refined private residence through a carefully executed architectural restoration project.
The property was created by combining three historic stone buildings, originally independent and subsequently brought together through a unified design approach. Carried out with the contribution of skilled local craftsmen, the work has preserved the identity of the original structures, enhancing the geometry of the seventeen cones and the relationship between the buildings and the outdoor spaces.
With a total commercial area of approximately 305 m², the residence comprises five bedrooms, five bathrooms, an additional service bathroom and three kitchens, distributed among the different residential units. The layout offers considerable flexibility for accommodating family and guests, while ensuring independence and privacy.
The interiors retain the character of Apulian rural architecture, with stone flooring, exposed surfaces, niches and handcrafted details. The restoration of traditional elements is complemented by modern amenities, including underfloor heating and air conditioning, making the property comfortable throughout the year.
Outside, approximately three hectares of land encompass an exceptionally beautiful Mediterranean garden, featuring olive trees, mature vegetation, paved courtyards and pergolas covered in wisteria. Pathways between the buildings connect intimate settings and areas designed for entertaining, while the 90 m² infinity pool, entirely clad in stone, blends naturally into the landscape.
The sensitivity that guided the architectural restoration is also reflected in the property’s cultural history, having hosted exhibitions dedicated to contemporary art and creating an engaging dialogue between historical heritage and artistic research.
The harmony among the different residential units, the quality of the garden and the secluded location give the residence a distinctive identity, particularly suited to those seeking a private home with character—one capable of welcoming guests while preserving the authentic charm of Itria Valley architecture.
