1 bedroom townhouse in Ostuni, Puglia.

Quiet Street with Free Parking 3 Mins Walk from the Main Square and Centro Storico
Sleeps 2 (1 Bedroom)
|
|
Located in the very heart of Ostuni but in a quiet street, our townhouse has been lovingly restored by a local architect. It has retained all of the unique, original features including beautiful vaulted stone ceilings, but also incorporates all mod cons. We have furnished luxuriously throughout to an opulent standard for our guests to enjoy and to compliment the high quality restoration work. The terrace and bedroom offer stunning views over the roof tops of Ostuni, the Centro Storico and to the sea beyond. An amazing abundance of restaurants, cafes and shops are all within a short walk of the house. Beautiful beaches are a 10 minute drive away and the very pretty towns of Cisternino and Martina Franca are easily accessible. The townhouse is suitable for all year living as it is warm and cosy in winter but is lovely and cool during the hot summer months with fitted mosquito nets to all windows and doors for added comfort.
