A house in the historic centre of Carovigno in the region of Apulia. The historic centre of the town of Carovigno, equidistant from the sea and from the white city of Ostuni, has no reason to be jealous of those of Ceglie-Messapica, Martina-Franca, Cisternino, Francavilla and many others of its illustrious neighbours. It stands in a dominant position on its hill, looking down on fields of thousand-year-old olive trees as well as almond trees, with the sea as a distant backdrop. All cooking enthusiasts on the Salento peninsula are drawn to 'Gia Sotto l'Arco'. Following in its footsteps, numerous restaurants have opened here, offering the best of olive oils, fish, meat, fruit and vegetables as well as local wines. This particular house is 50 m from the clock tower and just a stone’s throw from the Dentice-di-Frasso castle, now the property of the town and used for numerous events throughout the year. The stone from which the house is built comes partly from the medieval ramparts that once defended the town. The odds are that, in addition to the pleasure of living in this perfectly restored house, the investment will be profitable over time, not to mention the possibility of seasonal renting which would provide a comfortable income.

The property is located in a part of Salento near the eastern coast, exactly halfway between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca. The estate consists of multiple buildings, the main one being a historic property: a castle example of medieval fortification, not very large, currently restored according to the principles of conservative restoration required by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, and also adapted to maintain its original architectural morphology as a hospitality structure with luxurious bedrooms. The estate includes three other buildings made of recent constructions from the late 1800s, as well as a dovecote tower from the same period as the castle, which represents an additional trace of the original, more extensive nucleus. All is connected through a park of 12,000 square meters, currently landscaped with equipped green areas where residents and guests can stay, and which also features a swimming pool usable during the warmer seasons. The other two buildings, named Barn and Dovecote, have been adapted to accommodate luxurious rooms with beds and bathrooms, enjoying the park area situated between the medieval original structure. The castle, the main building, on the ground floor hosts large rooms, all furnished with valuable furnishings, a library, and a large kitchen serving as a Guest House for the property, all overlooking an internal courtyard within the walls, where a prestigious covered area with outdoor furniture remains, along with a garden with lawn. Currently, there are 1,800 square meters of usable space, including about 14 rooms with bathrooms.

The remaining rooms, which only need to be furnished, could be converted into another four or five bedrooms with bathrooms to increase the number of rooms available for a boutique hotel offer.
