We are pleased to offer this lovely 3 bedroom semi-detached villa with roof terrace and sea view, private garden in a secure residential enclave some 5km from Polignano a Mare and the sea, and 45 minutes from Bari airport. The villa forms part of the residential condominium La Macchialunga of 16 units sharing a gated entry, communal drive, tennis court and open green area. The property has a corner position thus offering extra privacy and with a private gate, the driveway leads to a large terraced parking area by the villa. The accommodation comprises a large covered veranda, a living room of some 23m2 with a fireplace, a separate fully fitted kitchen with access directly to the veranda, two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a third bedroom and two shower units. There is an outbuilding of some 24m2 with a storage room of 16m2 with a sink, and a separate bathroom, which could easily be converted into a self-contained guest unit with kitchenette. The villa has an enclosed garden plot of about 750m2, with a well-kept lawn and mature green ornamental plants. Oleander bushes and trees include two olive trees, pine trees, walnut, medlar and lemon trees, and a fig tree. The villa is semi-detached, but it is hardly noticed, and the veranda of 25m2 faces the beautiful garden, fully private and not overlooked. A spiral staircase leads up to the spacious roof terrace of 98m2 with a sea view at a distance and overlooking green fields to the south. Two neighbouring properties have swimming pools, so obtaining a building permit for a private pool should be possible. The property is connected to mains electricity and has a well with an electric pump bringing the water to the kitchen and bathroom, and several water outlets in the garden for irrigation. The kitchen is 7m2 and has a gas cooker with a gas tank outside. All windows have mosquito netting and folding blinds in working order, whilst there is an A/C unit in the living room. The delightful terraces on two sides of the house are 100m2 and there is a further roof covering by the front door through a retractable blind. Polignano a Mare is a town which stays open the whole year round with all amenities and a railway station which goes north to Bari and the airport and south to Brindisi and Lecce. An excellent investment for personal use or even to provide rental income if desired.
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.
