This property, which is in need of renovation and consists of a main villa and two outbuildings to provide 4 bedrooms in total includes ½ acre of land is located just outside the village of Serranova, some 3km from the sea 5km from all amenities at San Vito dei Normanni and 20 minutes from Brindisi airport.

The property has a main villa of 67m2, plus a veranda of 15m2, and two smaller outbuildings. The accommodation of the villa currently comprises of a spacious living room with fireplace and open plan kitchen area, a large double bedroom with bathroom ensuite, a second bathroom and a small storage room. It would be possible to change the floor plan to allow for a second bedroom. There is a large patio area outside the villa of 30m2. The two outbuildings could be converted into two self-contained one bedroom units and used for holiday lettings or for visiting family & friends. The smaller outbuilding of some 12m2 could create 1 bedroom and a bathroom. The larger outbuilding of some 22m2 has one bedroom, one bathroom, a storage room, plus a pizza oven. It would be possible to renovate the two outbuildings as two one-bedroom units and make one summer kitchen. A separate drive-in could be made for the two units. Behind the bigger one is a water reservoir which could be turned into a swimming pool. This could create two letting units and provide privacy between the villa and the two units. The garden of approximately 2,000m2 has mature trees for this wonderful shade during hot summer days. Excavation for a pool of 10 x 4 metres has been made. The fenced garden borders on two sides to open fields. Located at the cross roads the country lanes take you easily to all locations and the new train track flyover means minutes only to the local village. Excellent value.

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.
