2 Bed Apartment for sale
Oria, Brindisi, Apulia, Italy
Full Description
In the old town of Oria, just steps from Piazza Manfredi, this independent apartment occupies the entire first floor, reached via its own private staircase. Vaulted ceilings run through every room in traditional Puglia style, giving the home a character rarely found in newer construction — a full renovation project for anyone drawn to life in an authentic Puglia hill town.
The apartment measures 102 sqm on a single level and comprises an entrance hall opening onto the living room, an additional passage room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a separate dining room and a kitchen. The vaulted ceilings — some cross-vaulted, some star-vaulted — reach up to 4.30 metres in the main room, a defining feature throughout the home. The property needs a full renovation and modernisation: floors, systems and finishes all need replacing, leaving plenty of scope to shape the spaces to your own taste. A small service toilet, currently accessed from the rear balcony, could become — with some reconfiguration — an en-suite bathroom for one of the two bedrooms, by closing off the balcony access and opening a new one from inside the room. From the same balcony, an external staircase leads up to the building's roof terrace, with views stretching across the old town's rooftops to the cathedral's majolica-tiled dome.
The apartment sits just steps from Piazza Manfredi, the heart of local life, with bars, restaurants and parking right nearby. Oria is one of the oldest towns in central Puglia, often described as the gateway to the Salento peninsula. Both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts are around 25-30 minutes by car, and Brindisi airport is roughly half an hour away. Freehold ownership, as standard in Italy — reach out to book a viewing and see the spaces for yourself.
