Real estate in Puglia: out-of-the-ordinary projects for a dreamy life
Puglia, a wonderful region rich in vegetation and breath-taking landscapes, has a warm climate and is amazing in every season: it offers warm winters and long summers, while autumn and spring are also enchanting.
Have you ever considered purchasing real estate in Puglia? It’s a good opportunity to see it with your own eyes.
Living in this region is a true privilege: everything is imbued with a sense of history and tradition that tells a story of ancient times.
Architecture, for example…
Puglia’s traditional trulli provide remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in the Itria Valley. Trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built using corbelled limestone slabs (called “chiancarelle”); still today, these are obtained by smashing stone blocks by hand, exactly as they would have been 300 years ago. UNESCO decided to recognise these buildings as being of outstanding universal value, exceptional examples of a form of construction derived from prehistoric building techniques that have survived intact and fully-functioning into the modern world.
Puglia’s masserie, or traditional farmhouses, are the best way to experience the authenticity of the region. They were once the centre of vast areas of land dedicated to cultivation and grazing, providing residences for the landowners and their employees during the summer months. Today, many masserie have been restored and converted into restaurants and small charming hotels. Ideal for those who like to immerse themselves in nature in search of peace and relaxation, the masserie in Salento and the Puglia countryside characterise and make the landscapes of the region unique.
Puglia has many examples of sumptuous houses, noble palaces and mansions, decked out in the grandiose Baroque splendour of the 17th century, witnesses to the region’s rich past. These elegant houses enrich the landscape, making Puglia a place to linger in order to fully appreciate its beauty. These buildings are particularly common in the Itria Valley, in the towns of Ostuni and Cisternino: a fantastic area, it boasts a landscape made up mainly of olive groves and orchards and is also close to the sea, lending it an even more exceptional quality.
