About this property

Montesardo sits at 180 metres above sea level in the southernmost tip of Puglia, ringed by Messapian walls that predate the Roman Empire by several centuries. This fully renovated 90 m² detached house in the historic centre has two street entrances off Via Torre, stone barrel vaults that were genuinely restored rather than cosmetically touched up, and enough architectural character to make a design magazine editor weep quietly into their espresso.

The ground floor delivers a generous living room with sitting area, office corner, and an authentic period fireplace framed by those vaulted ceilings. A second room serves as dining room with kitchenette, two lateral arches, and ancient niches uncovered during the renovation. Upstairs, a spacious double bedroom connects to a functional mezzanine, ideal for storage or an extra sleeping spot, with bathroom and hallway completing the layout.

Sold furnished with handcrafted pieces in recycled antique teak, the house also comes with smart working cabling, an alarm system, heat pump cooling, methane heating with steel radiators, and an auxiliary water pump for summer. Both the Ionian and Adriatic coasts are minutes away. At €120,000 for a move-in-ready Salento stone house, the numbers are almost as striking as the vaults.
