Oria, Apulia 72024

In Oria's historic centre, along the atmospheric route leading to the ancient synagogue in the old Jewish quarter, this 18th-century palazzo portion offers 170 sq m of walkable interior space (around 140 sq m on the main floor) and an outdoor feature that is genuinely rare in an old town: 209 sq m of panoramic terraces, with roughly 190 sq m on a single level. The arrival is memorable-an entrance hall with a dramatic split staircase: the central flight opens directly onto the main terrace, while two symmetrical stairways rise to an elegant arcaded loggia. Inside, a grand hall is distinguished by a vaulted ceiling with a central coat of arms, setting the tone for a home where heritage is part of daily life. The layout has been started with hospitality in mind: two generous ensuite bedrooms open towards the terrace and the town skyline. From the terrace you also reach a large independent suite with kitchen, bathroom, dining area and a bedroom featuring a hydromassage tub-ideal for a premium guest stay or private quarters. At street level, an additional room with direct access can become an extra bedroom or practical storage for bikes and equipment. Renovation has already begun, with new systems in place to be completed. A building filing will be required to finish works or reorganise the interior. As this is the historic centre, façades cannot be altered and no new external openings can be created. About Oria: with nearly 3,000 years of history, Oria is one of Puglia's most characterful hill towns-authentic, walkable and rich in heritage, yet within easy reach of the region's key attractions. It's well positioned for Brindisi Airport and also accessible from Bari, while both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts can be reached for day trips, along with many of Puglia's best-known towns and cultural routes. Oria has fewer than 20,000 residents, and this can be relevant for foreign retirees looking at Italy's 7% tax regime for pensioners who transfer their tax residence to eligible southern municipalities (subject to requirements and personal circumstances).
