Villa à Vendre à Monopoli

Just 200 metres from the sea, precisely in Capitolo, Monopoli, the seaside area where the Adriatic coastline alternates between small beaches and stretches of pale rock, while olive groves and dry-stone walls rise towards the hills of the Itria Valley, this splendid white villa stands among homes surrounded by greenery. The property, measuring approximately 285 square metres over three levels connected by both staircase and lift, occupies a plot of around 1,200 square metres, approximately 900 of which are devoted to the garden, while from the panoramic terrace the view reaches the Adriatic beyond the tops of the palm trees. The garden is what truly distinguishes this property. It is the result of constant care and carefully considered botanical choices, creating a succession of different settings while preserving the Mediterranean character of the surroundings. The pale stone entrance driveway winds past dragon trees, agaves and bottle-trunk trees; further on, a gravel garden opens up with columnar cacti and silvery yuccas, while pebble mosaic slabs with floral motifs cross the lawn towards a centuries-old olive tree with a sculptural trunk. Among palms, prickly pears, bougainvillea and banana plants, a series of green rooms unfolds, separated by dense hedges, with a hammock suspended between two palm trees, a built-in barbecue area beneath a white wooden gazebo and a stone changing room. At the centre, the 5-by-11-metre swimming pool, bordered by a stone sun terrace, remains sheltered by the vegetation and protected from view. On the ground floor, measuring approximately 150 square metres, the living area unfolds as a single bright open-plan space, with a wood-beamed ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden, where the lounge and dining table share the light and views of the lawn and palm trees. Wide-plank natural wood parquet continues into the dining room, furnished with sage-green sideboards, and into the kitchen, where lacquered cabinetry in the same tone frames a peninsula clad in backlit stone. Antique carved doors mark the transition to the more private area of this floor, which includes a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dual views over the greenery, as well as a guest bathroom with a stone basin set on a solid-wood countertop, serving the living area. The lower level, measuring approximately 130 square metres and with independent access from the garden, is entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters. From the lounge with a stone fireplace, full-height display cabinets and pale stone flooring, three bedrooms can be reached, each featuring walk-in wardrobes, arched niches and parquet flooring, served by three bathrooms; the principal bathroom combines a whirlpool bath, multifunction shower, black mosaic walls and a long solid-wood vanity with two stone basins. The arrangement across independent levels makes the house suitable for a variety of uses, from family life to entertaining and accommodating friends. The lift reaches the first floor, where a laundry room opens onto a furnished terrace with pergolas, from which the sea can be seen beyond the palm trees and white rooftops. The villa is equipped for year-round living, with air conditioning, radiator heating, PVC double-glazed windows, alarm and video-surveillance systems, and a carport with an electric vehicle charging station. Here, one may choose to live permanently, just a few minutes from the historic centre of Monopoli, enjoying the bright days of spring, mild autumns in the garden and winter walks by the sea, or make it a retreat to return to at weekends and during holidays. For those considering an investment, the swimming pool, garden, four bedrooms and proximity to the sea meet the most demanding expectations of the luxury holiday rental market, in an area that attracts international travellers well beyond the summer season. It is rare to find, just a few steps from the Adriatic, a mature garden, a swimming...
