Description
PUGLIA - GRAVINA IN PUGLIA (BA) - VIA ABBRAZZO D'ALES
The Palazzo Sottile Meninni, dating back to the 15th century, is a magnificent historic building located in the picturesque landscape of the ravines, just 25 km from Matera and 70 km from the golden beaches of the Ionian Sea. Positioned in the heart of Gravina in Puglia, adjacent to the medieval Rione Piaggio, this property represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to own a piece of history in a rapidly expanding tourist destination.
With a surface area of over 3,500 square meters distributed over six main levels, the Palace offers splendid panoramic views of the surrounding ravines. The property comprises various spaces, including rustic rooms with picturesque views of the medieval village, a reception area, internal parking and sumptuously decorated main floors with vaulted ceilings and historical paintings.
The first noble floor, covering approximately 740 square metres, houses 12 large rooms characterized by vaults up to 6 meters high, some of which are decorated with paintings by the acclaimed Neapolitan artist Ferdinando Guerra from the mid-19th century. This floor also includes three bathrooms and service areas, maintaining the original finishes and being in good condition.
On the second floor, there is a bright apartment of over 500 square meters, together with rooms dedicated to one of the two accommodation facilities in the building. This apartment features vaulted ceilings, large verandas, luxurious bathrooms and a laundry area, all meticulously maintained with excellent finishes.
The Palace also hosts two BBs offering a total of 9 double bedrooms and 2 suites distributed between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Each room has a private bathroom and enjoys independent access via stairs and a lift. The third floor boasts a large terrace with a swimming pool and panoramic solarium, offering guests breathtaking views.
In addition to the spaces described above, the property also includes an underground part currently used by the Gravina Sotterranea organization. This additional element offers an additional historical and tourist dimension to the property.
Potential property improvements and renovations could benefit from regional funds, which offer non-repayable grants of up to 70% of the investment through initiatives such as the PIA Tourism program.
