Located in the historic centre of Oria, this property combines authentic Mediterranean architecture with outdoor living spaces. The estate includes a main residence, a guest apartment with garden and terraces, and a garage with an adjoining unit on the ground floor. It represents an exclusive opportunity for buyers seeking a residence in a picturesque medieval town. 

The main residence is on the first floor and spans 167 sqm on a single level. Interiors preserve the character of local architecture with star, barrel and lunette vaults, some adorned with delicate frescoes. Minimal modern furnishings complement the historic features.

The area provides panoramic views over Oria’s castle, the cathedral dome, and the rooftops of the old town. A notable historic element is preserved in the garden: a section of the colonnade from the former Celestine convent, adding prestige to the property. 

On the same level, a 24 sqm guest apartment is fully equipped with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, suitable for family, friends or tourism rental.

Approximately 200 metres from the residence, the property also includes a 42 sqm garage with an electric shutter and a small bathroom. Next to it is an 80 sqm ground-floor unit with commercial potential, currently requiring renovation.
