Buy a House by the Sea in Puglia: Riva Marina, near Ostuni

Looking for a holiday home on the Adriatic coast of Puglia? Riva Marina is a residential village in Specchiolla (Carovigno), between Ostuni, the White City, and Brindisi. It is one of the areas we know best: our office is a few minutes away, in San Vito dei Normanni.

Why Riva Marina

• By the sea: Riva Marina 1 is about 40 metres from the beach, Riva Marina 2 about 300 metres.
• Everything inside the village: bar, pizzeria, grocery store, tennis and five-a-side pitches, a large swimming pool and parking inside the gates, in about 40 hectares of Mediterranean greenery.
• Easy to reach: by plane to Brindisi (the nearest airport) or Bari, by train to Ostuni or Carovigno, by car via the Bari–Brindisi expressway.
• Close to the best of Puglia: Ostuni, the Itria Valley, the trulli of Alberobello and the Torre Guaceto nature reserve.

What you can buy, and for how much

The village has about 900 villas. Most are single-storey or duplex homes of 50 to 140 m², each with a private garden.

• Villas and duplex villas: currently from about €160,000 to €250,000.
• Semi-detached and corner villas: usually at the upper end, because they have more outdoor space.

Buying in Italy as a foreigner: how it works

1. Tax code (codice fiscale): you need one before making an offer. It is quick to obtain, also from abroad through an Italian consulate.
2. Offer and preliminary contract (compromesso): a written offer with a deposit, followed by a preliminary contract.
3. Deed at the notary (rogito): the notary checks the property and registers the sale. You can attend in person or give power of attorney.
4. Taxes and fees: on top of the price you pay purchase taxes, the notary and the agency fee. The amount depends on your situation: ask us for a written estimate.

We will guide you through every step, from the first viewing to the keys.
