The Owl House (La Casa Del Gufo) - Bernalda

A small house on three levels, 70 square meters (about 630 square feet) plus two terrace levels with a 360 degree view of the town and the Ionian sea. Located on a quiet street with no through traffic, and ample parking on the nearby church square. Parking is free. The house was restored / redone in 2014, including an exhibition from the early 1800's. Downstairs there is a bathroom with washing machine and shower, a fully-equipped kitchen, a living area with double sofa bed and digital television. Kitchen includes oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and tea kettle, as well as All necessary kitchen utensils. The small storage room contains shelves for storing luggage, an iron and ironing board, and an extra twin bed if needed. There is a mini split air conditioner for heating and heating, but with walls that are thick, the temperature is almost constant year round. Upstairs the loft space area comprises a large bedroom with queen bed, wardrobe, desk and dresser, and space for an extra twin bed, on request. The bedroom overlooks the downstairs area, but has black-out shades, as well as a folding screen Which blocks light from the small balcony.

Upstairs from the bedroom there is a small terrace Which has a private view of the church dome, Which is exceptional When illuminated in the evening. The perfect place for a good glass of Aglianico! (Yes, the church has a bell tower Which rings during the day, but again, with Which walls are two feet thick it Should not be a problem.) Up again to the larger terrace area, where there is a 10 by 10 foot gazebo, barbeque, hose hook-up, and splendid views in every direction. Laundry dries incredibly fast up here. High speed internet is always available via wifi.
