About Living Apulia
Living Apulia, LAP, is a boutique international real estate agency in Puglia, Italy. Our real estate listings are truly unique Apulian properties which have been already renovated or have yet to be realized to their fullest potential. Living Apulia offers properties for sale in Puglia from masserias to trulli, palazzi to seaview villas, and land for building your dream home. We personally handhold you through the entire buying process. Our international clientele relies on us for our local expertise and hand selected trusted partners (architects, developers, geometre, English speaking international tax accountants and lawyers) who will make your property dream come true. We also offer a selection of luxury holiday villas to rent for those of you exploring Southern Italy.
The Pesch Family
The Pesch family discovered their love for Puglia, Italy in 2006. German by origin, we have been fortunate to have enjoyed decades of traveling the globe and lived across Europe, South Africa, and the USA. When we discovered our never ending love for Puglia we committed to living in Southern Italy all year round. International real estate is in our DNA, with generations of experience, and so we bring our passion and expertise to Apulia, Italy.
We hope that the Apulian way of life brings you as much happiness as it does to us, savoring the simple pleasures in life. Our values are rooted in the appreciation for Puglia’s ancient fruitful land, sustainable living, and cultural history.
