Two hectares of garden, five minutes from the Ionian beaches, and a house divided into four self-contained units. The layout tells you plainly what it was set up to do.
What you get
On the Italian cadastral count this house has seven rooms. That count takes in living rooms and bedrooms and leaves out bathrooms and hallways, so keep it in mind when you compare this with a listing at home.
Across the four units there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, 134 square metres in all, energy class D and in good condition. Around the house, twenty thousand square metres — two hectares — of kept garden.

Where it is
Boncore is a hamlet of Nardò, in the countryside towards Torre Lapillo. The Ionian beaches are five minutes away by car.
The property is often described as Porto Cesareo because the beaches people use are there, but the planning office, the council tax and the tourist letting rules all follow Nardò.
Questions buyers ask
Is the property in Nardò or in Porto Cesareo?
Nardò, and the distinction reappears every year on the F24 payment form: IMU and the refuse charge are set by Nardò and paid under Nardò’s cadastral code for the comune. A payment made under the Porto Cesareo code reaches the wrong council and has to be reclaimed from it, which takes longer than getting it right the first time.
What can be done with two hectares of land?
That depends on how the land is classified, and the document that states the classification is attached to the deed whenever land is sold. The only exemption is a plot that serves a registered building and stays under 5,000 square metres, and two hectares is over that limit, so the certificato di destinazione urbanistica comes with this sale in any case. We obtain it. The designation it carries is what sets the building rights: on land classified as agricultural they are narrow, and tied to who the owner is as much as to what the owner wants. A pool, a carport or an outbuilding each needs its own permission on top of that. The comune has thirty days to issue the certificate, and it holds good for a year unless the planning instruments change in the meantime.
Does it work as an income-producing holiday let?
The layout is right for it, and the four units are what settles the tax treatment, not the yield. Short letting beyond the second unit is treated as a business, which brings a VAT number and obligations quite different from the flat-rate route open to a single holiday home. The count is normally taken per owner, across everything you let, and not building by building, but it is worth putting to a commercialista before you plan around it. Before anything can be advertised in Puglia there are two codes and they come in order: the regional CIS, applied for on the Puglia portal, then the national CIN, which has to appear in every listing and be displayed at the property. The yield itself comes from the comune letting rules, the planning compliance of the four units, and the occupancy the area really reaches month by month. An irregularity in the division is the one that stops the operation rather than trimming it, so we check it first. Settle the regime before completion, because it also decides who signs the letting contracts.
