The Interior — Casa Andrea, room by room in a restored Puglia villa

The entrance, which is the dining room

You step straight in — no hallway. A vault overhead, the old conical hearth, and the table beneath it: an antique carpenter's workbench, found at a brocante.

The dining room of Casa Andrea in use — an antique carpenter's workbench found at a brocante, now the dining table, with chairs under the white dome vault, the conical plaster hearth beside it, microcement floor, Puglia.

The entrance door seen from the dining room — a restored antique wooden double door with a painted majolica transom, flanked by two built-in niches with wooden shelves holding terracotta jars, microcement floor, Puglia.

The open living room and kitchen of Casa Andrea — a stone bar peninsula with an open shelf for stools to come, the kitchen counter along the wall, two arched glass windows onto the courtyard, a black pendant lamp, microcement floor, Puglia.

The kitchen, the bar, the living room

One open space: a stone bar where the stools will go, the kitchen along the far wall, the living room under two arched windows. No corridor — you move by walking through it.

The master bedroom

Under its own vault: a sculptural freestanding tub set into the room, full-height doors onto the grove. The en-suite carries a double vanity — two sinks, so no one waits.

The master bedroom from another angle — a freestanding sculptural tub by the bed, full-height black-framed glazed doors opening onto the olive grove, microcement floor, Puglia.

The master en-suite bathroom of Casa Andrea — a microcement double vanity with two basins and black wall-mounted taps, a bidet and WC, walls and floor in one warm tone, Puglia.

The guest bathroom of Casa Andrea — a narrow microcement room in a warm tone, a built-in washbasin with a black wall-mounted tap, a black-framed window, a walk-in shower at the far end, Puglia.

The guest room

A bedroom whose bathroom — pictured — also serves as the guest WC off the entrance. Microcement in one warm tone, a built-in basin, a walk-in shower at the far end.

Three en-suite bedrooms

Three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Microcement in one warm tone, a wooden bed, a window onto the grove. The same proportions across all three — no best room, no smaller.

The first en-suite bedroom at Casa Andrea — microcement walls and floor in a warm tone, a wooden bed with white linen, a black-framed window, Puglia.

The second en-suite bedroom at Casa Andrea — the same microcement palette and wooden bed, a black-framed window, Puglia.

The third en-suite bedroom at Casa Andrea — microcement walls and floor in a warm tone, a wooden bed with white linen, an opening to the en-suite with its washbasin, Puglia.

An en-suite bathroom at Casa Andrea with a polished-lime walk-in shower — warm-grey lime walls, hand-trowelled finish, brass tap, terracotta floor, Puglia.

Bathrooms in polished lime

The showers are finished in lime plaster — polished by hand and sealed against water. Walk-in, no door. The colour is not paint; it is in the lime itself.

The independent rooftop office above the living room of Casa Andrea — desk by the window, the pool visible below, the olive grove on the other side, Puglia.

The office, above the living room

A fully independent office with its own stair, above the living room. Two windows at desk height — the grove on one side, the pool on the other. Starlink overhead. Two hours in the morning, then closed.

5Bedrooms, all en-suite, each with its own bathroom.
100Century-old olive trees around the house, one at the heart of the courtyard.
10Guests at full house. Whole-house rental only.
1Independent rooftop office above the living room — Starlink, two windows, two views.

This is the inside. The courtyard, the olive, the pool and the terraces are another walk again — one to discover in person. If you would like to come and see it, write to us.
