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 we will share here soon. If you would like to come and see it, write to us.
