San Vito dei Normanni · Puglia
Some places ask you to slow down.
Casa Andrea was rebuilt for that.
Five bedrooms around an olive tree — opening in June.
The House
A nineteenth-century stone casale, restored. Two new wings, built in its language. Together they hold five bedrooms for ten guests, arranged around a single courtyard with one olive tree at its heart.

i.
The original sixty-square-metre dwelling from the late Kingdom of Naples. Its barrel-vaulted master bedroom, its salle à manger under the old vault, its restored stone fireplace. The walls left to speak.
ii.
Three en-suite bedrooms in a new white intonaco wing — each opening onto the courtyard through its own arched door. Tadelakt walk-in showers, bidet in every bathroom, the slow pace of a Pugliese morning.
iii.
Ground floor: salon, séjour and kitchen, open-plan, opening onto the pool. Upper floor: an office perched on the roof, windows on both sides — the olive grove on one, the water on the other.
The house opens in June. If a week sounds like the right shape, write to us — we'll answer slowly, properly.
Between Ostuni's white walls and the Adriatic, on two hectares of red earth shaded by a hundred century-old olive trees, a sixty-square-metre stone dwelling from the Regno di Napoli has slowly become a home for ten.
Three winters of patient work — old walls left to speak, a new wing added in their language.
Casa Andrea opens its doors in June 2026.
The Place
Casa Andrea sits in the gentle hills above San Vito dei Normanni, in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, on two hectares of red earth and one hundred centenary olives. Ten minutes one way to Torre Guaceto and the Adriatic; fifteen the other to the white walls of Ostuni.
Questions, gently asked
Only the whole villa. Five bedrooms, ten guests, one olive at the centre. Casa Andrea is never split between parties. Minimum stay is six nights in high season (May to September), three nights in low season (October to April).
June 2026, after three winters of restoration. The first season runs from June through October. The enquiry form is open now for that season and the next.
Ten minutes by car to the Torre Guaceto nature reserve — a protected stretch of dunes, pinewood and unspoilt Adriatic. Sandy beaches at fifteen. The white walls of Ostuni at fifteen the other way; Alberobello and the trulli at forty.
Yes. Starlink throughout the house — fibre-grade speeds, low latency, calls that don't drop. For the curious, there is a small bureau perched on the roof of the new wing, two windows, a desk. Some people end up working there before breakfast.
Yes, on request. Orecchiette with a neighbour, a private chef in the courtyard, a boat from Monopoli, yoga at sunrise, a pizzaiolo lighting the wood oven at dusk. Curation, not a menu — we organise what fits the week you're having.
