Casa Andrea — a restored five-bedroom stone villa in San Vito dei Normanni, Puglia

Stay with us

Casa Andrea

Find your way in.

The dining room of Casa Andrea — an antique carpenter's workbench found at a brocante, now the dining table under a glass top, the restored wooden entrance door beyond, Puglia.

The Interior

Five bedrooms, a vaulted dining room, an open living room — walked through room by room.

Step inside
Casa Andrea at dusk — the lit pool, the centenary olive and the summer kitchen under its pergola, the grove beyond, Puglia.

The Exterior

A pool the length of the courtyard, a summer kitchen under the pergola, one olive tree at the centre.

Step outside
The olive grove around Casa Andrea — rows of century-old olive trees on red earth under a wide blue sky, Puglia.

Questions, gently asked

Things people
ask us first.

  • Can we rent the whole villa?

    Only the whole villa. Five bedrooms, ten guests, one olive tree at the centre. Casa Andrea is never split between parties. Minimum stay is three nights throughout the year — five nights in July, August and over New Year.

  • Is Casa Andrea open?

    Yes — she opened in June 2026, after three winters of restoration, and is welcoming guests now. The enquiry form is open for this season and the next.

  • How far from the sea?

    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.

  • Is the internet good enough to work from?

    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.

  • Can you help us plan experiences while we're here?

    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.
