Overview
During the renovation, we moved with gentleness, touching the structure as little as possible, to enhance what already existed and transport those who choose it back in time.
That's why, as was customary in ancient farmhouses, the floors are made of concrete, stone, or old wooden planks, and at the windows, you will not find curtains, but shutters.
There is no wardrobe, replaced by an olive branch reminiscent of the farmer's habit of hanging his jacket on a tree before starting work in the fields.
Dominating is the vivid white of lime, softened by the neutral and gentle tones chosen for the fabrics.
The objects and furniture are from the past, made of natural and reclaimed materials.
The decorations come from the garden, fields, or the beach of San Vito.

Silvana enjoys collecting flowers, twigs, and pieces of wood left by the waves during long walks with Zoe and Gioia, the farmhouse's dogs who can be won over with a biscuit.
The effect we wanted to create is that of minimal spaces, filled with light, with the charm of rural simplicity, in a dimension of local life and ancient habits.
Oleandro
Classic Room
- Max 2 people
- 25m²
Separated from the others and close to the reception, this room was once the farm's henhouse.
The total white of the room melts with the blue of the upholstery and the colors of the flowers and twigs collected in the surrounding fields. The ladder against the wall and the old wooden drawers belong to the ancient peasant tradition, like the old wood stick replacing a wardrobe.
The room has a patio where you can have breakfast in the warmest months and an orchard with olive trees, fig trees, mulberry and cherry trees.
In this room, the windows have interior shutters instead of curtains.
Viola
Superior Room
- Max 3 people
- 30m²
The ancient deposit of the farm tools, on the ground floor, is now a cool room full of light. It has a sofa bed and two wooden night tables restored in their natural colour. A white linen curtain supported by a grape pole descends from the ceiling and wraps the double bed in an intimate embrace. The cushions are on an ancient door of the farm which has become the headboard. The wardrobe is in a nice niche, and old irons, horseshoes and the typical wooden table “capretta” style are other details for those who can't get enough of tradition.
The bathroom was a hall closet. This is why it is long and narrow, but at the same time graceful and with everything you need, such as a shower and a beautiful stone sink. The semi-arched ceiling makes it unsuitable for tall people.
The room has a patio on the garden.

Rosa
Deluxe Room
- Max 3 people
- 40m²
Once used as a barn, this room on the ground floor is a large space where the canopy bed triumphs, between white and light veils and a solid and unexpected headboard, once an old door fixed to the wall. A nightdress of an old trousseau hangs from the olive branch that serves as a wardrobe.
In the bathroom, the two sinks are in stone, as is the square tub accessible by two small steps.
Outside, the private patio, protected by flower boxes and hedges, opens onto the garden.

Margherita, Ginestra e Gardenia
- Max 3 people

The junior suite on the ground floor has been created where the farmers once lived; the others, on the first floor, are the old master bedrooms.
The white of plaster, the pickled furniture together with soft dots of ecru and grey create harmonious and relaxing environment. The old niches crossed by a thick branch are transformed into small wardrobes. In the bathrooms, the old knurled wooden laundry boards (“stricaturi” in apulian dialect) are now the base of the sink. The outdoor space can have a patio onto the garden or a terrace facing the olive trees or the sea at horizon.
In the junior suites on the first floor, the windows have shutters instead of curtains. The bedrooms receive light from the bathroom or the living room.
Two junior suites on the first floor are interconnected.
Suite
La Suite del Campo
This suite was originally the old sheepfold of the farmhouse.
Today, it is a private suite with a bedroom and a living room with a bio-fireplace.
The private citrus grove surrounding the suite adds a touch of freshness and fragrance to the environment. The small whirlpool pool, created from the ancient watering trough, provides a moment of relaxation and well-being. You can cool off on hot summer days and enjoy a rejuvenating bath.
This suite is perfect for a romantic vacation, where you can spend special moments in complete privacy.
During the cherry blossom season, you can admire a magical and romantic spectacle; their sweet fruits can be tasted directly from the tree, offering a delightful gastronomic experience.
Suite
La Cappella
- 50m²
- max 4 people
In 17th century, this suite was the church of the cloistered nuns who first lived in the farm. Three original frescoes of the time are still here to testify to the existence of the small monastery.
As on a stage, a white linen curtain opens onto the double bed, revealing a part of the fresco decorating the wall. In front of the bed, after the small living room, the scene reveals an unusual niche with the large stone tub and the most important of the three frescoes. It is reflected by a mirror, in this way you can admire it even from the bedroom.
A living room with its fireplace and two sofa beds create an intimate and comfortable place. The scenography ends with a long terrace overlooking the olive trees, the fields and the courtyard of the farm.
The bathroom once was a corridor used by nuns to go to the church. Today there are a large shower and an old zinc basin, now a sink.
In this suite, the windows have internal shutters instead of curtains.
Suite
Suite del Nonno
- 50m²
- Max 3 people
The bedside tables are two illuminated niches, and the secretary desk in front of the bed, made of natural root wood, stands out against the pure white of the walls. Here there is no window, but the room receives plenty of light from the living area and the very large bathroom, with its beautiful built-in bathtub overlooking the salon. Behind the sink, a long linen curtain conceals the sanitary ware.
In the living room, the fireplace is next to the glass door that opens onto the terrace. The view is oriented towards the countryside and the sea in the distance; a pergola creates a cool shelter from the sun's rays.
A must-do: sit on the sofa in front of the fireplace, look up, and contemplate the arches that form a star on the ceiling.
In this suite, the windows have internal shutters instead of curtains.
