Casa Boccadoro

“The goal of this restoration was clear: to preserve the essence of the place and the region while incorporating contemporary elements,” says Chloé, the owner. Once a simple olive grove with a trullo and a lamia used for storing the harvest, the house underwent a complete renovation in 2020. Two renowned architects from Ostuni were entrusted with the project, which took two years to complete.

Local artisans played a key role in the transformation. “We worked with regional experts skilled in handling iconic materials like the white stone of Lecce,” Chloé explains. Every detail was custom-designed, from the doors to the bathroom fixtures and even the outdoor furniture.

The architecture of Casa Boccadoro stays true to Puglian tradition, with its stone walls and soft, rounded forms. Inside, the décor seamlessly blends vintage furniture with contemporary pieces.

“It’s a space that feels effortless, designed for pure relaxation,” says Chloé. Large windows frame the surrounding nature like living paintings, while the showers offer breathtaking views of the olive and lemon trees. The garden—just as inviting as the interiors—was thoughtfully designed by a landscaper using only native plants. A true extension of the home, it’s the perfect spot to lounge by the pool, whip up local delicacies in the summer kitchen, or simply wander among the olive trees… The very essence of Italian slow living!

Casa Boccadoro is the perfect retreat for families, groups of friends, and couples seeking tranquility. Here, life moves at a leisurely pace—days drift by lounging by the pool, sharing meals under the pergola, and watching the sun set from the rooftop terrace.

Just a few kilometers from the most beautiful villages of the Itria Valley and the coastline, the villa is an ideal base for exploring the region. The concierge curates a list of must-visit spots, from a seaside lunch at Il Principe del Mare to browsing the ceramic shops of Grottaglie and hunting for treasures at the Sunday flea markets.

To elevate the experience, Casa Boccadoro offers personalized services, including grocery delivery, boat rentals, and cooking classes with a local chef. A getaway where the true art of Italian living comes to life.
