Regional Redevelopment Initiative.
We source local funding and regional incentives to support the restoration and renewal of historic properties from traditional masserie to community-led projects like the mini-pia (up to 60% of funding to meet the cost of restoring a period building).
From finding your perfect property to overseeing every detail of design and construction, we make the path to your Puglian home effortless, personal, and inspiring.
Welcome to your Italian sanctuary.
