Our Mission
Let Us Handle the Details —
You Embrace the Beauty
At Simply Puglia, we help you discover, design and create your second home in one of Italy’s most captivating regions. Our journey begins with Puglia Experiences — curated stays and cultural immersions that reveal the best of Salento’s architecture, design, food, wine and art.
Led by a British Architect & Designer in partnership with the Puglia Regional Redevelopment Initiative, we source local funding and regional incentives to support the restoration 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).
Welcome to your Italian sanctuary.

A historic sanctuary in nature
A Historic Country Sanctuary in Salento
Once a country house, today a sanctuary of peace. In Salento, a casina was an elegant rural wine estate — the Italian soul of a French château. Built where grapes were once pressed and wine was made, this historic residence has been lovingly transformed into a green oasis, far from the noise of modern life.
This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Warm, welcoming, and rich in history and art, the shared spaces invite connection, while the interiors reflect journeys across eras and cultures. The wellness area, carved from the original wine-pressing rooms, is now dedicated to deep relaxation and renewal.
Set within more than five hectares of living landscape, sensory pathways, organic gardens, and rain-fed pools create a thriving natural ecosystem — a gentle invitation to unwind, reflect, and return to a slower rhythm of being.
Rooms & Suites
12 uniquely designed rooms and suites, each a private sanctuary with:
- Queen or King Size bed & en-suite bathroom
- Air conditioning, in-room safe, kettle, and plush amenities
- Signature features like Juliet balconies, private patios, terraces with outdoor showers, Jacuzzi tubs, and even a private pool suite
Ideal for couples, families, small groups — and perfect for corporate events, team-building retreats, weddings, and celebrations.
- 12 rooms & suites
- Wellness & spa area
- Organic gardens
- Rain-fed natural pools
- Historic wine estate architecture
- Ideal for retreats & weddings
- 5+ hectares of landscape
