About me

I started going to Puglia in 2009, and when I discovered the beautiful baroque town of Nardò, I felt an instant connection – it was love at first sight. I decided to create a second home here, and as one says, the rest is history.

Having always had a passion for architecture and design, I was particularly captivated when I discovered a stunning 17^th-century palazzo with beautiful vaulted ceilings and views overlooking the old town. And there were more unique properties so I embraced the opportunity and followed my lifelong desire to renovate houses. I work with local architects and use my creativity and interior design know-how to create beautiful spaces.

To me, space is a privilege. Creating sophisticated places, with all the amenities of upscale living while preserving authentic and original architecture, gives me tremendous joy.

It was important for me to work with local architects, builders, and craftsmen, and immersing myself in the local culture, as it allowed me to gain unique experiences and insights.

The locals in Salento are very open-minded, helpful and kind, and it is a joy to work and live with them.  And, of course, the very healthy, traditional cuisine and the gorgeous wines all add to this beautiful part of Italy, which I now call home.
