“Addresses Incontournables” in Marie Claire

Marie Claire showcased the wonderful beauty of Salento in their column Adresses Incontournables, also mentioning two projects that are of particular importance to me, Nardòsalento, five vacation apartments I renovated and decorated with love in the historic center of Nardò, and Palazzo Tafuri, a boutique hotel where I was lucky to be the project manager and interior designer in partnership with a great team and Salento architect Claudio Colaci. Both projects have been such an amazing experience, full of creativity and human connection. I always welcome the opportunity to support anyone who is inspired to take on a project in this region.

Supporting the region’s olive fields while reducing our carbon footprint!

We are happy to announce that we recently adopted 40 olive trees through the non-profit organization Olivami. This initiative reflects our commitment to support the region’s olive fields and culture, which have faced significant challenges in the past few years. It also helps us substantially offset our carbon footprint! Olivami has reforested Salento with more than 40,000 new olive trees and this number continues to grow, each day.

Torre colimena Salento Puglia perfect beach destination

Why Puglia is a perfect Italy beach destination (CNN Travel)

A refreshing update on some of Puglia’s best beach destinations on CNN travel, mentioning Gallipoli and Porto Selvaggio (that’s actually Nardò!) on the Ionian coastline. We certainly would add Punta della Suina and Baia Verde south of Galipolli, and Torre Colimena north of Nardò, where a small wooden path brings you to an amazing sandy beach surrounded by dunes and a salt lake “Salina dei Monaci” attracting flocks of Flamingos. Every season has it’s magic.
