The history of this house, in the heart of Salento (Apulia - Italy), begins more than two hundred years ago when skilled local workers built the two main volumes of the house, characterised by a deep star vault dating back to 1800. A room with a majestic cross vault of the 1900 was added to these volumes. During the renovation it was decided to subtract one of these volumes to create the internal courtyard, which is the main feature of the Maison designed by the brand Acqua di Puglia, (founded by the architect Massimo Brambilla and his daughter Silvia, responsible for the communication & PR -> www.acquadipuglia.com) in order to value the Apulian scenery. The courtyard gives more space and brightness to the house.
The “Maison Salentina” offers the typical features of the Apulian landscape: strong and deep walls, light blue doors and windows (typical of the Mediterranean style) and a system of terraces covered with “chianche” made of carparo. The last terrace is furnished in arabesque style, thus recreating a corner of peace based on Moroccan features, where you can sip a tea by the tiny pool set in the first terrace.
