We are located in the heart of Salento, in Vignacastrisi - a small village that has preserved its authentic character over time.
Here, we brought to life a place shaped by simplicity, silence, and Mediterranean beauty.

The Residence

A former sheepfold has been given new life within over 1,000 square meters of Mediterranean gardens.
Traditional architecture has been preserved and reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, with a focus on light, materiality, and sustainability, supported by solar energy systems and rainwater harvesting.
Surrounded by dry-stone walls, fruit trees, and a 16-meter stone pool immersed in nature, the property is designed as a quiet retreat for those seeking privacy, beauty and authenticity.

About us

We are Patrizia and Andrea: from Milan, but in love with Salento.
Together, we welcome guests to discover its sea, nature, and culture, inviting them to experience the most authentic side of Puglia.

Patrizia, a renowned musician by profession, has cultivated a deep passion for hospitality and the art of welcoming over the years. She is personally present with guests, curating every detail and preparing breakfasts - and dinners upon request - inspired by local ingredients, while remaining attentive to contemporary dietary preferences.
Fluent in five languages (Italian, French, English, Portuguese, and Spanish), she ensures guests feel understood, cared for, and completely at ease.

Andrea, with nearly 40 years of experience in leading international advertising agencies, oversees the image and organization of the Dimora. Passionate about architecture and design, he personally led the restoration project, creating a refined hospitality experience that balances contemporary comfort with respect for tradition.
