VILLA CINZIA

VILLA CINZIA

Sleeps 8
Bedrooms 4,  Bathrooms 4
Monopoli, Salento – Puglia, Italy

This is a rural Masseria restored with care for the natural environment and a modern concept with a hi-tech twist. Surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and a grove of centuries-old olive trees, it comes with charming alfresco areas and complete privacy. The home design approached with research in the historical context, results in a contemporary Apulian style with the dominance of the local natural stone. A mix of Trullo-vault, wooden beams, and stone ceilings lend a welcoming and traditional feel to the interiors. Elements of classic Italian architecture, such as a single-level structure and Trulli roofs, are combined with contemporary touches, like a domotic system controlled by tablets and modern furniture of design together with recent art items. Aesthetically, the house recalls traditional typologies and materials, including locally sourced stone 16th-century terracotta floors, as opposed to contemporary fixture windows, and hit the kitchen in steel. A rustic retreat in a modern concept design full of light and welcoming vibes, blending traditional and contemporary Apulian architecture.
