Casa Padalini is a thoughtfully designed country home created by its owners to enhance a sense of connection with nature. The home lies in a private olive grove in the countryside of San Vito dei Normanni and reflects a vision that places the rhythm, texture, and atmosphere of Puglia at the heart of the project.
Constructed in 2023 using traditional tufo stone and finished with the ancient lime-based scialbatura di calce technique, the house merges regional heritage with clean, minimalist architecture. The entire property is designed for sustainability, with a focus on thermal efficiency and complete energy autonomy through solar technology. It is classified A4 – nearly zero energy consumption.
The main building is 115 sqm and includes a custom-designed wooden kitchen with travertine marble countertops, Samsung appliances, and an induction cooktop. The open living area features a handcrafted dining table and a built-in three-seater sofa. The main bedroom is furnished with a bespoke wooden wardrobe with Vienna straw accents. A bathroom with custom Lecce stone sink and a separate laundry room complete the interior.
A 40 sqm guest annex includes a private bedroom with en suite bathroom, bespoke wooden bed, and a private portico with an outdoor shower and bath. A separate 25 sqm lamia with traditional vaulted ceilings hosts an additional en suite bedroom, providing further privacy and charm.
The home is surrounded by 71 sqm of covered outdoor areas, including a 17.5 sqm entry portico, a 22.5 sqm shaded terrace off the main building, a 15 sqm portico for the annex, and a 16 sqm covered outdoor kitchen and dining area—perfect for open-air living.
The landscaped grounds extend over 17,121 sqm, with around 100 olive, almond, fig, and other fruit trees. A Mediterranean and aromatic garden, curated by Lamia Santolina, uses local species and features an automated drip irrigation system.
A 40 sqm private pool and a 40 sqm outdoor lounging area sit at the heart of the garden, offering complete privacy and immersion in nature.
The estate includes land both attached to the existing structure and with further development rights:
