Casa Olivetta is a charming old stone house that has been beautifully restored by Australian fashion and interior designer Collette Dinnigan, nestled in the heart of Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, in Southern Italy. The dwelling is surrounded by rolling hills, ancient olive trees, and trullo cones dotting the landscape.
The property encompasses a main building, a separate guest villa, two gazebos, and an outdoor pizza oven. All these structures feature pale limestone brick exteriors, traditional stone terracing, and reclaimed antico terracotta floor tiles, complemented by lime-washed white walls and rich timber accents.
Need To Know: This beautiful vacation rental offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a comfortable TV lounge room, a kitchen, outdoor dining and living areas, a swimming pool, and a cabana. Casa Olivetta can be all yours for weekly rentals.
Casa Olivetta earned its name from its location amidst silver-leafed olive trees in the Italian countryside.
