Under the Guidance of Andrew Trotter, a Puglian Lamia is Reborn
We’re big fans of the Moroseta family's collection of authentic Puglian homes. So when they recently asked us to add La Casetta, a former lamia in the middle of unspoiled nature and secular olive trees, it was an easy "yes."
A large garden replete with fruit trees surrounds the lamia, and you’ll enter from the courtyard circling an old “pozzo” (well). The home invites you right into its open plan living area, giving you ideas for colder nights with a chic little fireplace next to a sitting area. A rustic table that can seat up to eight sits in front of a bay window, and the light and bright rooms are enclosed by thick white walls that offer pleasant acoustics and a natural cooling system.
Venture outside (and you’ll probably be here often, given Puglia’s favorable climate) and see what the grounds have to offer: a swimming pool, several terraces, an outdoor fireplace and a hammock for languid afternoons spent reading, napping and generally adopting a gioia di vivere.
A compact villa in Italy with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and rendered in Trotter’s signature style of simple and stylish modernization with a light touch, it is furnished and detailed with every comfort of today considered.

Additional services on request (fees apply), such as breakfast prepared by the Moroseta kitchen, chef experiences and wine pairings, yoga, personal trainer or massages on demand. There is also a boat experience, a one-day trip along Salento coasts on a freshly restored gozzo (traditional wooden motorboat), including lunch made with local ingredients, focaccia and chilled white wine.
THE WHITE CITY
The masseria is located in the heart of Puglia, near the impossibly pretty white town of Ostuni. There are several beaches, such as Torre Guacetto, within easy reach, as well as the historic towns of Cisternino, Alberobello, Martina Franca, Lecce, and Polignano al Mare. The owners can help with restaurant bookings, visits to local workshops, and much more.
