This white Apulian house blends old-world charm with modern comfort
Casa Lama, is a white Apulian house blending tradition and design, located a stone's throw from Monopoli and not far from beaches
Just a few miles from Monopoli, Casa Lama is a white Apulian house—a bright retreat surrounded by century-old olive trees. Combining architectural heritage with contemporary touches, this home invites you to enjoy its peaceful setting. With its simple, geometric lines, the house is nestled among Art Nouveau villas. Here, the traditional Apulian architecture was preserved during the renovation. The thick walls, arches, and openings are both authentic and contemporary. The patio naturally extends the house into a garden bordered by ancient olive trees.
Inside, the entryway is centered around an old fireplace made of local tuff. The dining room strikes a different note with a round table and transparent chairs. It is illuminated by the magnificent Arco lamp designed by Achille Castiglioni, which draws the eye with its sculptural presence. Natural light floods the room and highlights the curved lines of the ceiling. The wall art adds a colorful and dynamic contrast.
The kitchen is decorated in a bolder style with its functional red cabinets. This choice contrasts with the white walls and exudes a warm personality. Wall niches evoke the history of the place. The materials chosen are understated and sturdy. The large opening to the outdoors draws the eye toward the landscape. From the central island, the view extends to the olive trees.
Both bedrooms offer a serene atmosphere and a beautiful opening to the outdoors. The master bedroom opens directly onto the sun-drenched stone courtyard. The second bedroom features an intimate patio, perfect for reading or relaxing. Each bathroom blends rough stone with refined details to create a soothing ambiance. Outside, dry-stone walls shape the landscape and frame the views. The region is rich in nature, with almond trees and centuries-old olive groves. Just fifteen minutes away, the crystal-clear sea is the highlight of exploring the surroundings.
