Lamia del Pozzo

''We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion.
It's like hunger and thirst — you need them both''. 
Architecture and Fashion Lovers, let the words of Karl Lagerfeld introduce you to Lamia del Pozzo, a vacation home born from a love sodality between Puglia and Laura, the owner, who designed it as if it were a tailored dress. 
Let yourself be seduced by a sensual intertwining of architecture, interior design, landscape design and textile complements that makes Lamia del Pozzo a unique setting for a unique holiday, a sensory journey into the heart of Puglia’s Piana degli Ulivi Monumentali (a coastal plain of the Adriatic Sea knows as “the Plain of the Thousand-Year-Old Olives), between Fasano and Ostuni, just two kilometers from the beaches of the Adriatic Sea. 
Here one is bewitched by the sinuous and twisted form of century-old olive trees, while is lulled by the pungent smell issued from their imposing and thick foliage gentlly mixed with the salt of the sea. 

Everything started with a thread, a thread of the fabrics sought by Laura for the most exclusive and sophisticated fashion. 
Laura, who knows the fabrics, chooses them, buys them, has dressed in refined prints and modern color combinations a simple lamia, a typical rural building in tuff stone with vaulted ceilings that the peasants used for the olive harvest: a fabric becomes a floor, with the colors of the Apulian countryside that seem to be gently land on the fabric; a soft velvet, green like the olive leaves, wraps the headboards of the beds; the yellow-ochre of the earth softens the walls of the relaxation room with a tub formed in the old cistern; old forgotten furniture worn by time personalized with handmade fabrics become a unique collection of pieces, like the sommier sofa on the mezzanine, which was given a new golden destiny covering it with a jacquard fabric.  

This creative and passionate recovery sews the past to contemporary inspirations and technologies harmoniously. 
To replicate the balance between the life of man and the life of nature that flow in perfect syntony in this land, a sustainable enlargement has been placed on the original building, the internal and external plasters have been made of lime and hemp, while coccio pesto and olive oil were chosen for waterproofing: natural materials that connect Lamia del Pozzo with the surrounding countryside.  

So, are you ready for a vacation in Puglia that satisfies aesthetics and ethics? We are sure that Lamia del Pozzo will become your addiction! We leave you with the image of its private swimming pool set on a large solarium, where to let yourself be flooded by the energy of the blue of the sky, the green of prickly pears and olive trees, the yellow-ochre and red of a pristine land. 

To make you dream of an alternative dimension to the chaos of the city, to smog, to unsustainable traffic and the stress of everyday life.
