Nestled in the heart of Martina Franca’s historic center in Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, our two lovingly restored homes — Dimora Pietra Chiara, a bright white-stone studio, and Dimora Pietra Dorata, a three-level golden-stone retreat with a private rooftop terrace — invite you to slow down and settle in. Wake to the sound of church bells and morning espresso, spend your days wandering cobblestone streets lined with cafés and wine bars, and end the evening as the sun sets over the old town rooftops. One stay is all it takes to understand why this Baroque gem captured our hearts.
