About

A woman in a green dress, sitting on a red-cushioned stone outdoor bench, surrounded by trees and plants during daytime.

It all began with a dream of having a home in Italy. After visiting Puglia, I completely fell in love — with its rolling landscapes dotted with olive trees, its whitewashed trulli, its friendly people, and, of course, its incredible food.

After a long search, I finally found a beautiful 200-year-old trullo nestled in the middle of an olive grove. It needed significant renovation, but after three years of hard work, the transformation is complete, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

These days, I split my time between Amsterdam—where I live and work—and Puglia.
