The Don Fernando 1938 is a house of the end of the 700 that, welcoming you in the Salento, tells its centuries of history made of granaries and fireplaces transformed into a modern Turkish bath, of cisterns become pools and star vaults that open to skylights that let the southern sun burst in in the morning and leave room for the magic of the stars after sunset.
A recovery project lasted three years, followed with passion, which gave birth to two residences, in which the spaces related to the needs of self-sufficiency of what was a peasant economy, (everything had to be preserved) have been transformed into spaces to pamper our guests.
The Don Fernando 1938 is composed of two dwellings: the Abode of the Waters and the Abode of the Stars
Dwelling of the Waters
A secret pool to take you out of time!
Give value to the past by integrating it with modern comforts. The ingenuity and mastery present in every corner of Don Fernando 1938, find virtuous spaces in the Water Dwelling where an ancient granary then used as a cistern is now an underground pool with whirlpool and relaxation space. The garden has become a solarium area with a shell bath where you can cool down and lower the hot temperatures. Under the shadow of the white jasmine a pile with lavaturo continues to tell its story of clothes and chatter of the past. Trait d'union between the house and the garden is a porch that allows you to spend relaxing moments from breakfast to dinner. Restored to its original size, the fireplace is the master in the kitchen with barrel vault. It was once a meeting place for the women of the house and the favorite place of children who sat inside to warm themselves in the cold and wet winters of Salento. The sleeping area, under the star vault, dominates the whole environment and the view is satisfied on the garden.
Abode of the Stars
A sky of stars for your nights in Salento
They say starlight is always magic. And here in the Dimora delle Stelle you can experience the magic inside your exclusive SPA: during the emotional showers; in the large whirlpool with small cervical waterfall made entirely of clay; or while you do your regenerating steam bath, perhaps, with your background soundtrack. Yes, because the exclusivity of the SPA will leave you free to live it and enjoy it fully sharing it only with those you love. And then, the sky of Salento stars will become your invisible blanket and, from what was once a fireplace and then barn, you can relax and sleep peacefully.
Total relaxation. A space out of time. An exclusive home for your holidays!
