the perfect balance between a house and a work of art, I love that you kept as much as possible of the original home
Such a nice thing to say! Thank you 😊
Both of you have successfully brought out the aesthetics and elegance of simplicity and rawnesses. At the same time a beautiful story is told of the past and culture. There is a good flow of different spaces and levels, the courtyard completes it. I can see your skills in details and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Such a lovely thing to say thank you so much. ❤
For me, it's not just the creative vision that you had for the space, which is really quite beautiful, but also the fact that you were capable of doing a lot if not most of the work yourselves. Really impressive endeavor all the way around.
Thank you 😊
A lot of hard work has transformed that space so beautifully. It’s uncluttered and must be so soothing to be in that space.
It’s always had great bones just needed someone to care for it 😊
Lovely and peaceful, minimalist but NOT cold.... perfect for your climate. Bravi!
Great job! I’m proud of how much love and respect you show for this house and my country. Thank you very much!
Thank you. We always try to much as much love as possible into our projects and it’s true we love Italy 😊
They can keep their Chateaus....farms...and what ever mausoleums they find.....this is my idea of paradise and you have made it so.. where every room is available to have life. I have a loathing of rooms standing stiffly waiting for someone to love it as a permanent home. It is totally wonderful.
Wow what a kind thing to say!! It’s modest and special to us and that’s all the matters in the end.
So beautifully done. Restful, peaceful and tastefully done! Well done you two! Brilliant! 🍾🥂😁👍
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing your home. It is a calm and serene space. You have created a beautiful home to enjoy!♥

Stunning.
Thank you 😊
so peaceful. just beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Wow that is such a great transformation. A feeling of comfortable serenity is what comes through for me. The living room reminds me very much of traditional touches you see in Arizona and New Mexico. Very inspiring for the renovation I’m just starting in Salento.
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes we’ve been very inspired by New Mexico adobe homes over the years. So beautiful and organic. Thanks for watching and your kind comment.
@@Maisondebase I struggle a bit with how much of the old patina to save on the walls and star vaults. I think you’ve struck a good balance!
@@mharrisona5526 yes we had the same feeling you sort of want to keep it all but then it gets a bit over kill haha
So beautiful!!! Amazing job!
Thank you so much!!
I watch a lot of Italian property videos. Some need a lot of work if not a few sticks of dynamite, and some have been redon. Even some very expensive palazzos.
I have never seen one as simple yet artistic, airy, and esthetic as yours.
Your vision and your hard work have created a piece of art to live in.
I am a third Greek Italian on my father's side, and you have caught the essence of southern Italys Greek heritage.
Ciao! 😊😊😊
So nice of you to say so! My grandfather was Greek from Chios so maybe it’s in the blood ! Thank you for you kind words 😊
Amazing

I just found your channel - great space! We are excited to come to Puglia this September, we eventually want to have a place there! greetings from Naples, Florida...
Oh amazing! We love Puglia is such a great place. We will be hosting some ceramic and food and wine workshops this spring summer if you’re interested give us a look on instagram :) best of luck with the search. Ebonie and Martin
Your house is beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing 💙🩵💙
Thank you 😊
Hi, love your videos your taste and style, so natural so beautiful so simple. Would be great to see how the lime plaster is made maybe in a another video as I would like to do my bathroom like it without tiles. We live in Sicily and have been here for 4 yrs and we are still decorating , it never ends lol. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you for your kind comment, we will try to make some how tos in future videos. Yes it never seems to end, we know that feeling honestly 😆
Beautiful 😍
🙋🏻♀️🌻
Thank you 😊
Ebonie, I didn’t realise you were Australian until today’s narrated video (I want to say Melbourne, or maybe east coast somewhere? ☺️). I love what you’ve done with the place, you have a beautiful and respectful aesthetic. I’m from Melbourne, living in London now, and have been thinking about renovating a place in Europe. Have you ever thought about running (paid) sessions for people interested in understanding the process (and pitfalls) of negotiating the bureaucracy needed to be successful in Italy? I imagine a lot of people would find it really helpful. So pleased for you and your stunning home and lifestyle, you’re both an amazing inspiration 🙏🙌
Hi Loraine, yes I’m from QLD originally but spent most of my young adult life in Melbourne before moving to Paris so been all over the place. Thank you for your kind message about the house, so glad you like it. We definitely can do a purchasing property consultation with you over zoom if this is something you’d like to do. Shoot us an email if you’re interested and tell us bit more about what your looking for potentially and we can see if we can organize a time to chat :) Best Ebonie
SuperWOW😊
Grazie!!
Looks like something you see in fancy magazines and design books ❤
Bella❤
The living room is just spectacular, both the original architecture and your artisanal furnishings. The way the carpet amplifies the terrazzo pattern is brilliance. The fresco in the bedroom is amazing and your restoration of it so sympathetic. The stone sink in the bathroom: perfection! I thought I recalled a sculpted table in the dining area? Did that change?
Thank you so much! Yes there is one but it wasn’t yet built in these videos:) it came later. I’ll do a new walk through video this coming week !!
Now that's the life! Great vision and execution of that space. Good to see local people for employ. Did you start with an architect? Gosh I would love that.
Thank you! It’s always ongoing. We didn’t do any of the work with an architect we used a local geometra though who will draw up plans based on what you say, they are a type of engineer and architect in one and they work with the local council to get everything approved. It’s certainly a learning process but we’ve loved it.
I really enjoyed the video! All of your renovation, interior design, and garden work are just fantastic! I cannot imagine that I would be comfortable on your living room sofas. Of course, it could certainly be that I am so very old and need more cushions at my back. And where do the darling dogs sleep? I saw them sleeping in the outside garden on a cushioned bench...cute! But inside, maybe they sleep on the reading bench! Wow, the cellar is wonderful! Your place is full of beauty!! Thanks! All the best to you from Memphis, TN, USA!!
We have a lot more back cushions now for the sofa, it’s very comfortable for us and easy to clean as the dogs do inevitably take over all soft cushion spaces like the sofa. They sleep in different places, sometimes the reading branch, sometimes their own beds on the floor, sometimes at the end of our bed too 😬 thanks for your kind words. All the best from Italy 🇮🇹
You both did an amazing job looks incredible.
The company that I work for in the states Natuzzi the factory is in Puglia
Thank you! Oh yes we know it actually 😊
❤❤❤❤woow
If I may, I'd love to give you some hopefully 😊good suggestions: give your backsplash a couple of hands of polymer sealant or that wall is going to be extremely dirty and mouldy in a very short time or better still (but more expensive) buy some leftover tiles in some construction place and tile the whole backsplash up. Same with the shower or Efflorescence will make an appearance. I'm curious about the ventilation pipe and chimney in the fireplace since it looks like it goes into the kitchen? Pronunciation in Italian is PE'R.gola, stress on the first syllable (as in British English). And last but most important, Kudos on a fantastic job!👍👍👍
Hello, thanks for the suggestions but the backsplash and bathroom are in tadelakt you would never touch that material with a polymer sealer since it’s a natural material and needs to breathe. It’s sealed with black olive oils soap, you should look it up it’s a fascinating process used for hundreds of years. 2 years later and we have never had any molds or dirt issues :) not sure what your asking regarding the chimney but yes it does go into the kitchen then out the roof. Thanks for following along 🙂
"stone basin we made" !! How did you make it??? Fabulous work you two, thank you.
the simplicity, Swedish look is what really works here...dts/usa
❤❤❤❤❤❤ GREAT job!!👏
Really well done. It's rare to see projects, where people really have such a feel and sensitivity for everything in it's whole.
Chapeau! 🤠
I would LOVE to hear about your experiences with the lime plaster in the bathroom and kitchen (especially in the shower)
No issues at all with any humidity getting through??
Thank you that’s very kind of you to say. We’ve found the lime plaster to be great actually. It’s super easy to keep clean and so far haven’t noticed any issues with humidity. Would definitely recommend:)
