OWNERS & ARCHITECTS
The complexity and care of the needed restoration project was daunting but accompanied with the full support (and patience) of the architects and teams of local craftsmen, this historic property has returned to life.
The Owners
Founders of Timeless Puglia Collection Rula (Italian/Palestinian) and James (American) left New York City in 2001 for Italy. Having launched successful international careers in Publishing and Wall Street, the journey was both a homecoming and an adventure of discovery. They felt immediately at home in Puglia with its raw authenticity, warmth, history and peaceful landscape of olive groves and beaches. Having spent two decades welcoming friends and family from around the world to experience the pugliese countryside and the properties they lovingly restored, they decided to open their home to guests who wanted to truly experience Puglia, partnering with The Thinking Traveller.
