Moody and Mysterious: Casa Soleto in Puglia by Studio Andrew Trotter

January 30, 2026

We’re longtime fans of British designer Andrew Trotter and his sun-bleached, meticulously restored villas in Puglia, Italy, so we took note when we came across Casa Soleto, which he restored with his partner Marcelo Martinez. The project is a departure for the designer: A 17th-century palazzo located in the heart of Salento, Puglia, with interiors bathed in moody shades of olive green and terra cotta. Bonus: it’s available for rentals.

Above: The interiors are washed with plasters made in Italy and imported from Belgium via Dominque Finishes, which offers a range of wall coverings derived from limestone quarried in northern Italy—”our plasters are the equivalent of those used by Romans in the 1st century AD and Palladio in the Renaissance,” they say.
