The Valari firm has recently finished a requalification project of Masseria Belvedere, a large 1600s farm in Contrada Belvedere, in Carovigno, in the d’Itria Valley. 
Located within a hectare and a half of land, which includes a centuries-old olive garden and ample view over the Adriatic coast, the masseria presents an L-shaped structure made entirely of stone and all its spaces are vaulted.

The restoration project stems from the desire of the client to identify an investment opportunity in Puglia’s tourist sector, particularly for a foreign medium-high target, and that would offer a holiday home for large family groups or company retreats.
The architects Nicolò Lewanski e Federica Russo, who are partners of Valari explain that “As opposed to classical architectural firms, with Valari we want to offer a vaster service, which not only takes advantage of our planning capacities, but also of our managerial ones, together with our deep knowledge of the territory: management of on-sight inspections, interaction with agencies, taking charge of all the preliminary phase of choosing the allotment; therefore being a fully-fledged consultant aside of the client, which is the way we think the role of the architect should evolve in this kind of project and what we did for the Masseria Belvedere project”.

The project curated by Valari has consisted in the refurbishing of Masseria Belvedere’s building, which extends, partially on two levels, for 500 sqm and that now hosts 8 double bed rooms and 8 bathrooms in the existing two-storey volume. It also envisages a yoga room on the ground floor and a games room with cocktail bar. The ground floor, overlooking the sea, hosts the day area, a single space on two levels that follows the rock’s slope and includes a kitchen, a dining room and a sitting room.
Outside, the infinity pool runs parallel to the day area and to the sea-view horizon. Next to it, a solarium, a fireplace, an outdoor kitchen and a second dining and sitting area. On the first floor, the terrace from where to enjoy the sunset, hosts the Jacuzzi.
