About Abito Vivo
Crafting timeless architectural interiors where Mediterranean soul, sensory calm, and refined contemporary luxury meet.
About Martina
For me, design has always been an instinct. Its roots run deep in my childhood memories on my grandmother's terrace, where I would spend hours furnishing my dream homes with pure imagination.
To bring that vision to life, I chose a path of technical precision, graduating as a building surveyor, before letting my horizons broaden through the perspectives of New York and the creative excellence of a Master's degree at IED Milan.
Yet, my true academy was in the field. Following my partner’s intuition, we launched the luxury rental division in Alto Salento. We began with just three villas—personally curating every detail, from reservations to the warmest welcome—and today we manage over 50 prestigious properties.
Experiencing these homes through the eyes of our guests taught me what truly matters: comfort that embraces you and beauty that stirs emotion. My goal today is to recreate that magic: crafting a "wow effect" that goes beyond aesthetics to become an experience to live and cherish forever.
Design Principles
Architectural Precision
Technical rigor and surveyor foundations ensure every structural alteration, bespoke millwork element, and spatial transition is executed with flawless discipline.
Tactile Authenticity
We champion raw Apulian limestone, washed linens, aged brass, and hand-troweled microcement—materials that age with quiet dignity and ground every room in sensory tranquility.
Emotional Hospitality
Having welcomed guests into more than 50 luxury villas, we design spaces that go far beyond superficial aesthetics: warm, welcoming, and deeply liveable.
