Autumn Residency at Nardo House: October 2026

Four nights and four unhurried days inside a private Puglian palazzo.  An intimate autumn residency in Nardo created for just six women.

THE AUTUMN RESIDENCY

The keys to the palazzo are yours.  October 23 - 27 2026

Four nights and four unhurried days.  Just six guests.

"Nardo House was always intended to feel like a home rather than simply somewhere to stay.  The autumn residency is an extension of that idea: a few days in which you can settle into the house, experience the rhythms of Nardo and enjoy the kind of conversations and connections that only happen when nobody is rushing away.

This is our first residency and I would love to welcome you into it."

Vanessa

Owner, Nardo House

LIVE INSIDE THE RHYTHMS OF SOUTHERN ITALY

This October, Nardo House is introducing a different kind of stay.  For four nights, six women will make a temporary life inside a beautifully restored palazzo in the historic heart of Nardo.

Mornings begin slowly.  Afternoons unfold according to how you feel.  Evenings are spent over seasonal Puglian food, exceptional local wine & long conversations around a shared table.

There is no timetable to chase and no list of sights to conquest.  This is not simply a room in Southern Italy: it is an invitation to briefly live here.

FOR FOUR NIGHTS THIS IS HOME

Nardo House sits just moments from Piazza Salandra, surrounded by the churches, cafes, markets and meandering streets of Nardo's historic centre.  Inside the palazzo are soaring vaulted ceilings, gracious shared rooms, secluded courtyards and terraces overlooking the rooftops of the old town.  Each guest will have her own beautifully appointed accommodation and private bathroom, with the freedom to retreat for solitude or rejoin the group for company.  The entire experience has been created to feel personal, generous and unhurried.

Wake to the distant chime of the town bell.  Take coffee in the piazza and watch Nardo begin it's day.  Wander through the old town's narrow streets.  Browse regional markets for antiques, local produce and whatever happens to catch your eye.  There is nowhere you need to be before lunch.

SLOW AFTERNOONS

Read on the rooftop. Walk beside the Ionian Sea. Explore the coast or return to the quiet of the palazzo.  Yoga, coastal walks and in-palazzo massages or facials can be arranged according to how to feel that day.  Or you may chose to do very little at all.  That is entirely the point.

AROUND THE TABLE

Food is part of the rhythm of life here.  Expect seasonal Puglian ingredients, fresh Ionian seafood and exceptional wines from local producers. Some meals will be shared around the palazzo's long wooden table.  Others may unfold on the rooftop, beside the sea or in one of the small restaurants Vanessa recommends to friends.  Come for the food.  Stay for the conversation, laughter and unexpected connection.

WELLBEING WITHOUT A SCHEDULE

This is not a retreat built around compulsory activities or rigid routines.  Everything is optional.  Move when you want to move.  Explore when you feel curious. Rest when you need to rest.  The residency is designed to create space - not fill every hour of it.

INTIMATE BY DESIGN

The autumn residency has been created for six women.  Each guest will have her own accommodation within the palazzo.  There is one twin room that can be shared between two friends.  The small group is intentional. It allows the experience to feel relaxed and personal, while leaving enough room for genuine connection to happen naturally.

Come alone, come with a friend or share the invitation with someone you know would love it.

Arrive on Friday and settle into the palazzo.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday & the whole of Tuesday are four full, unhurried days to enjoy Nardo, the coast, the house and a shared interest in Italian life.

On Tuesday gather for one final meal before departing in the late afternoon.

Four nights. Four days.  One palazzo.

A shorter November residency will also be announced.
