Almea Living is a personally curated collection of holiday homes around Ostuni, San Vito dei Normanni and the Adriatic coast.
Meet Marilinda
Almea Living grew from Marilinda Abritta’s love of hospitality, beautiful homes and the slower rhythm of life in southern Italy.
Born in Calabria and shaped by years living and working in London, Marilinda built her career in hospitality and property management before returning her focus to Italy.
After the success of The Fab Stay, she wanted to create something more personal: a smaller collection of homes she could genuinely know, in a part of Puglia she knows and loves.
Today, that personal involvement remains at the heart of Almea Living. From choosing homes for the collection to helping guests make the most of their stay, the aim is simple: thoughtful hospitality from people who know the homes and know the area.
What Almea Means to Us

Thoughtful Hospitality
The small details matter, from choosing the right property to helping guests during their stay.
Slow Living
Homes and places that encourage you to settle in, explore locally and experience Puglia rather than simply visit it.
What Our Guests Say
"The house is beautifully furnished and meticulously designed. We felt right at home. The location is almost perfect. The terrace is fantastic.
But the human highlight is Mari, who greeted us in an incredibly friendly manner and guided us through the possibilities of the week-long stay."

"Mari was an extremely friendly host who was practically there for us around the clock. We were able to contact them at any time when we had questions.
The apartment in Ostuni was very pretty with a wonderful roof terrace overlooking the city, just a few minutes walk from the old town where you can eat great."
