Description
Trip Summary
Enchanting, Magical & Unspoiled. This is Puglia. Italy’s most secluded coast boasting miles of ancient olive orchards, vineyards and a slow-paced culture. This region is celebrated for its rustic organic cuisine, ancient wonders, and charming locals. A sun-drenched coastline and stunning Baroque cathedrals are just a taste of this alluring coastal gem. We’ll explore this breathtaking area, spread lengthwise and bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.
Embrace this picturesque region also known as “the heel of the boot” of Italy, bordered with hundreds of kilometres of Mediterranean coastline and dotted with small villages in shades of white and gold. We’ll appreciate the unique architecture of Puglia including the extravagant and stunning Baroque and Greek styles in Lecce, Ostuni, Trani, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. The fairytale “Trulli” – stone huts with distinctive conical roofs of Alberobello and incredible surreal Matera in the region of Basilicata, a must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Enjoy the beautiful vistas and ancient wonders of Puglia. Enjoy your stay at a 5-star luxury boutique hotel – Don Ferrante Dimore di Charme in the charming, historic seaside town of Monopoli, a perfect central base for all our excursions.
Savor the culinary pleasures of Puglia. From world-renowned wine & olive oil to gastronomic cuisine, with local and Michelin star chefs.
Join Carol on a journey of appreciation of farm & sea to table cuisine and a relaxed and culturally rich way of life in Southern Italy. We’ll taste and savor wholesome foods and cuisine, based on simple and natural recipes passed down through the generations.
