Southern Italian Lifestyle

Puglia has the best range of high-end lodging in the whole of the South. ‘Barefoot luxury’ is a phrase which captures the combination of Mediterranean design and elegance with the simplicity of some of the very best properties. No trip to the area can miss indulging in the outstanding cuisine, which stems from the ancient recipes of Pugliese grandmothers to vibrant flavors of local ingredients. Handcrafted pastas and breads, vibrant sauces, fresh catches, and iconic Burrata cheese define Puglia's palate. Culture and architecture are not lacking. The area boasts a captivating past from Norman to Baroque influences. Puglia served as Europe's artistic, trade, and religious gateway. Centuries-old artisan traditions thrive, with skilled leatherworkers, ceramic artists, sculptors, and glassworkers shaping Puglia's heritage.

Soft Adventure

Puglia's rich history and cuisine blend seamlessly with soft adventures to enhance each itinerary, if requested. Whether biking, boating, or hiking, connecting with nature deepens appreciation for the local landscape. Our clients will unearth hidden gems while picking fruit on ancient trails, cycling through olive groves, or kayaking in secluded coves. Our skilled team tailor activities, ensuring an enriched experience. And for those who've indulged in Puglia's gastronomy, these adventures offer a chance to balance the culinary delights!

Couples, friends and multigenerational Trips

The eternal romance of Italy obviously lends itself to gorgeous vacations for couples of all ages. But Southern Italy is also particularly welcoming to families and groups of friends. Our skilled guides can transform visits into enchanting adventures for both kids and adults. Multi-generational trips are a joy for us, uniting far-flung relatives for memorable time together in the relaxed vibe of the South.
