About Puglia

An extraordinary peninsular of land that forms “Italy’s Heel”. Five hundred miles of Adriatic and Ionian coastline front landscapes—plains in the south, mountains in the north—with a stark, primal beauty.

This region is above all a land of colours and vibrant contrasts - green olive groves and vineyards growing out of rich dark red soil; white houses against a brilliant azure sky; golden sandy beaches embraced by majestic cliffs falling into a clear turquoise sea; its endlessly solitary landscape and the vibrant local markets and religious celebrations.

 
Puglia is ancient, wise and generous and its people are very welcoming and fiercely proud of their homes. A dignified and gentle land that will strike you with its wealth of unique architectural sights: rural villages, historical remains, stylish baroques manors, palaces and castles, an incredibly un spoilt coastline; not to mention the best known regional feature so far, the unique “Trulli” scattered all over the amazing Itria Valley. These traditional houses are built with an ancient technique using dry stones to form a thick structure terminating in a conical roof. Everything in Puglia, with its character and glorious scenery will fill your heart with pleasure.
