Puglia

Puglia stretches from the wooded Gargano peninsula to the harbours and beaches of Salento. Inland, olive groves surround whitewashed towns and the stone trulli of the Valle d’Itria; along the coast, Trani, Monopoli and Otranto reward time on foot. Lecce is the place for Baroque architecture, while converted masserie offer space to settle into the countryside. Choose two or more bases for a longer trip: the region is too extensive to explore comfortably from one hotel.
