We love —
- Staying in a thoughtfully restored former convent, its chapel and fragrant gardens intact, set quietly amid the Salento countryside.
- Exploring a cellar of over 1,000 labels guided by resident sommeliers, before sitting down to regional Salentine cooking at Il Chiostro.
- Unwinding in the Calidarium spa, where an indoor pool, Turkish bath, Kneipp cure and Jacuzzi sit alongside a full treatment menu.

Puglia —
Welcome to Puglia, Italy's sun-drenched southern gem, where ancient history, stunning coastlines, and culinary delights converge. Located in the heel of Italy's boot, Puglia offers travelers an authentic Italian experience away from the bustling crowds.
Must-sees:
- Lecce: Often dubbed the "Florence of the South," Lecce is renowned for its Baroque architecture, with ornate churches and palaces lining its historic streets.
- Alberobello: This UNESCO World Heritage site is famous for its "trulli" – whitewashed stone huts with conical roofs, offering a glimpse into traditional Apulian life.
- Castel del Monte: A 13th-century castle with a unique octagonal design, reflecting a blend of cultural influences and offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Culinary culture:
Puglia's cuisine is a celebration of simplicity and local produce. The region is a significant producer of olive oil and wine, with more wine production than any other Italian region. Traditional dishes include orecchiette pasta, often served with turnip tops or rich tomato sauces, and "puccia," a sandwich made with pizza dough. Seafood lovers will delight in the fresh catches from the Adriatic and Ionian seas, featured prominently in local menus.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its well-known attractions, Puglia offers numerous medieval towns such as Polignano a Mare and Martina Franca, each with its own unique charm. The region boasts two national parks, offering opportunities for hiking and biking amidst diverse landscapes. For a unique experience, consider staying in a traditional "masseria," a restored farmhouse that immerses you in the region's rustic charm.
Good to know:
Puglia enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters. The best times to visit are spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are thinner. Traveling by car is recommended to fully experience Puglia's offerings, as it allows access to its many hidden gems.
The region is well-connected, with airports in Bari and Brindisi offering flights to various destinations. While Italian is the official language, English is commonly understood in tourist areas.
