Puglia Highlights

An architecture all of its own

An architecture all of its own

Nothing signals your arrival in the Valle d’Itria as much as the sight of a trullo, those uniquely Puglian cylindrical, conical-roofed houses that dot the countryside and fill the centre of Alberobello. Head south to Salento, and you’ll find plenty examples of Puglia's other great architectural tradition: impressively grand masserie, once the beating heart of agricultural estates.

Living off the land: cucina povera

Living off the land: cucina povera

Puglia’s cuisine is founded on simple traditions, time-honoured recipes, and the natural bounty of the land. Its flavour-packed vegetables taste of the sun, pasta is made by hand using durum wheat grown nearby, sustainably fished seafood is treated with respect, and the result is at once comforting, full of goodness, genuine and thoroughly local.

Twin seas, contrasting coastlines

Twin seas, contrasting coastlines

To the west, the Ionian Sea and an irresistible sweep of golden sandy beaches known by the locals as the Italian Maldives; to the east, the Adriatic and an ever-changing coastline of dramatic cliffs, deep rocky inlets, grottoes and sandy bays; at the southern tip, a meeting and mingling of two seas. No matter where you stay in Puglia, you’ll be close to both.
