Salento

The southernmost part of Italy's heel, Salento is a long, mostly flat stiletto of land lapped by twin seas: the Adriatic to the east, the Ionian to the west. Its varied coastline features paradisiacal, Maldivesque beaches, dramatic cliffs, deep, translucent inlets, and a series of evocative, historic towns, such as Gallipoli and Otranto. Inland, meanwhile, is the creamy baroque sophistication of Lecce and a host of authentic, timelessly charming villages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Visit Valle d'Itria?

Valle d'Itria is Puglia's enchanting inland escape, a broad plateau of limestone, centuries-old olive trees and the conical trulli houses that give the region its character. Alberobello, Locorotondo and Cisternino boast rich cultural heritage, but the surrounding hinterland, threaded with dry-stone walls and worked by the same families for generations, is the real draw. Our luxury villas in Valle d'Itria, from restored trulli to contemporary masserie, offer a rare holiday experience that shouldn’t be missed. 

Where Should You Stay in Valle d'Itria?

We've handpicked some of the best villas in Valle d'Itria across the region's most captivating landscapes, from the trulli-strewn countryside around Alberobello and Locorotondo to the olive-cloaked hills near Martina Franca and Ostuni. Each location offers a different perspective on the valley, whether you're drawn to its characterful towns, peaceful rural surroundings or easy access to the coast and Baroque gems of the interior. Our Villa Specialists can help you choose the setting that best suits your group and preferred pace.

What Is There to Do in Valle d'Itria?

One of the best ways to spend a day in Valle d’Itria is by walking or cycling the tree-lined lanes between trulli farms and vineyards. Alberobello's trulli district, a UNESCO site, is ideal for an early morning visit before the day-trippers arrive. Cisterino's preserved old town and bustling piazzas are perfect for evening strolls and dinner. Wine tasting in the Primitivo and Negroamaro vineyards, visiting local cheese producers and exploring Martina Franca's Baroque centre all make for rewarding afternoons. Our team will organise it all; get in touch with our Villa Specialists to book one of our exclusive Puglia experiences.

How to Get to Valle d'Itria

You can get to Valle D’Itria from both Bari Karol Wojtyla airport (BRI) and Brindisi airport (BDS). They’re both around 60 to 90 minutes from the main towns depending on your villa's location. Both airports have direct flights from major UK and European cities, particularly from April to October. Hiring a car or chauffeur is essential for exploring the valley at a leisurely pace, and the drive through the trulli-dotted towns is very much part of the experience. Our Puglia travel guide offers additional insight on the best ways to get to and around the region.
