Luxury holidays in Puglia
As at all good Italian get-togethers, food takes centre stage: fresh fish, melons, figs, olive oils and wines. Puglia produces almost all of the country’s – in fact Europe’s – pasta. Yet although the region may appear Italian down to its boots, the heel of Italy has a very cosmopolitan past; the Greeks, Spanish and Normans all paid visits, leaving a quirky mishmash of architectural heirlooms, from Baroque churches and Romanesque cathedrals to whitewashed villages and the traditional conical dwellings called trulli.
Destinations in Puglia
-
Where your heel would sit inside Italy’s boot, you’ll find the storied city of Bari. A longstanding, lively port lapped by the Adriatic, it's also sun-kissed Puglia’s capital.
-
Sat on Italy’s jutting southern heel, Baroque-bolthole Lecce stuns with signature 17th-century cathedrals and lively piazzas all hewn from the local ivory-hued limestone.
-
A golden (literally) triangle, with vertices in coffee-coloured Baroque beauty Lecce (AKA the Florence of the south), fishing village (and sea-urchin central) Gallipoli and the tip of Italy’s heel, Salento is as south as south goes here.
