Luxury holidays in Salento

When to go

High summer brings both heat and crowds seeking sun, sand and seafood. In the shoulder seasons (May and September), it can be a little damp; and stormy late Septembers are not unheard of.

Getting there

• Planes

  The main air hub is Brindisi, but landing a little further north in Bari is also an option. Both will put you within easy reach of Salento’s towns, villages and beaches.

• Automobiles

  Wheels will definitely come in handy for driving around this rural part of Italy – pick some up at the airport in Brindisi or Bari.
