Welcome to Puglia
Most visitors to Italy never make it this far south. That's the point.
Puglia sits at the heel of the Italian boot — two seas, 800 kilometres of coastline, and a food culture so deeply rooted in the land that olive trees here predate the Norman conquests. This is the Italy that hasn't been smoothed out for tourists. The masserie still function as farms. The women still shape orecchiette by hand in the streets of Bari's old quarter. The wine — Primitivo, Negroamaro, Verdeca — is made the way it has been made for centuries.
If you're looking for the Italy of brochures, there are plenty of operators who can help you find it. If you're looking for the real thing, you've found us.
White-washed towns of Greek flair stand out against turquoise sea waters and silver-grey millennia-old olive groves, while cone-roofed trulli houses and charming masserie dot the rolling hills that make Puglia's countryside so picturesque.
A feast of scents and flavours awaits: a rich food tradition, steeped in rural peasants cuisine, will delight your palate with its incredible culinary gems. Glorious red wines to be paired with tantalizing local specialities, elegant white and rosé wines to match with delicious fish Puglia is famous for, will make your stay even more pleasant.
The Pugliese are not performing hospitality for tourists. They're inviting you into the way they actually live — and there's a difference you'll feel from the first evening at a farm table, when the wine is poured without being asked and the conversation outlasts the dinner.
Discovery Puglia was built on a simple premise: that the best holidays to this region aren't assembled from a catalogue — they're designed by people who know which masseria lets you press your own olive oil in October, which winemaker opens the cellar door for the right guest, which back road between Locorotondo and Ostuni is worth taking slowly.
