Puglia in a nutshell
Southern Puglia Getaway
Price from
€500 per person
Overview
Lecce is one of the most extraordinary cities in southern Europe. A week based here is never enough — and always enough to make you want to come back.
The baroque facades carved from honey-coloured local stone, the streets that lead to restaurants where the menu changes daily, the workshops still producing the same papier-mâché the artisans have made for generations — Lecce has a density of quality that takes time to appreciate properly. The days around it offer the Adriatic coast at Otranto, the Ionian at Gallipoli and the medieval towns of the interior that still belong mostly to the people who live in them.
This is the Salento, properly done. Seven days, one city, everything that radiates from it.
