Region guide

Why we love it

The southernmost region of Puglia forms the heel of Italy's iconic 'boot'. Known for its whitewashed towns and famous trullo houses, this delightful region offers an endless coastline of beautiful beaches, a quaint interior of pretty, rustic towns and a unique laid-back vibe.

Puglia's oldest town, Ceglie Messapica oozes ancient charm. The historic vibe carries on in the seaside port towns of Otranto, Monopoli or Torre Canne. Or try the ever-popular sandy beaches of Polignano a Mare. And the hilltop towns of Ostuni and Locorotondo.

Wherever you choose to stay, Puglia's historic and relaxing charms will guarantee an unforgettable break. Explore the guides below for a more detailed overview of each town and area or pick up the phone to talk with one of our team of experts.
