Puglia, a lovely coastal region in southern Italy, is home to lavish olive tree groves, pristine towns painted white, and mediaeval architecture. The capital, Bari, is lively and intriguing, suitable for a memorable holiday with friends and family. The Mediterranean coastline beckons while you can visit the ancient farmlands, churches, and the lovely town of Lecce.
You can even rent gorgeous villas in Puglia, or Apulia, for a private, luxurious and comfortable stay with your loved ones. Think swimming pools all to yourself, catered breakfasts, and in-villa amenities to make your holiday even better. Additionally, you can experience living in a traditional trullo, which is a dry stone hut with a conical roof.
