To the millions of visitors who flock to Northern and Central Italy, Puglia has long been little more than the heel to Italy's boot. But the secret is out: this sleepy sun-drenched slice of Southern Italy, with its scenic landscape and locally produced Mediterranean-style cuisine, comes close to perfection.
The magnificent Baroque masterpieces of Lecce and Martina Franca vie for the accolade of 'most beautiful town'. Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Puglia's unique conical-roofed houses known as trulli and several important archaeological sites all offer a fascinating insight into the region's colourful past.
Our luxury villas in Puglia are all restored trulli or masseria (farmhouses), their traditional architecture complemented by cool and contemporary interiors. Located in the southern Salento area and the central Valle d'Itria, some are close to the beach, other luxury villas with private pools are a little further inland.
