The Puglia/Molise region

The region is renowned for its ancient olive groves and vineyards with a climate encouraging an abundance of fresh produce which can be purchased at the daily local markets.

For sun worshippers there are beaches to suit all tastes ranging from long sandy and unspoilt stretches, beaches set in coastal resorts or secluded rocky coves.

Alberobello known as the Capital of the Trulli is very unusual with lots of buildings known as trullo.The trullo is a fascinating architectural feature of this area of Puglia, a building with conical roof made without mortar. Alberobello has special status internationally - designated a UNESCO world heritage site - because its collection of some 1,500 trulli in an urban environment is unique. Some of the trulli are now used for stores, restaurants, and lodging, but many are still inhabited by locals, who are very friendly to visitors. Alberobello is a tourist attraction, but it is not overrun, especially away from the main tourist honey pot, and most visitors are Italian. Areas to visit, include the two trulli zones, the Basilica, Trullo Sovrano, the trullo church of St Antony and the trulli museum. The caves at Castellano: Near Fasano, have magnificent underground caverns.

Cripta di San Biagio 15 mins away from Villa Poggio (and signposted) is the 'Cripta di San Biagio', one of the most important 'Rock Churches' in the region. Inside this cave church, you will find 12th Century paintings, and exquisite, richly decorated frescos.

Lecce ‘The Florence of South’ so called because of the quantity of important baroque monuments found there, is approx 40 minute drive.

Nearby the protected coast and the nature reserve of Torre Guaceto is comprised of and encloses a precious stretch of an uncontaminated and charming coast where time seems to have stopped. The park extends itself at approximately 1000 hectares of land and 2000 hectares of sea that makes up an overall stretch of coast of approx 7km. The tall sand dunes which peak on the sea are studded in the summer season with lillies and are overcome by century-old junipers.

Fasano Zoo Safari and Fun Park offers a brilliant day out for all the family as does Aquafollies Water Park in Lido Silvana on the Ionian Coast..
