The Puglia/Molise region
The Apulia / Puglia region had a historical role as a great crossroads for many different cultures, and is a treasure-house of art and culture. The region could be described as one great archaeological site, with its dolmens, cathedrals, castles, traces of forgotten cities, and abandoned medieval villages. There are two World Heritage sites, Castel del Monte and the truli town of Alberobello.
Alongside all of this there is stunning countryside, 500 miles of coastline, beaches of all descriptions, and an abundance of restaurants.
The area has a Meditterranean climate, being hot and dry from May right through to October.
Villa Kate is well positioned to explore the region being just outside Ostuni ("The White City"), one of the most stunning cities in southern Italy famous for the dazzling effect of its whitewashed houses.
Ostuni / Contrada Martucci area
The city of Ostuni is a must. It is a series of levels, staircases, small roads, alleys, arches. Plenty to see and lots of restaurants to relax in after the sight seeing. Every Saturday there is a lively market which caters for everything you can imagine.
Throughout the year there are numerous festivals with the La Cavalcata being a horse parade that follows the procession of Saint Oronzo, the protector of the city towards the end of August. There are too many places to mention but other towns to see are Alberobello, the home of the Truilli, the Castellano caves, Lecce and Martina Franca.
The coastline is 10 minutes away and whether driving south or north there is access to the coastline and beaches to cater for all, from rocky to sandy, quiet to busy. Activities for families are the Zoo Safari combined with funfair and shows at Fasano, ten pin bowling/amusement park near Ostuni and in Monopoli there is a children's indoor play centre
There are too many sites to visit, restaurants to try, markets to shop, festivals to experience in one go. Your first visit will leave you wanting to return to the region. In the Villa there will be an information pack listing full details and recommended places, which is added to each time we visit!
