Our Puglia

We are in Puglia - a palette of blues and greens. Discover dramatic landscapes. The endless olive groves of the verdant Valle d’Itria stretching as far as the eye can see. The hot, salty seascapes of the Gargano and Salento.

With long, hot, dry summers, slow and easy towns, sleepy in the summer heat and simple, delicious food, Puglia - for many years the summer destination of choice for northern Italians - is increasingly favoured by the rest of the world.

From the north of the region to the very tip of the heel, our contributors live, eat and breathe Puglia. Our region, our home. That’s why we see it in 360°.

Our Beaches

With over 800km of coast - the longest in Italy’s mainland regions - and with two seas il mare is a way of life for us here in Puglia.

We spend our summer holidays at the beach with our parents when we are bambini. As teenagers we pass the endless summer days there with our friends. When we become parents we take our children there. When we retire we get up early to soak up the morning sun as we take our early morning exercise in the sea.

In Puglia you will find long stretches of soft golden sand and white beaches, as well as rocky shelves to bake on, surrounded by the blues and clearest water.

We have some of Italy’s most beautiful award-winning beaches. From family favourites to harder to reach, private coves.

Food, Glorious Food

Unfussy dishes made with fresh, local produce. Vegetables, fish and seafood often take centre stage.

Simple recipes with fresh produce available from the myriad of daily market stalls deliver stand-out dishes every time.
