Historic Towns and Pristine Coastline in Italy

With more UNESCO sites than any other country on Earth, Italy is filled with pockets of wonders waiting to be explored. Discover Puglia in the south; renowned for whitewashed hill towns, fairytale cottages, alluring countryside and the sweeping Mediterranean coastline.

From your luxurious ocean-facing hotel, venture into the Puglian countryside on bicycles or horseback to soak up sensational scenery at a slower pace. In a small fleet of old-school vintage cars, embark on a stylish tour to the most stunning corners of the region where an exclusive countryside picnic awaits. Dependent on the season, delight in traditional festivals, harvest celebrations, artisan markets and world-famous DJs from the gorgeous Piazza. Head down the Puglia’s beautiful beaches, following the scenic coastal paths and stopping to cool off in crystal clear waters. Delve further into the water on a beautiful gullet-style tall ship where you will uncover hidden coves and caves before delighting in sundowners as the sky changes colour over the ocean. Returning to land, indulge in a delectable menu of local seafood overlooking the expansive coastline.

Your Puglia adventure is not complete without witnessing its breath-taking UNESCO world heritage sites, rich in astonishing history. Embark on a private guided tour of Alberobello’s unique whitewashed ‘trulli’ houses before a fascinating olive oil experience in Itria Valley. Your visit to a traditional farm involves delicious local food, wine and olive oil tasting. Renowned for ancient cave dwellings restored into shops and home, the limestone town of Matera is extraordinary and will be brought to life by your expert guides. Check into the beautiful countryside resort of Borgo Egnazia where the scents of jasmine and rosemary waft through the warm afternoon air. Enjoy a day of pure relaxation all set to the sound of the ocean waves and the smell of the fresh sea breeze. Specialists will create bespoke sessions to reset your internal compass, pointing you back to the path of inner peace and self-love in the most idyllic of settings. Leave the spa feeling rejuvenated and restored ready to bask by the pool in this sanctuary under the sun.
