Ostuni is known as the "white city" due to the characteristic white color that dominates the entire old town. The "white city" offers breathtaking views of the entire Olive Plain, which extends at the foot of the hill on which the city is located. A must-see for anyone visiting this region.

The trulli of Alberobello are famous throughout the world. Located between the Itria Valley and the Murgia, the city offers visitors the history of these unique buildings—trulli, in fact—which were built in the 15th century AD. The tallest, overlooking the Piazza del Sacramento, is 14 meters high. A visit to the historic center is a must during the summer and Christmas periods.

Just a few kilometers from Polignano a Mare, here is another of Puglia's most renowned and visited towns. Monopoli is one of the busiest and most populous ports in the Puglia region and, due to its imposing size, is known as "the city of 99 districts." Its distinctive features include the Messapian walls, the Bastion, and the Castle that still dominate the city.

If you're looking for a journey to the center of the earth, Castellana Grotte is the perfect destination for this type of adventure.

The cave tour extends for 3 km, ending in the famous "Grotta Bianca" at a depth of over 70 meters.

Already a European Capital of Culture in 2019, the city of Matera (located in the Basilicata region, bordering Puglia) is the famous "city of stones."

The city has been the setting for many famous films, including Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."

Martina Franca is a 14th-century town located in the heart of the Itria Valley, encompassing the Bosco delle Pianelle forest.

Located in the municipality of Fasano, where our property is also located, Savelletri and Torre Canne represent the "Fasano coast." These two villages, about 5 km apart, connect one of the most picturesque stretches of coast and sea in all of Puglia. Cliffs alternate with sandy areas: the natural area located in the Dune Costiere National Park and the view of the ancient Torre Canne lighthouse are unmissable.
