Multi-Generational Puglia

Your Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival

Welcome to Puglia! You will arrive into Brindisi airport, where you can pick up your rental car and drive onto the pretty town of Ostuni which takes about 40-minutes. Spend your first night in the famous hill-top, white-washed historic town…and the good news is that your hotel is only a short-walk from the ancient centre with quaint shops, bars and restaurants.

Accommodation

Day 2 - White-washed wonder

Today you will be taken by a private guide on a walking tour of this beautiful, ancient ‘white city’ and its stunning medieval gardens. You will be staying just on the outskirts of the old town, within a stone’s throw of all the action, but easy to park the car and access all the best bits!

Accommodation

Day 3 - Life's a beach

Today you will enjoy a scenic boat trip from Torre Vado to Santa Maria di Leuca along the rugged coastline. There will be swimming opportunities along the way! This is a unique way to discover the southern tip of Apulia and the crystal clear Salento waters. Aperitif is included on this tour.

Accommodation

Day 4 - Get crafty

This morning you will drive onto Grottaglie (home of ceramics!), to take part in a ceramics workshop for a fun and interactive lesson in this ancient craft. The artisan will show you how to make ceramics from scratch and then you will have the opportunity to try for yourselves! You will then visit the museum of ceramics. Afterwards you will head onto Fasano and check into your luxury masseria which will be your charming home for the next few days and the perfect base from which to explore the highlights of the region. There are many activities available on-site and babysitting services too.

Accommodation

Day 5 - When in Puglia

Today you will go on a day trip to Alberobello, known for its pretty white-washed trulli buildings. You will be given a private tour of this picturesque town, before stopping for a special wine tasting set in an enoteca which has more than 200 wines! Wine tasting is accompanied by Apulian snacks. If you are up for more adventure in the afternoon, we suggested visiting the prettiest little towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, where you can also feast on the freshest seafood in town!

Accommodation

Day 6 - Sizzlin'

Today you will enjoy a private, hands-on cookery class in a local restaurant in Cisternino, where you will learn to prepare a selection of traditional Pugliese dishes under the guidance of an expert chef. You will then have the joy of sitting down to enjoy the fruits of your labour for lunch, washed down with a glass of wine…deliziosa!

Accommodation

Day 7 - Sun, Sea and Sand

Today is free to bask in the southern Italian sunshine at your Masseria’s private beach club (can be accessed by bike or hotel shuttle). Enjoy fresh seafood, warm water and cocktails. The little ones will love playing on the sandy beach, whilst the adults chill-out on the comfy sun-beds. You can even walk to a local fishing village if feeling energetic. In the summer, the hotel hosts a number of special nights, including pizza lessons, magic shows for children, jazz, movie nights, bbqs and village feasts! So fun!

Today you will head back to Brindisi airport for your return flight home.
