Escape to Puglia and discover our top luxury villas

Nestled in the heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia is a land of sun-kissed landscapes, ancient olive groves, and pristine beaches lapped by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. This enchanting region blends history, nature, and a vibrant culinary scene, making it an idyllic destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and cultural immersion.

Puglia is best enjoyed from May to October, when the weather is warm and inviting. Summer temperatures range from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F), perfect for beach lovers, while spring and early autumn offer milder climates ideal for exploring the region’s historic towns and countryside.

The region is well connected and easy to reach, with two main airports serving different areas. For those looking to explore Salento, Brindisi Airport (BDS) is the best choice. Located about 40 km (25 miles) from Lecce, it offers seamless connections to the stunning southern coastline, known for its crystal-clear waters and exclusive retreats. Instead, if you are planning to visit the Valle d’Itria, Bari Airport (BRI) is the most convenient option. Approximately 85 km (53 miles) from Ostuni, it provides easy access to the region’s iconic trulli villages and authentic countryside, perfect for a traditional Puglian experience. Below, you'll find some of the must-visit destinations in Puglia, each offering its own unique charm.
