Puglia, The Sun-Kissed Heel of Italy! 

Traveling to Puglia feels like stepping into a sunlit postcard that somehow came alive!This is southern Italy at its most magnetic where ancient stone towns glow white under a blazing sky, the sea shifts between turquoise and deep sapphire, and every winding road seems to lead to a hidden beach or a village that hasn’t changed in centuries. 

A classic route includes the baroque elegance of Lecce, often used as a base for exploring the southern Salento peninsula. Heading north, the whitewashed hill town of Ostuni rises above olive groves, while the nearby coastline offers turquoise swimming spots and rocky coves. Don’t miss Polignano a Mare, where cliffside views and sea caves create some of the most iconic scenery in southern Italy.

Further inland, Alberobello stands out for its surreal trulli houses, making it one of Puglia’s most photographed destinations. The best time to visit is late spring (May–June) or early autumn (September–October), when the weather is warm but not overwhelming and the sea is still perfect for swimming.

A trip to Puglia is less about rushing between landmarks and more about lingering long lunches in olive groves, sunset walks through old stone streets, and unplanned detours along quiet coastal roads.

Fantastic Family Vacation ..... Ready to do it aga
Reviewed By H. Correa - Roselle, IL | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Excellent! Brinda helped us arrange 2 weeks of travel in Italy (Venice, Florence/Tuscany, Rome, Sorrento/Capri/Amalifi Coast). It was a fantastic trip! We thoroughly enjoyed every city; the sights, foods, wine, people, hotels, tours, activities, everything was great! She was very attentive / responsive at every turn and even followed up with us throughout our trip. She provided appropriate options truly based on our requests with recommendations 100% aligned to our preferences. Where different options were available she provided detail / information but never pushed. Brinda truly looks out for her customers.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
