Puglia, Italy
Best to get lost in the different villages, going in and out of churches, stop for the best coffee and cappuccinos, end the day watching the sunset sipping a Spritz for your aperitivo.

to & from
Depending on where you are coming from, there are direct flights from NY and most major European cities, but the most choices from London Heathrow, Rome and Milan into either Brindisi or Bari (the two largest towns in the region).
Where to Stay
We went for a friend’s 50th who had a house there, but guests stayed in different places South of Bari (one of the major towns of the area). This region is known for charming farm/country houses often surrounded by olive trees, vineyards or produce farms called Masserias. It can be fun to stay in this type of dwelling to get a sense of the region.
- Borgo San Marco (Fasano). Beautiful grounds surrounded by millenary olive trees. Great pool.
- Masseria Marzalossa (Fasano)
- Masseria Mozonne (Montalbono di Fasano). This is where we had the party. Great fun and well organized.
- Masseria Montalbono (Ostuni)
- Masseria Cimio (Savelletri di Fasano)
- Masseria Villa Cenci (Cisternino). Good food!
- La Sommita (Otsuni)
