Puglia, or Apulia, is a region in southeastern Italy forming the heel of the country’s “boot.” It borders the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and is known for its historic cities, Baroque architecture in Lecce, and the trulli houses of Alberobello, a UNESCO site. Bari is the capital, and the region is one of Italy’s leading producers of olive oil.
Escape for a luxurious 6 nights and 7 days in Puglia, Italy, at a peaceful 1886 historical villa, surrounded by olive groves and the Adriatic coast. This retreat includes cultural excursions, coastal village visits, farm-to-table dining, and local wines—combining relaxation, exploration, and authentic regional experiences.
People often ask me, “Why Puglia?” The truth is, Puglia just feels different, and that’s why I love it. It’s not crowded or overly touristy, and there’s something incredibly calming about being surrounded by olive groves, and a pace of life that actually lets you breathe.
You can expect real Italian hospitality, incredible meals made from local ingredients, and a sense of ease that’s hard to find elsewhere. I’ve planned this retreat based on the places, experiences, and little moments that made me fall in love with Puglia. I want you to feel what I feel when I’m there: relaxed, welcomed, and genuinely connected to this beautiful part of Italy.
Sail the Adriatic in style—private boat, Aperol spritz, and views you’ll brag about forever.
Sleep like a queen in an 1886 historic villa (crown optional, comfort guaranteed)
Wake up spoiled with breakfast ready and espresso in the air….consider this your morning magic.
Wander (and shop) cute villages because… obviously.
You’ll clink glasses, laugh too loudly, and bond with women who feel like instant besties.
Let yourself take a real break. No cooking, no planning, no rushing. Everything is taken care of.
You deserve a getaway that’s luxe but never uptight, warm people, real moments, unforgettable vibes.
