Hotels in Puglia 2023

Plunge into tradition: the genuineness and simplicity of the raw materials, the strong link with the past and respect of local customs will fascinate visitors, who will experience the unique, authentic character of this territory. Puglia will amaze you and involve you showing its most authentic aspects, which of course are its strong points. 

From a geographical point of view, it is a long tongue of land bathed by two seas, with coastal scenery of various types: along its shores, visitors will find rock formations, sheer cliffs dropping into the sea and wide stretches of sand. 

Ideal for any vacation in Puglia is the discovery of its different regions: not to be missed are Polignano a Mare, Monopoli and the Valle d’Itria, which includes localities such as Alberobello, the white city of Ostuni and Martina Franca.

From  Lecce down we enter the heartland of the Salento, the true ‘heel’ of the Italian boot, with lively Gallipoli, fascinating Otranto, Porto Cesareo, Santa Maria di Leuca...

In the extreme north of the region, also known as the ‘spur of Italy’ we find the Promontory of  Gargano: almost a separate territory, marked by a variety of plant and animal species and including the National Park of Gargano.    

How to reach Puglia

There are two major airports: the main one is Bari-Palese, the most northerly one (nearer to the  Gargano, at Polignano a Mare and Monopoli) is Brindisi-Casale, which covers the whole area of the Salento. To reach La Valle d’Itria, which is half way between, both airports are ideal: note that the distance between the two airports is about 130 km.

To move about freely and choose your own overnight stops, we suggest a rental car. Throughout your trip you will find large stretches of olive groves, many of them centuries old, and which have become over time authentic fascinating works of art. 

Hotel and farm holiday structures

Apart from the ‘classic’ hotels, namely town, seaside and resort hotels, there are also other types of accommodation with a strong blend of hospitality and tradition. We’re talking of the ‘Masserie’, typical of southern Italy and in particular of Puglia (the largest group is in the Valle d’Itria), and the ‘Trulli’, cone-shaped dry-stone structures typical of the central-southern region.  Both types, historically used as farms and for animal husbandry, are mainly located in the countryside. 

Family

There are a number of family-friendly hotels in the region: a selection offering a rich choice of entertainment, sports activities and family-dedicated services. A tailor-made vacation to suit all tastes and ages. 

Romantic

A perfect destination for a vacation as a couple, an invitation to stroll through the walls of cities rich in history and art and discover the various faces of the coast. The countryside arouses curiosity and leads guests to wander through the various areas, marked off by drystone walls, where from time to time you will catch a glimpse of an old farmhouse or a trullo; all set in the welcome silence and serenity of rural scenery. There are a number of romantic hotels to meet your tastes, everywhere: browse, dream and choose.
