PUGLIA ACCOMMODATION ITALY

Puglia is the region in the heel of the boot of Italy. It is now being discovered for its beautiful beaches with white sand on the Adriatic coast. The crystal clear, acqua waters and simple way of life are being sought out by the tourists who want to escape the crowds in summer elsewhere.

Most of the beaches are wide and sandy, giving way to attractive rocky coves, some with magnificent sea caves, in parts of Gargano and the Salentino peninsula.

The old towns of the Salento coast are gems teeming with Baroque architecture, desconsecrated chapels and plazzi that have fallen into disrepair. These are is a veritable treasure trove for those in search of character, space and beauty.  Towns such as Nardo, Galatina and Gallipoli are divine finds. Winding cobbled streets, lapped by septuagenarians on scooters, hide themselves away from the outside world.

Many of the inland villages possess artistic or scenic interest, often with important historical remains.  Go and see the villages of Monte S. Angelo, standing in a panoramic position on the Gargano hills and Alberobello, with its extraordinary Trulli, stay in one of the conical stone houses which are still used today.
