Puglia: good to know
Where should you stay on a first trip to Puglia?
Start in or near the Valle d'Itria for Ostuni, the white towns and the Fasano coast. Add Salento as a second base when you have seven nights or more.
Is a masseria or town hotel better?
A masseria is better for pool time, landscape and slow dinners; a town hotel is better for walking to restaurants and seeing local life after day visitors leave.
Can you explore Puglia without a car?
Not efficiently from the hotels in this collection. A car is essential for rural masserie, beaches and a two-base itinerary.
