On this page of our web site we would like to give a brief guide to the best places to visit during your stay!

Needless to say, Puglia (just like the rest of Italy!) is very rich in "centri storici" historic city/town centres with beautiful monuments, churches, museums and other architectural beauties! Just in case you do not get to see all of these historic centres please make sure that you do not forget to take a walk through the centro storico of the Florence of the South - Lecce.

Lecce - Duomo

Ostuni is yet another town with a charming city centre which has given it the name & fame of being "The White City". The trullo paradise is also not to be forgotten, so Alberobello is well worth a visit! All three of the mentioned towns are big tourist attractions and yet remain 100% Italian in every sense.

As far as coastlines go Puglia has the best of it all!!! The Adriatic coastline from Otranto towards Santa Maria di Leuca

is rugged often compared with Sorrento and is a favourite getaway for the Italian rich and famous. As you drive up or down the coast you will come across delightful villages such as Castro, Santa Cesarea Terme, Tricase, and many others. The Adriatic coastline continues from Otranto northwards all the way north up towards Ostuni and Fasano with various types of beaches (i.e. public-private, rocky-sandy) lining the coast along the way.

The Ionian coast, on the other hand, offers visitors golden sandy beaches as well as beautiful towns like Gallipoli and an abundance of restaurants!!

Don't forget that if scuba diving is an activity you enjoy visit Otranto and its many diving centres.

If you are a golf enthusiast you can enjoy a round of golf at any of the following ;
The "Acaya Golf Club" www.acayagolfclub.it , near Lecce,
The "San Domenico Golf Club" www.imasseria.com/salsa/it/golf.html between Ostuni and Fasano.
The "Riva dei Tessali Golf Club" www.rivadeitessali.it near Taranto.

Selva di Fasano and Marina di Ostuni are both stunning with their natural beauty. While you are around Fasano visit the "Zoo Safari" where lions actually come up to your car (your windows must be shut!!) . Giraffes and camels put their heads into your car and eat apples out of your hands. One of the highlights is when you leave your car to go to the fairground where you find the "Monkey Train". Make sure you have bought lots of nuts at the entrance to enjoy the monkey experience at its best. This is a great day out for both adults and children.

Ostuni

Italian cuisine is of course as important (if not more important!) as its architecture and nature. After living in this food loving county for quite sometime now and enjoying the best Puglian cuisine and wine, we feel that it is only fair for us to share a few of our secret spots with the rest of the world! We may start by mentioning the lovely Masseria Gattamora also famous for its traditional menu.

This "volta a stella" restaurant is located just outside Uggiano La Chiesa, a small village south-west of Otranto. In order to get there you need to follow for Uggiano from

Otranto and as you arrive into the main square of Uggiano turn left before the church and follow the indications for "La Gattamora". For further information please visit www.gattamora.it !
