Sunny Puglia
Trip highlights:
- Cave city of Matera
- Trulli village of Alberobello
- Olive gold & olive leaf beer
Discover the magic of the south in a typical country estate
On this flight holiday, you will discover the real Puglia, far from the crowds. Instead of packing your suitcase every day, you will stay at the Masseria Caselli, a traditional Apulian country estate set amid olive groves, and get to know the region from here at a leisurely pace. Traditional bread baking, the region's golden olive oil and the warm hospitality of the Apulians make this trip a genuine encounter with southern Italy.
Trip details
Day 1: Switzerland - Bari
Flight to Bari, the lively capital of Puglia. Your transfer takes you comfortably to the Masseria, your base for the coming days.
Day 2: Trani – Giovinazzo – Bisceglie
The cathedral of Trani is one of the finest examples of Apulian Romanesque architecture and stands right by the sea. You will stop in the former fishing village of Giovinazzo before following the path of golden olive oil at an oil mill near Bisceglie. During the tasting, you will try olive leaf beer.
Day 3: Altamura – Matera
In Altamura, the «City of Bread», you will learn about the art of the famous Pane di Altamura. The journey continues to Matera, with its Sassi cave dwellings hewn into the tuff rock, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At a rock dwelling and the cave church, you will experience how people once lived here. Back at the hotel, the day ends with the spirited Pizzica dance.
Day 4: Lecce – Otranto
(Optional excursion) Lecce, the «Florence of the South», enchants with the playful façade of the Basilica di Santa Croce. In the coastal town of
Otranto, the Aragonese Castle watches over the old town, before a wine tasting crowns the day. If you prefer to stay behind, you can enjoy the Masseria.
Day 5: Alberobello – Ostuni
Through the «Valle d'Itria», you will reach Alberobello with its characteristic trulli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A resident will open the doors to his trullo for you. The dazzling white town of Ostuni, with its late Gothic cathedral, sits enthroned on a hill.
Day 6: Bari – Switzerland
With many sunny memories, you will take your flight back to Switzerland.
The Masseria Caselli, a traditional Apulian country estate amid olive groves, welcomes you with plenty of charm. The 4* hotel is located about 5 km from the sea and 25 km from Brindisi. A restaurant, café, bar, outdoor pool and garden terrace invite you to linger. The elegant rooms are equipped with bath or shower/WC, TV, minibar, air conditioning and balcony. A breakfast buffet awaits you in the morning and a 3-course menu in the evening. Equivalent hotel if unavailable.
