Puglia
Where to stayPuglia is a vast region, and your choice of base depends entirely on your travel style. In 2026, trends point to a search for "slow travel" and authentic experiences in historic structures.
- Itria Valley (Ostuni, Locorotondo, Alberobello): The epicenter of Puglian charm. Ideal for those who want to stay in restored *trulli* or *masserias* (fortified farms). It is central and facilitates travel to both seas (Adriatic and Ionian).
- Lecce and Salento: The "baroque heart." Perfect for those seeking nightlife, urban gastronomy, and proximity to white sandy beaches in the south, such as Porto Cesareo.
- Bari and Polignano a Mare: The gateway. Ideal for those who prefer public transport (trains) and want to be close to the airport and iconic coastal spots.
- Expert Tip: For 2026, renting a car is essential in Puglia. The best accommodations (masserias) are in rural areas where public transport does not reach, and a car guarantees total freedom.
