About puglia

Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, lies between two seas with the Adriatic to

the East and the Ionian to the south. This strategic position, combined with over 800 kilometers of beautiful coastline, has shaped the region’s history and development. Puglia is known as the natural Italian gate to the East of the Mediterranean area. Puglia is a land of ancient history and civilizations, archaeological Roman and Greek ruins lie here alongside masterpieces of medieval architecture, such as castles and noble palaces, historic quarters and Baroque architecture. The three UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Puglia, Frederick of Hohenstaufen’s mysterious Castel del Monte, the unique Trulli of Alberobello and the mystical Lombard Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo hold centuries of history and culture, stunning beauty, spirituality and priceless emotions.A landscape of green rolling hills showcases small historical towns surrounded by lush green olive groves and vineyards. Little harbors alternate with fortresses and lighthouses along miles of coastline of white sandy beaches and crystal clear water.The magical atmosphere of our land has inspired many international film producers. Visitors are enthralled by the charming

countless events and summer festivals many of which take place under the starry Puglia Sky. Puglia is a region that combines ancient traditions with modern lifestyle. Glamorous fashion shops are along the main streets of each town while restaurants offer the best traditional local cuisine. Stores display food products from inland and seaside regional areas, providing customers with aromas and flavors of the best Food and wines.The warm hospitality of the people from Puglia makes visitors feel at home.

What an emotion to go along the coast of the Gargano coast,

passing from the cliffs overhanging the sea to the expanses of white sand, from the Faraglioni of Vieste and Mattinata to the multicolor seabed of the different natural bays. Dinner or simply a visit on a Trabucco can be a uniqu se and unforgettable experience here.Not just the sea, though. In Puglia you

will find an amazing and unexplored nature such as the Umbra Forest, the heart of the Gargano National Park where the mountain bike or the trekking itineraries are innumerable together with the salt marshes, among the largest in Europe, such as those of Margherita di Savoia, with an impressive colony of pink flamingos in the humid zone of the Salso Lake oasis in Manfredonia.

“Here’s the image we Americans have been sold: For the past few thousand years, Puglia, the region encompassing the heel of Italy’s boot, has been the summer destination for young, happy, beautiful Italians, who enjoy pristine beaches, crystalline water, reliably perfect temperatures, fresh fish and midnight parties held in ancient seaside towns laid out in white stone”Danielle PergamentNew York Times

Friendly, warm, authentic and exclusive land. Puglia makes sounds, smells

and tastes more intense as an extended enjoyment in time. A landscape made of green rolling hills showcases small historical towns surrounded by lush green olive groves and vineyards. Miles of coastline alternate little harbours with fortresses and lighthouses to

white sandy beaches and crystal clear water. The magical atmosphere of our land has inspired many international film producers. Visitors are captured by the charm of the countless events and summer festivals many of which take place under the starry Puglia’s sky. Prestigious and charming spa and golf facilities offer a break of pure relaxation,

discovering a region in which it is easier to take the right time to pamper oneself. Corners left unexplored by the usual tours will become the ideal place for an exclusive stay for those who look for quality, discretion and charm. No coincidence that so many are the beautiful location suggested, even for effective celebrations or for unforgettable honeymoons.

“Head to the heel of Italy’s boot and discover a region with reasons to celebrate local food all year round. Gourmet heaven, the name is Puglia”.Lonelyplanet

Puglia is a region of art and culture, with its hidden treasures. It is

charming to follow, from the Gargano to the Salento, the defensive system, which, made Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins build towers, castles and fortified villages through centuries. Apparently there are about 400 coastal towers and innumerable castles. A great contribution was given by Frederick II, to whom we owe the most well-known and enigmatic Castel del Monte. All visitors are dazzled by the noble beauty of Trani with its rich countryside where excellent wine and olive oil are produced. And then there is Ruvo, where the Talos Vase, jealously guarded at the Jatta Museum, is not to be missed. Continuing towards Bari it is compulsory to stop in Bitonto to visit it together with its Devanna National Gallery.The extraordinary changeability of the Apulian landscape and its culture is perceived by covering its long stretch of coast. From Nardò, among bays and cliffs protected by a beautiful marine reserve, the coastal towers peep through at regular intervals, once as the only defensive bulwark from pirate raids,

today as a familiar presence. The Salento area, border and welcome land, where the griko language is still spoken in some of its beautiful villages, together with a unique demonstration of baroque art, such as in Galatina, Copertino and above all Lecce, the foundation of an exclusive and sweet typicality to enjoy among the winding streets of its historic district or simply by losing oneself in front of the facade of the Holy Cross Church.Taranto, a true coastal town. The”City of the Two Seas”: this is called Taranto for its location on a spit of land that divides the open sea, known as the Great Sea from the Mar Piccolo. The canal that unites them is surmounted by the famous swing bridge, beyond which lies the heart of the old Taranto, a medieval village with the Cathedral of San Cataldo, the Aragonese Castle - also known as the Castel Sant’Angelo - and many other memories tell its ancient origins as its imposing Doric columns. Not to forget also a visit to the museum of ceramics in the nearby Grottaglie, where the mastery of its artisans is rooted in a century old tradition here.

“Ever since ancient times, Puglia, thanks to this land’s particular nature and geographical position, has been an essential link between continental Europe and the ancient civilizations that developed on the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean.Between the 11th and the 13th centuries, when this role was particularly significant, it produced great achievements that marked the history, culture and arts of the whole region but also of medieval Europe”. UNESCO

La Notte della Taranta, Melpignano (LE)ph. credit Carlo Elmiro Bevilacqua

13

Come and dance in Puglia… riding the wave of this tune, almost a mantra,

crowds of tourists claim their right to a legitimate entertainment every year … and Puglia does not wait to be asked twice, instead it displays its best cards there is something for all tastes!And after a long day spent at sea, the long Salento night begins on

beaches which become venues on the sea shore or in the streets of the beautiful old towns, between small clubs and disco-bars. Not to be missed the appointment with the Notte della Taranta pizzica music festival, in Melpignano, as it is confirmed by hundreds of thousands of young people from all over the world.

Puglia is much more than beaches, however. It’s about breathing in Italy’s piazza mentality, where life is sipped one cappuccino at a time, and slowing it to a Sunday evening stroll while sampling the local gelato.John HendersonTampa Bay Times

It is not necessary to be a fervent Christian to feel moved at going down

the staircase which leads to the Angel’s cave in the Monte Sant’Angelo Basilica or at admiring the Tree of Life represented on the mosaic floor of the Cathedral in Otranto.The devotion, which brings thousands of pilgrims to Monte Sant’Angelo, along the ancient route of the Via Sacra Langobardorum or to San Giovanni

Rotondo, the town where Saint Pius lived and died, following the ancient route known as the Southern Via Francigena, is a fundamental part of the Apulian culture.Cathedrals, churches and shrines are witnesses of an artistic path influenced by dominations and lordships and nowadays they preserve the remains and the relics that make them ‘important’ places and pilgrimage destinations.

“Puglia can resemble Greece in its whitewashed hill towns, such as Ostuni in the central Murge hills, or Vieste, built into the rugged limestone cliffs above the Adriatic on the Promontorio del Gargano. Or Spain, in the southern baroque style of Lecce. Or the Near East, in the curlicued details of its Romanesque-era cathedrals, almost everywhere. Or it can resemble a world unto itself in the beehive-shaped dwellings of Alberobello”Robert V. CamutoThe Washington Post

GARGANO AND DAUNIA

What if in August you will find yourself on an almost deserted beach or eating fish in a stilt house on the water? That would not be an exotic place, but simply Gargano, the most northern part of Puglia.

Maybe you parked at Bosco Isola passing the Mediterranean

vegetation which separates the sea from lake Varano.From there you can see Tremiti island, an hour by boat from Rodi Garganico or 20 minutes by helicopter leaving from Foggia. Be a castaway for one day, around the bay, caves, cliffs, towers and multicoloured seabeds. Along the coast from Vieste to Peschici you will find giant structures submerged on the sea: ancient “Trabucchi”, an extraordinary fishing system which today became restaurants on the sea. For accommodation, there are renovated houses in Vico del Gargano with several Hotels in its historic centre.You are in the heart of the Oasi Agrumaria and the Umbra Forest, in

between the most beautiful area of the Gargano National Park.The coastal road from Vieste to Manfredonia offers a crystal sea and a spectacular coast, just like the bay of Pugnochiuso and of Vignanotica.But Gargano is not just sea; it’s a religious land full of Christian devotion, with the Sanctuary of San Michele and Monte Sant’Angelo, Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo. A little known route is one through the Monti Dauni, a city with a glorious past named Lucera, continuing among one of the most beautiful villages in Italy known as Bovino and beautiful cathedrals such as the one of Troia. Forget time and indulge in a slow trip, become seekers of culinary treats and sample the ‘piatti della memoria’. Around you are sun-scorched hills, lush forests and gardens of lost flavors.

IMPERIAL PUGLIA

Wide horizons, bold colours, sometimes harsh and a bit lunar. Such is the landscape at Murgia, from the Imperial Puglia, dominated by the presence of Federico II and by three artistic cities with a glorious past: Barletta, Andria and Trani.

Find out slowly cycling through olive groves, trekking in the evenings of

August or by car, driving slowly so you are free to deviate at any time to enjoy the views. Such a place to be admired is the enclosed Valle d’Ofanto where there is the longest river in the region, the Adriatic Sea and at the top of the hill lays Alta Murgia National Park, which stretches mostly in the territory of Bari. It is a Limestone plateau, with expanses of fields and rocky outcrops, grassland characterized by the sheep paths, ancient carob trees, bushes of lentiscus plant and colourful wild orchids in spring. The rare lesser kestrel flies above the imposing castles and the stern Castel del Monte, which is also a World Heritage Site. Among the splendid Romanesque cathedrals is the admirable one which stands at Trani and looks like its suspended over the sea. Experience the history of important archaeological areas

in Canosa di Puglia and the Battle of Cannae, where Annibale to the Romans inflicted a terrible defeat.

If you are true lovers of gastronomy, Puglia Imperiale is the right place for you: DOC wines such as the red Canosa, Barletta and the sweet Moscato di Trani. Authentic cuisine, featuring the wild vegetables of the Murgia, the Cardoncello mushroom, the lampascioni (wild onions) and the mozzarella and burrata from Andria. If you’re looking for a sense of well-being, Margherita di Savoia is renowned for its spa and famous for its salt plains, the most extensive in Europe. If you love nature, do not miss the bird watching along the Sentiero Airone in the State Reserve: expanding for 4,000 hectares, more than 30,000 specimens of birds every year, including herons, avocets, cavalieri d’Italia and pink flamingos.

Buildings from the Umberto era, designed in littorio style (architecture

style used during the fascism time) or liberty such as the Teatro Kursaal Santa Lucia, eclectics like the Provincial Government Building or the Albergo delle Nazioni monument.

Polignano a Mare is also similar, and is the birthplace of Domenico Modugno and the sculptor Pino Pascali,

of whom the museum of contemporary art is dedicated to. The coastline is dotted with caves, coves and cliffs, along the bay of San Vito and Cala Paura. In Monopoli, its historic centre is a maze of narrow streets that wind between buildings and tower houses. Visit the Castle of Carlo V, whose rooms house exhibitions, concerts and shows. The city is famous for it’s long beach of Capitolo with sand dunes and inlets: relax yourself in the most exclusive beach bars and enjoy the excellent Pugliese sushi, grouper, shrimp and sea urchins. Leave behind the sea and head inland, without a precise route follow the green almond and olive hills towards Conversano, home to the tastiest variety of cherries, the ‘Ferrovia’. Noicattaro along with Rutigliano and Adelfia are known as the ‘hollow gold’ area of Puglia where the land is full of cultivated vineyards, whose grapes are known as ‘Vittoria’ and other famous world varieties.

The first and only five-star hotel in the city, in the chicest part of town on the very central promenade Nazario Sauro, is the Boscolo Bari, the new luxury destination, which redefines the Barese waterfront with a fresh image; an original restyling, a fusion of glorious retro charm and contemporary trends of a luxury lifestyle. The fil rouge that, with Italo Rota’s creative whim and design genius, ties history with new interior design solutions and skilfully integrates precious inspiration from the 1930’s. The Mediterranean colours of the interior make the sea an icon, an unbreakable bond between tradition and modernity. Bright surfaces, mirror effects, light blue and orange tie and blend the hotel with the city that surrounds it, rediscovering its original identity from a dynamic viewpoint.

A set of cone-roofed Trullo houses and tufa-stone Masseria villas, surrounded by pines, gardens and orchards, situated on a hilly ridge 400 metres above sea level. Originally a convent dated 1790, the old burg consists of a cluster of 28 trulli, where the Benedictine nuns used to perform their daily rural routine. The old kitchen of the monastery and the stable have been converted in one of the most characteristic restaurants in the area. Not far from the trulli village, six white buildings called Masseria (Italian for country house) were built on the ruins of old houses. Each masseria has a number of modern bedrooms equipped with air conditioning and central heating, mini-bar, LCD TV set, direct telephone, hair - drier, safe and satellite channels. In this fairy-tale location, Tenuta Monacelle holds “Il Ciliegeto”, the restaurant where refined and typical apulian dishes are prepared by a professional and friendly staff.

MAGNA GRAECIA, MURGIA AND GRAVINAHere, the rock is the absolute highlight. Deep crevasses, underground ravines, natural caves, mid-air terraces and steep slopes. You will have the feeling of being in an American canyon while you find yourself in the Alta Murgia Barese and the Gravine tarantine.

Gravina in Puglia overlooks a ravine and is home to the Alta Murgia

National Park. Among the many churches made of rock, do not miss the one of San Michele. Altamura is famous for its “Dop” bread, unique in Europe and also famous for its Dinosaur Footprints in the Pontrelli quarry over three hundred thousand old. Also for the “Uomo di Altamura”, the skeleton of a hominid who lived about 250 thousand years ago (between the Neanderthals and the Herectus). Horse ride down the first stretch of the “Ippovia dei Trulli e della Murgia” which was opened in 2011, then arrive in Cassano delle Murge, passing through the Forest of Mercadante. If

you are fond of mozzarella and burrata cheese make a stop in Gioia del Colle. Santeramo in Colle is the realm of horsemeat and “ready made ovens” attached to butchers or delicatessens.Further south in Parco delle Gravine, which surrounds the Gulf of Taranto, Laterza is 12 km long, the largest canyon in Europe and is known for its tradition of Mottola bread. The cripta di San Nicola deserves a visit with its great fresco of the Last Judgement, whilst in Massafra you can take a tour of the churches made from rock of the 10th and 11th centuries. Stay in the countryside of Crispiano, the town of a hundred farms and choose Castellaneta Marina, with its

Aleppo pine forests, white beaches and crystal clear sea. Also if you love golf or want to get back into shape with thalassotherapy. Taranto, the ancient capital of the Greek Empire is only 15 minutes away. A swing bridge divides the Old town from the New Town, which lies on an island. One of the most important National Archaeological Museums in Italy is the MarTa museum. Here do not miss the outstanding collection of goldsmith’s, “Ori di Taranto”, which are antique rings, tiaras and bracelets. After, you can reach Grottaglie where you can enjoy a walk in the ceramics quarter, famous throughout the world.

ITRIA VALLEY AND MURGIA OF TRULLI

Countryside populated throughout the whole year, characterized by trulli and dry stonewalls that surround vineyards and olive groves as far as the eye can see. This ís what the Itria valley looks like.

The scenery is magic and to enjoy it all you have to cross towns

like Alberobello, a UNESCO world heritage site with its 1400 trulli or Locorotondo, which takes its name from the circular plan of the town, dominated by cummerse, the ancient buildings with slanted roofs. The medieval centre of Cisternino, also known as the Island, evokes the image of an oriental village with its houses painted lime and oil burners attached to slaughterhouses where you can taste ìbombetteî and ìgnumariddeî. To sleep, if you want to stay in touch with the locals, choose the ‘hotel spread’ (local housed accommodation under the same management). Between July and August, take a trip to the beautiful baroque town of Martina Franca and attend the Festival of the Itria Valley, which offers many unpublished opera. The charming plain of Fasano, full of olive groves and close to the sea, is full of beautiful farmhouses transformed

into spa resorts with golf courses and relaxing treatments and is only a few steps from Egnazia, one of the most important archaeological sites in Italy. Among Torre San Leonardo and Torre Canne meet the Regional Park delle dune costiere, a surprising landscape that stretches for 1100 hectares with a variety of habitats: from the beautiful beach to the expansive farms with centuries-old olive trees. Ostuni, the white city, is a succession of arches, towers, palaces, courtyards, terraces, alleys, noble mansions and shops. Ceglie Messapica together with Carovigno are important stops for food lovers with restaurants of international fame and award-winning chefs. On the coast, an old coastal tower surrounded by ancient olive trees, Mediterranean vegetation, wetlands and tall sand dunes became a Marine Protected Area and Nature Reserve: discover Torre Guaceto doing ciclotrekking, seawatching or a nature laboratory.

The Masseria Montenapoleone is located in Puglia, in southern Italy somewhere between magic and forgotten. The region is rich in history and culture, yet has remained remarkably untouched by mass tourism, and therefore retains a charm seldom found in these well-travelled parts of Europe. The Masseria, was refurbished and renovated not to stand out, but rather to be part of the nature around it. Some of the rooms are even original caves and dwellings of the first settlers in the area hundreds of years ago. Each room, corner and secret area has been redesigned or embellished to encompass the natural beauty, which it already possesses. When you open the door of one of the suites, you are carried away to a world of serenity and unique rustic beauty. Each suite has been designed differently with revived artifacts, which are both a journey into imagination, and a memory of a time gone. An endemic nostalgia transports you to a time that you now belong to, all the while surrounded by all the modern amenities you need. The Masseria Montenapoleone provides an accommodation service (B&B formula) with 15 rooms.List of facilities and services: barbecue and kitchen area, wi-fi, booking Service for the main activities in the area (golf, horse riding, tennis...), car park, swimming Pool & Bar, rental bicycles service, cooking/painting classes and workshops of popular dances.The seaside is just 5 minutes down the road from the Masseria.

In the heart of an area rich in art, history and traditions, the Victor Country Hotel is a 4 stars resort which stands on over 42 hectares grassland, among oaks, ancient olive trees and dry-stone walls, in the luxuriant vegetation of the wonderful country of Alberobello (the capital of trulli acknowledged as human heritage of inestimable value by UNESCO in 1996). The resort arises from the renewal of a 19th century masseria (typical Italian farm). It has been conceived according to a definitely innovative architectural style which combines the traditional materials used to recovery ancient constructions, such as the pietra viva (typical close and clear Italian stone), wood and wrought iron, with a modern and revolutionary design characterized by square and well defined lines. The old America style given by the blue, orange, green and violet colors is reminiscent of the colonial architecture of the hand-painted wooden houses. 38 rooms, including 4 junior suites, for total 84 beds), restaurant, american bar, mountain bikes, trekking trails, outdoor swimming pool located between rocks and olive trees, outdoor easyline technogym training circuit, wellness room/ancient fienile, outdoor kids playing area, pets welcome.

SALENTO

A boarder land embraced by two seas, with miles of coastline and where white sandy beaches give way to secret coves and cliffs.

Then straight to Lecce to discover the ineffable world of Baroque, with its

cloisters, palaces, papier-mâché shops, the beautiful Santa Croce basilica and Piazza Duomo. If you like good wine, do not miss the journey around the lands of Negroamaro and Primitivo wine, especially Manduria. If you want to discover lesser known parts of Puglia go to Oria, dominated by the castle of Frederick II from the 13th century or Francavilla Fontana, full of old houses and medieval walls or Mesagne with

the beautiful Chiesa Matrice and its imposing castle. At sunset, go to Brindisi where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the inner harbour, sitting at a table of one of the many cafes on the Regina Margherita waterfront. One of the largest natural harbours in the Mediterranean, where two thousand years ago it was the major port for the Roman Empire and where the legendary company Valigie delle Indie sailed direct to Bombay in the nineteen century.

Masseria Altemura is an estate that is situated within the production zone of the Primitivo di Mandura D.O.C., one of the terroirs most suitable for making top-quality wines in Italy. The Zonin Family opened the Masseria Altemura in October 2012 after an architectural intervention on the build-ings and on the land. The total area of the property is over 300 hectars - of which 130 are vineyards and 40 consist of olive groves. On the land where there once grew ancient bush-trained vines, new rows of the best indig-enous grape varieties have been planted since the year 2000, in line with entirely environmentally sustainable guidelines. The first phase of major investment in the land was followed by the refurbishment of the Masseria itself, as well as the construction of the innovative winery designed to fit in with the surrounding countryside, with at least possible visual impact and built using local materials. The Masseria Altemura is a modern and technological winery with an antique soul. The architectural interven-tion on the buildng respected the original plan. Nothing has been left to chance, starting with the materials emplyed: the limestone paving stones, the calcarenite, the tufa and the white stone coming from the surrounding area and used in acient times. Particular care has been reserved for the restoration of two constructions that are of historical importance for the area: the massive tower, which will be transformed into luxurious acco-modation for guests of the estate, and a private chapel with frescoes that date from the 16th century.

The project Turistingioco starts from the desire to extend the opportunity to appreciate Puglia cultural heritage to all citizens, even those who have special needs, such as disabled and elderly people, children and families. We plan customized cultural, naturalistic and gastronomical itineraries, to be modeled on request in order to meet each specific need. We organize, in cooperation with schools, touristic and educational activities giving the possibility to children to experience a lively approach to cultural heritage. We promote and enhance the knowledge of the vast cultural and natural heritage we have in our region. We provide advice about the touristic activi-ties in relation to the choice of itineraries. The routes emphasize culture, en-vironment, handicrafts, local traditions on a territory of great potential and are developed along unusual and unexplored roads. The activities involve artisans and workshops that still use traditional production techniques, visits to ancient monuments, archaeological and naturalistic parks and the discovery of typical traditions. We intend to follow a broader approach to heritage, through an extensive network of services and the overcoming of still existing architectural barriers that prevent a full enjoyment of the experience. The tours can be given in several languages. We also organize touristic itineraries for blind people, thanks to our guides specialized in tactile technique. Turistingioco provides also the services of language.

Aeroporti di Puglia has the exclusive forty-year management concession for the entire airport

network of Puglia, made up of the airports of Bari, Brindisi, Foggia and Grottaglie. As the sole manager of said network, the company has done a lot for infrastructure development, a constant improvement in quality standards of the services provided and a growth in connections and traffic. A modern and dynamic region of Southern Italy, Puglia’s airport asset is today differentiated by type of traffic – with structure of the highest technological and professional level – and perfectly integrated with other means of transport. Puglia’s airport network is one of the most interesting of Italy and Europe’s airports, thanks to its position and infrastructure. Its fortuitous location, in the centre of a strategic geographical area such as the Mediterranean, makes it a truly vital junction that supports the continental transport networks. In 2012, approximately 5.9 million passengers passed through the airports of Bari and Brindisi heading for national and international destinations, thanks to the commitment that Aeroporti di Puglia has dedicated to developing flights that today connect the region with all of the most important market areas of Europe. The growth and stabilisation of the connections, guaranteed by the main low cost and traditional carriers who by now link Puglia to the most important national and international destinations and with the main European hubs, have favoured the deseasonalisation of influx - especially abroad - increasing the number of tourists reaching the region’s main resorts, and not just during the summer. Puglia was one of the first Italian regions to take up a fundamental tool to define its airports’ lines

of development. An airport network logic within a context of diffusion and specialisation, identifying particular operative and traffic factors for each individual airport so they can best stand up to the contingent difficulties of air transportation. The Government Guidelines Act for the National Airport Plan confirms the choices made: the inclusion of Bari Airport in the list of strategic airports is a clear recognition of the excellence reached by the structure over these years on both the infrastructure side as well as that of the connections and intermodal network. The introduction of the railway connection for the airport further improved the levels of accessibility throughout the territory, placing it among the most important airports of the continent. Brindisi airport is increasingly establishing itself as a leading pole for low cost connections. Said connections make up a determining factor of development of one tourist area that over the past years – thanks also to the higher availability of connections – has become extremely widespread. However, in the network logic, the other Puglia airports also play a precise role. Foggia airport is destined to national and regional connections, as well as the charter traffic relating to the tourist destination Gargano. The project to lengthen the runway - currently in the advanced authoritative phase - will allow the use of larger capacity aircraft, further qualifying the airport’s efficiency. Taranto – Grottaglie airport, on the other hand, while mainly carrying out a strategic cargo-logistics role in the ambit of Alenia’s international programme for the onsite production of Boeing 787 fuselage, may be part of a line activity with the main Italian hubs and charter connections, should the correct conditions be determined.
