A new villa collective comes to Puglia. Launched by EPOCA Collection, the portfolio comprises chic private villas set between the Adriatic Sea and olive groves and designed to meet the demand of experienced travelers looking for comfort, quotidian wellness, sustainability, and authenticity.

This charming property, Dimora Dei Semplici, is one of several villas managed by EPOCA Collection and has already been chosen by several VIP travelers who loved the intimacy, privacy, and Provencal-like feeling. The six-bedroom villa is privy to its own vegetable and aromatic herb garden from which you can pick fresh herbs and produce.
Stretching out from the fully-equipped kitchen is a spacious lounge with a fireplace, and outside are two outdoor swimming pools with a shaded outdoor patio - complete with a pizza oven and barbecue facilities. The in-house concierge team is at your service to help plan your days and ensure a smooth holiday experience.

We came across this wonderful painting by Dire Str

We came across this wonderful painting by Dire Straits' bass guitarist, John Illsley, titled Puglia II (2017). It's from a three series painting created during his time in Puglia, and perfectly depicts the landscape when flying above the land.

This painting is available for sale at the Belgravia Gallery in London.

Basket weavers, textile producers, and master tail

Basket weavers, textile producers, and master tailors have worked in Puglia for centuries, if not more. Tireless workers, young trainees and women alike took to the looms, weaved under the trees in a shaded yard, or in the kitchen between meal preparations to create fishing nets, baskets, detailed embroidery, and linens for the home.

Over time, Puglia became a hub for tailoring factories and while many of these have disappeared in the face of economic strife and competitive production costs the region’s craft making traditions are making a major comeback thanks to young entrepreneurial artisans and cooperatives that are empowering locals to uphold the ancient trade of ‘handmade in Puglia', sharing yet another facet of fine Italian craftsmanship with the world.

Aren’t those vast, lush plains and shaded carpet

Aren’t those vast, lush plains and shaded carpets under the olive trees tempting?

They are indeed great for meditating or engaging in some yoga stretches, but they’re also picnic-perfect scenes.

We suggest heading over to some fine delis and putting together a basket of your favorite cheeses, cold cuts, crisp breads from Alta Mura and anything else that will warm your soul.

Need some ideas? Of course, that’s why we’re here:
@spaccio_mortadellajazz , Conversano
Caseificio Zaccaria Deli , Fasano
@numeriprimi.srl , Brindisi (second location in Monopoli)
@la_bottega_del_corso_lecce , Lecce

You can also book a picnic experience at Giardini Pistola, one of our latest favorite finds.

Prepare to be charmed and enchanted by Palazzo Don

Prepare to be charmed and enchanted by Palazzo Donna Elisabetta, one of the newest hospitality properties to open in Puglia. Of notable mention are the refined furniture pieces, plush bedding and textile, and eloquent wallpaper throughout the property that complement the palazzo’s historical features. You’re not only in one of Puglia’s “wine country” epicenters, but also close to the pristine, sandy beaches of Salento and beautiful towns that host summer festivals throughout July and August. Plus, there’s a spa in-house to give you a dose of well-being every day.

Today, we’re sharing the story of a lesser known

Today, we’re sharing the story of a lesser known town just minutes from the Baroque capital: Welcome to Monteroni di Lecce.

It is believed that the name Monteroni comes from the Latin Mons Tyronum (Mount of the Spear-Men), the possible location of a Roman training camp. Archaeological findings suggest that Monteroni was also the location of a military stronghold, with coins of the Roman era found here.

Frederick II granted fiefdom to the Montoroni family somewhere between the 14th and 15th centuries, there they built the first Baronial Palace in the shape of a small fortress - one of the biggest in the province of Lecce.

You can visit it today, along with additional sites including the bell tower and two chapels, designed in the Leccese Baroque style. The town’s prestigious status is evident in the majestic villas peppered along the roads and recognized by the Italian Botanical Heritage association.

You can also visit: Villa Carelli Palombi, Casina Andretta, Villa de Giorgi, and Villa Grassi.

If you’re looking for a break from sightseeing and the beaches, may we suggest a meditative ceramic workshop?
HIt the ‘pause’ button on smartphone texting and experiment with new materials, textures and colors to ignite your creativity, intuition and connect back to the simple things in life.

Hello Baglioni, lovely to have you here among us in Puglia.

Masseria Muzza is the latest addition to the Italian hotel collection, a sublime summer hideout steps from the sandy beaches of southern Salento and surrounded by pristine nature reserves that can be explored on foot or bicycle.

Since you’d be at the southern tip of the peninsula, we recommend at least five days to rest, recharge and explore.

La Cialledda, also known locally as ‘Acquasale’, is a very traditional dish in Puglia and Basilicata that uses ‘yesterday’s bread’ or crumbled friselle, softened by the juices of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, sprinkled with olive oil and topped with red onions and fresh basil.

It’s fresh, crunchy and delicious in its simplicity.

Reminds us of the Lebanese ‘Fattoush’, doesn’t it?

Looking for a private villa rental in Puglia?

We recommend Villa La Torre Bianca, spank in the middle of Gagliano del Capo.

Designed by owner Lorenzo Grifantini, the villa is utterly charming, spacious, functional and family-friendly. Equally helpful is its close proximity to the sandy beaches on the Ionian Coast, port towns that make perfect spots for dinner, and a host of villages with shops that can be enjoyed after sunset.
