Romantic Escape in Puglia
Romantic Escape in Puglia
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Tourism for Two Puglia is a romantic destination by definition, offering many traditional white former farmhouses 'masserie' turned into luxury romantic hotels, ideal for your escapes' and honeymoon. Visiting the trulli of Alberobello in couple is a pleasant and memorable experience. These tiny conical houses are dotted throughout the Murge and still dominate the landscape around the baroque villages of the countryside. Take a boat tour in summer to see the tiny coves along the craggy coast near Polignano that sits above the pounding surf. Buy ceramics in Grottaglie as a reminder of your time together. Stop for a drink in the old town in Locorotondo and then escape underground in the beautiful Castellana Caves. A trip to Puglia is all about food. Feed your love and take a cooking class together and tour an olive oil farm. In Bari's Kasbah-style old town watch grannies sitting on their doorsteps making tiny little pasta shaped like ears, orecchiette. Eat wild hyacinths, lampascioni and at Christmas the dessert cartellate, which are deep-fried pastries drizzled with honey or 'vinsanto' to sweeten your lips.
Walk Hand in Hand Along the beautiful beach at Otranto and stroll around the baroque cities of Nardo' and Lecce, known as the Florence of the South. The 'white city' of Ostuni is a romantic spot and one of southern Italy's most stunning towns.
The Romantic Meal Dine under the stars at Masseria Il Frantoio, where they serve traditional Apuglian dishes made with the harvest of their own cottage garden. They only serve wine from Puglia so make a toast in style.
Get in the Mood Take a day trip to Matera to see the cave dwellings. The town sits high up above a ravine. Then take a hike in the Murgia Park, which is dotted with rock-hewn churches. It's the place to be just the two of you.
