Welcome to Puglia
Forming the ‘heel of Italy’, Puglia offers everything from Adriatic-coast fishing ports to
remote hamlets and its signature ‘trulli’ – unique cone-roofed cottages. Yet aside from these draws, it’s also home to rustic cuisine, a simple lifestyle and robust wines, making it a place not just to explore but to immerse yourself in.
On this 7 night tour we base ourselves in Alberobello, the city of trulli, and visit not just highlights like Lecce and Matera, but some of Puglia’s hidden and most authentic gems. Discover quiet villages and medieval harbours, visit agritourism farms to watch bread and mozzarella being made, and enjoy classic Apulian cuisine at family-run restaurants along the way – bellissimo!
Relax at our authentic Trullo accommodation in the heart of Alberobello, for seven nights – we couldn’t be better placed; this is the perfect spot to enjoy and explore this wonderful region.

Tour Itinerary
Day 1 Flight to Bari
On arrival we meet our tour manager and set off for the UNESCO World Heritage Site and charming village of Alberobello, our base for seven nights, famed for its unique whitewashed drystone cottages with conical roofs known as ‘trulli’. We enjoy a guided walk to explore the village and stroll around the historical Rione Monti and Aia Piccola districts, home to around 1,000 of these unique dwellings, and learn about them as local farmers’ homes. Explore artisan boutiques tucked into Trulli, and soak in the peaceful rhythm of a town where time seems to slow down. In true Magari style, this is not just a visit – it’s an immersion in local tradition, architecture and hospitality that only a stay in an authentic Trullo can offer. We’ll also have free time to enjoy lunch or a glass of wine at leisure before we check into our authentic Trullo accommodation in the heart of Alberobello. In the evening, we enjoy a welcome drink and tasty anti-pasti followed by dinner in a local traditional trattoria within a short walking distance.
Meals included: Dinner
Day 2 Vintage drive, local Masseria, cooking class & orchard lunch
During our stay, a local trattoria just steps away from our Trullo will be serving a delicious daily buffet-style breakfast for us. After breakfast, we will be driven in a classic vintage car to explore this unique landscape known for its rolling hills, ancient olive groves and characteristic stone walls. We’ll be welcomed at a local family run ‘masseria’ farm which specialises in making its own delicious bakery produce. Afterwards, we’ll delve a little deeper into this region by enjoying a totally exclusive experience in a local family orchard, as we learn how to make pasta in a charming setting amongst the fruit trees. We’ll then be hosted by good friends of Magari for a delightful lunch with the freshest of ingredients grown just steps away from where we are sitting in the orchard. This evening, dinner will be at leisure.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 3 Locorotondo, Mozzerella making & Martina Franca
Following breakfast, we’ll have some more time to explore Alberobello before departing early afternoon. Winding through the green hills of the Valle D’Itria, we’ll pass olive groves and trulli villages to discover the pretty village of Locorotondo. Enjoy a short, guided walk around the centre before we head off to meet ‘Mama’ and ‘Nonna’ in their family run ‘masseria’ which specialises in making its own delicious dairy produce. Enjoy watching the art of making mozzarella from generations-old recipes – a totally fascinating and delicious experience! Our last visit of the day will be to beautiful Martina Franca, a historic and elegant town known for its Baroque architecture, whitewashed alleys and vibrant local life. Enjoy a short, guided walk around town before enjoying an authentic evening meal in our handpicked local restaurant.

Day 4 Polignano & Monopoli
Following breakfast, we make the short drive to Polignano, a delightful coastal town, rich in history and occupying a promontory surrounded by the sparkling blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. We have time to explore its narrow streets, bougainvillea filled church squares and take in the spectacular sea views. Another cultural delight is the charming seaside town of Monopoli which we visit next. Its historical centre features ancient fortifications and white houses, squares, and churches all set against a picturesque harbourside. Our time here is capped off with a tasty Apulian lunch at an authentic seafood eatery. After such a hearty lunch, this evening you may not have an appetite, so we have the flexibility of an evening at leisure in Alberobello.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 5 Matera, bread making, Gravina & Aglio Piccolo
Following breakfast we drive to the UNESCO-listed historic town of Matera, perched dramatically on an outcrop. Dating back 10,000 years, this magical place took a starring role in films such as The Passion of the Christ and Bond film, No Time to Die. We can admire some of its stone churches and explore the Sassi quarter, known for its Palaeolithic cave dwellings. To give us a mouth-watering flavour of local life, we’ll enjoy a bread making demonstration to see how the generations-old traditional bread is made. We’ll also visit the ancient town of Gravina, dramatically divided by a deep ravine (gravina), hence the name, carved by the Gravina River before returning to Alberobello then visiting rural Aglio-Piccola, a family-run Apulian ‘masseria’ farm for our dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 6 Lecce, Ostuni & Olive oil tasting
Following breakfast, we head to Italy’s ‘Florence of the South’ – the city of Lecce. This stunning city mixes baroque architecture with a buzzy atmosphere. We take a guided walk around the centre and admire treasures like the Basilica di Santa Croce, Piazza Duomo and the city’s hidden Roman remains. Our explorations end with free time for you to have lunch at a restaurant of your choosing. Later, we stop in hilltop Ostuni, dubbed the ‘white town’ for its shining white buildings. Enjoy a short, guided walk around the centre, and admire the far-reaching views to the Adriatic. During our return to Alberobello, we call at a medieval masseria to sample local olive oil.
Meals included: Breakfast

Following breakfast, we’ll have some time at leisure for last minute shopping in Alberobello. This afternoon we will visit the beautiful family-owned organic Cantina Torricella Winery. We’ll be shown around the vineyards to see how the family uses agronomic techniques to produce the different varieties of grapes before a mouth-watering tasting of the wines. Afterwards, we’ll stroll across the beautiful vineyard grounds to the family’s Masseria Torricella for this evening’s farewell meal.
