Small Boutique hotels in APULIA

On the heel of Italy's boot, Apulia is a region of arid beauty bathed by the waters of the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Bari, capital of Apulia, cherishes its unique medieval old town. In the surroundings, the Castel del Monte stands out, with its iconic octagonal shape. The city of Trani is a small coastal jewel where the waves lick the Svevo Castle and the Cathedral, with the magnificent crypt of San Nicolás.

It has great archeological wealth. Because of its location, Apulia partakes of both the Greek and Byzantine culture. The stages of history can be seen undeniably in Vieste on the promontory of Gargano, on a cliff, and the medieval city of Ostuni, in the countryside.

The city of Lecce, with a rich heritage, is known as the Florence of the south. Churches, palaces or the Piazza del Duomo, boast exuberant carvings in stone that have given rise to the so-called baroque leccese. Nearby are the spectacular natural rock arches of the Torre de San't Andrea on the Salento peninsula.

Apulia is also famous for its olive oil and wines. Try them in the traditional masserias, the country houses of the area. Alberobello has a concentration of more than a thousand "trulli", the distinctive conical Apulian construction. Originally from the 14th century, they are listed with UNESCO World Heritage. Some have been transformed into small charming hotels.
