Puglia, Italy’s scenic “heel,” is a treasure trove of breathtaking coastlines, history, and authentic Italian charm. With its inviting climate, Puglia shines in the mild seasons of spring and fall. Framed by the crystal-clear Adriatic and Ionian Seas, this region offers stunning beaches and vibrant towns, ideal for an immersive experience.
Begin in Bari, the capital, known for its atmospheric Old Town (Bari Vecchia) with narrow streets, lively markets, and the historic Basilica di San Nicola. Bari’s seafront promenade is perfect for a leisurely stroll, and as a base, it’s excellent for practicing Italian with locals.
From Bari, explore Puglia’s unique landmarks. The trulli houses of Alberobello, with their whimsical conical roofs, are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Farther south, Lecce dazzles with Baroque architecture, especially the Basilica di Santa Croce, earning it the nickname “Florence of the South.” Discover the medieval charm of Ostuni, a whitewashed hill town, and venture to nearby Matera, where ancient Sassi cave dwellings reveal Italy’s deep history.
For a relaxed coastal retreat, head to Polignano a Mare, known for its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and sparkling waters. Puglia is also a paradise for food lovers. Savor local specialties like orecchiette pasta, burrata cheese, and fresh seafood, all complemented by regional wines such as Primitivo and Negroamaro.
With its blend of culture, relaxation, and stunning landscapes, Puglia offers an unforgettable journey into Italy’s authentic heart.

There is so much to see and do in Paris, and Language & Luxury provided all the arrangements - and the instructor - to make sure that my time in Paris was as personally fulfilling and rewarding as possible.
