Italy | Tour Code: 16992
A slower, more authentic side of Italy, explored in winter. Travel through Puglia and Matera, staying in a traditional Masseria, discovering UNESCO-listed villages and enjoying hands-on food experiences, all without the summer crowds.
Overview
Begin in the Puglian countryside, staying in a traditional masseria surrounded by olive groves and open fields. This is where Italy feels most authentic, simple, local and unhurried. From here, explore whitewashed villages like Alberobello, with its unique trulli houses, and enjoy genuine food experiences, from farm visits to hands-on cooking rooted in regional traditions.
Continue to Matera, one of Italy’s most extraordinary destinations, where ancient cave dwellings tell a story unlike anywhere else. Wander through its stone streets and discover a place shaped by history, culture and resilience.
Your journey ends in Lecce, known for its elegant Baroque architecture and lively atmosphere, where you can enjoy local flavours, relaxed dining and time to explore at your own pace.
