Puglia, or Apulia as it is sometimes called is the heel of Italy, it is magical and compelling. Its charm seduces everyone, its trulli houses fascinate, and, once discovered, its lasting impression is like a magnet to return. Adapting to eating really good food and having a slower pace of life, for a week or two is, of course, no hardship – just sheer joy.
Puglia, or Apulia as it is sometimes known, is a land of extraordinary colours and wonderful variety - an undulating plateau of rich, red earth, dark green pine-forested hillsides, silvery green olive trees and lush vineyards; sparkling white labyrinths of towns' historic centres, which seem to glisten in the sun; milky white mediaeval centres with their tangles of cobbled streets and alleyways; grey and natural hues of Baroque churches; dustings of pink on villa walls; and all against a backdrop of deep, deep blue Mediterranean sea and sky.
