Luxury Puglia, Italy: the insider’s guide to planning a trip that feels like a secret
Olive trees over 3,000 years old. Pasta made with a real nonna in Bari Vecchia. Dinner with a Puglian family in a masseria. And the birthplace of focaccia, mozzarella, and burrata — not the restaurant version, the actual source. This is how to plan Puglia right.

The heel of Italy’s boot. The place where the light falls differently, where the olive trees are so ancient they feel like witnesses to history — some over 3,000 years old, and standing next to them stops you mid-sentence. Where you eat the best burrata of your life in a little square and can’t quite believe this all exists.
