Question Unique Stays and Experiences in Puglia

[Hazardous Maze o]

We've booked our tickets for a May trip to Puglia and now need to figure out a great itinerary. We'll be flying into Brindisi on April 30th and flying back to Milan from Bari on May 17th, connecting with our flight back to the States the next day. With 14 nights in Puglia, plus 3 nights in Matera, we’re eager to explore exceptional yet reasonably priced accommodations. Any recommendations for unique places to stay or special experiences we shouldn't miss? Looking for tips on both hotels and activities!

Puglia is such a fantastic choice! For unique stays, consider a trullo in Alberobello for that iconic experience. You might also look into masserie—traditional farmhouses often converted into charming hotels. For activities, don’t miss the stunning beaches of Polignano a Mare and the beautiful coastal towns like Monopoli. Exploring the historic center of Lecce and tasting local wines in Salento can be highlights too. Have you thought about trying a cooking class to really dive into the local cuisine?
