Where Tradition and Luxury Dance Under the Olive Trees
Puglia, with its whitewashed villages, ancient olive groves, and sparkling Adriatic shores, offers a luxurious yet authentic escape. It’s Italy at its most soulful — and most delicious.
At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we craft bespoke journeys into this enchanting region, blending tradition, cuisine, culture, and just the right touch of indulgence.
Why Puglia Captivates
Bari’s Coastal Gateway
Stay at Palazzo Calò, a stylish boutique hideaway with panoramic rooftop views. Wander the winding alleys of Bari Vecchia, admire centuries-old basilicas, and savor handmade orecchiette at a family-run trattoria.
Insider Tip: Let us arrange a private street food tour — a delicious way to dive into Puglia’s vibrant culinary heritage.
Ostuni’s White City
Retreat to Masseria Cervarolo, a lovingly restored farmhouse where trulli-inspired suites and a shimmering pool invite you to slow down. Explore Ostuni’s gleaming white alleys, and sip bold Primitivo wines at nearby vineyards.
Insider Tip: Our private e-bike tours through ancient olive groves add a breezy dose of adventure to your stay.
Lecce’s Baroque Splendor
Discover Lecce, often called the “Florence of the South,” from your base at Palazzo Bozzi Corso, a historic residence reimagined for modern luxury. Private art tours reveal the city’s ornate churches and hidden courtyards, while local bakeries tempt with crisp cartellate pastries.
Insider Tip: Join one of our curated workshops to meet local artists and craft your own piece of Lecce’s vibrant spirit.
Polignano a Mare’s Seaside Drama
Perched dramatically above turquoise waters, Polignano a Mare feels like a dream. Stay at Grotta Palazzese, where dining in a cliffside cave restaurant is an unforgettable experience. Spend your days cruising to hidden coves by private boat, or — for the daring — cliff-dive with the locals.
Insider Tip: Our private coastal yoga sessions offer serene, soul-stirring moments between sea and sky.
