Villas in Puglia in the Valle d'Itria

Set on a high fertile plain in the centre of Puglia, the Valle d'Itria incorporates wooded slopes, vineyards, endless olive groves punctuated by the coned roofs of trulli, a host of picture-perfect towns (Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo, and Polignano a Mare to name just a few), and a pair of coastlines - the Adriatic and the Ionian - to choose from. Each town has its own gastronomic speciality, so its also an unforgettable destination for food and wine lovers.
