This is food paradise, with seasonal local produce always on tap at the many local food markets or at dozens of amazing restaurants. The local wines, typically from the primitivo and negroamaro grapes, are delicious and plentiful.

A day trip to one of many local vineyards is always a treat, as is a trip to one of the stunning towns within easy reach. Ostuni, the White City, Martina Franca and Cisternino are all within 15 minutes, with Lecce (The Florence of the South) and Matera (famous from No Time to Die) around 90 minutes by car.

There are beaches within 20 minutes of the house.
