Puglia (or Apulia) is the region also called the heel on the Italian boot and is located on the south eastern side of the country, it has coastlines on both the Adriatic and Ionian seas and therefore it offers some of the most beautiful and untouched beaches in the mediterranean. As well as offering breath-taking landscapes, Puglia has a very ancient history and the numerous Castles, Monuments, Baroque churches and Archeological sites represent a walk through the story of this land conquered by the Romans, Greek, Norman, Svebian and Angioin. Amongst rural architectures predominate the “Trulli” which looks like a house from fairy tales, historical news tell us that the trullo of Apulia, made of dry stone, was born in 15th century as a way not to pay real estate taxes, since it was considered a precarious construction.
The long hot summers, the amazing landscapes, the history, the high quality of its food & wine products and the welcoming spirit of its inhabitants are making Puglia one the most sought after destinations in Europe, not only for northern Italians but also for overseas buyers.
Puglia in fact still has very affordable properties prices since in the past was not considered a "trendy" destination, however this is changing thanks to the on-going development plans which are undertaken by the local government and the tow main airports, Bari and Brindisi, are making international travelling as easy as it can be.
The region is full activities to suit every one and one thing is guaranteed, you will never get bored in Puglia!
