The Local Trip is my take on Puglia—an invitation to go beyond the usual paths and transform you into a true explorer. Here, every itinerary is an immersive experience designed to make you the star of your own discovery.
Each journey is a thematic deep dive, a focused look at a unique aspect of my homeland. I give you the key to unlock the traditions that have shaped its soul, the attitudes that define its character, and the themes that bring its people to life.
This isn't just a trip to Puglia. It's a different way to live it, feel it, and know it, with the curiosity and awareness of someone who calls it home.
LIFE IN A MASSERIA
A 13-day journey through Puglia and Basilicata, dedicated to truly experiencing rural life among the region’s iconic masserie—historic farmhouses that are the beating heart of local tradition and culture. The highlight of this itinerary is that each night is spent in a different masseria, carefully chosen for its unique atmosphere and character: from storied estates to organic farms, from cheesemaking havens to properties devoted to environmental stewardship and biodiversity. Every stage is a unique opportunity to live and breathe the vibrant rhythm of the countryside: savor genuine breakfasts, join artisan workshops, and unwind surrounded by nature. This is much more than a tour; it’s a journey that fuses history, culture, and heartfelt hospitality, perfect for curious travelers seeking to reconnect with the roots of Southern Italy. Sleep in a different masseria each night, each with its own soul, history, and style—for those seeking an authentic adventure beyond the ordinary.
