Located in the heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia (with its silent “g”) is a wonderful place.  It’s bordered by miles and miles of coastline with stunning beaches, whilst inland you can find picturesque hilltop towns, Baroque churches and rambling Roman ruins. 

The landscape is wild and rugged unlike the soft undulating terrain of Tuscany, but it’s got charm.  Fields of knarly ancient olive trees are interspersed with vineyards, the ground beneath a mass of scarlet poppies or grey, green cabbages depending on the season.
