Discover the soul of southern Puglia on a 6-day journey through Salento, a region where coastal beauty, ancient traditions, and relaxed Mediterranean living meet. Based at a beautiful masseria just outside Maglie, complete with a pool, spa, and in-house activities, each day invites you to explore a different slice of this sun-soaked land. You’ll take part in a cartapesta workshop in Lecce, ride through hidden villages of the Grecìa Salentina, and dive into quiet coves and sandy bays.

One of the highlights? A boat excursion along the Ionian coast, where you’ll fish at sunset and enjoy a meal prepared with your catch, the perfect blend of adventure and local flavor. Each evening, return to your countryside retreat to unwind and savor the rhythms of Puglia.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing an authentic and one-of-a-kind experience. In the splendid setting of the Apulian countryside, we will take you back in time to discover nature and local traditions.

Here every blade of grass seems to contain an entire library dedicated to marvel, silence and goodness and we will do our best to amaze you throughout your stay.
