The guests shown in this video came from Sweden and Germany. Please enjoy watching them, as my Italian team and I enjoyed having them during my trip. The look on their faces and their gestures really tell the story of how much fun they had visiting Puglia. The laughter, jokes and fun are all still vivid in my mind. They were so delighted to have gone on my trip to Puglia.
Through the years, I have organized trips in various themes and interests, from wine tasting and cooking classes, to fashion, shopping for the latest home design and antiques, to plain fun free-spirit trips.

April is right around the corner. Plan on coming to Puglia with me and forget the world for a while!
I take people touring Puglia, because I was born there, know the history and customs of the area and know how to live as an Italian born in those parts.
You will get to know the real Italian life, I will take you to shop and eat in real Italian stores and restaurants, not to tourist traps.

Puglia is a region on the East side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, made of warm people, tasty food and free thinkers. You will see palm trees and a flat land with white terrace roofs. You might have the impression to have taken the wrong plane to Africa, but not at all, you will be in Puglia where homes are built on the foamy coastline of the blue-green Adriatic Sea and where the waves make embroideries with the sky, the air is salty, the summer heat is sultry and humid, women exude sexuality from every pores and well…the rest of the people are as laid back as in a tropical island.

During this trip we will be staying in an ancient remodeled farmhouse in the countryside of Puglia. With our private bus we will go sightseeing. Every day we will discover a new area, markets, shopping, museums and the most exquisite Baroque architecture, but we will not be on a timetable. This trip will not be a tour de force! We will have many activities at our leisure.
A couple of nights we might cook with a local chef, or we might prepare a dinner by ourselves in the farmhouse where we will stay. The countryside is beautiful, we might have a picnic, as you see it in the video.
I have planned many other activities only a local born in those parts can offer you, such as a ride in vintage cars along the promenade of the Adriatic Sea, taking in the salty aroma of the Sea that will open up a good appetite. At the end of the ride we will arrive at the restaurant ready to enjoy the amazing Puglia food.
