Puglia is attracting the attention of some well-known faces and TV chefs. Some looking for a peaceful holiday and others with a TV crew in tow. They come in search of the real unspoilt Italy, authentic and laid back. Where the food, culture, architecture and warm welcome, make you feel immediately at home.
When you own a holiday home in Puglia, you can escape to your own feel-good space surrounded by trees, sea and sunshine. Where else can you find countryside villas, townhouses and apartments, a short distance from the sea, at such great prices?
The Itria Valley is one of the most popular areas in Puglia for house buyers and tourists alike. Once you see the countryside with its gently rolling hills, red soil, dry stone walls, olive groves and vineyards, dotted with the coned-shaped trulli and masserie, you’ll be tempted to buy a property in the Itria Valley too.
If you are looking for a sunny piece of Italy that is affordable, easy to get to, and offers a healthy Mediterranean lifestyle, then the region of Puglia is a superb choice.
Many people when asked why they are moving to Italy answer: “To get away from the British weather”. Good choice, after all it never snows in Puglia…does it? If you have only holidayed in Italy during the summer you may be under the impression it is always sunny. In fact, we do have some days of extreme weather and winters can be cold and wet, particularly in the north. But yes, summers are longer and hotter than in the UK, and in the south we would consider winter to be just February and March, with November being the rainy month.
