The first thing to do in Puglia, straight away, when leaving the airport is to head to your private luxury villa. A home away from home, where the kids can run wild, splash about in the private pool without disturbing other guests. Everyone gets their own bedroom and the family can come together in the lounge and kitchen area for a big family meal cooked by your private chef. It’s the perfect central hub while staying in Puglia. Go out and visit all the great spots, the on site villa manager will be happy to help hire a car for you. Then return to your clean and modern villa for an outfit change or a cosy night in. The options are unlimited. The only thing you have to do is enjoy your Puglia villa.

Torre Guaceto
A picnic at the untouched and undeveloped sands of Torre Guaceto is something that should be on everyone’s bucket list. This place is a special beauty not seen in the world much anymore. This unspoiled beach is no ordinary beach. A protected nature reserve means no high rise buildings, developed hotels or beach side restaurants. No resorts or condominiums either. Just the local plant and animal species are invited to make this their home. The turtles that live here are really a sight to see as they make their way down the beach. A snorkelling adventure is highly recommended when visiting.

Jonian Dolphin Conservation
The Jonian Dolphin Conservation Centre has won many awards for marine research. Here the team powers up their catamaran and patrols the waters around Puglia to observe and protect the mammals that live in the Ionian Sea. Spend a day aboard the 12-metre-long Lady-Hawke boat and join the crew as they identify different dolphins and fish and gather environmental data from the ocean. Nature can tell us so much if we listen.

Pescoluse Beach
There are many beaches on this side of Italy however Pescoluse is one of the best beaches for families in Puglia. This region is often called the Maldives of Italy. Enjoy the soft white sands and smooth cool waves. The waters here are clear and shallow for the little ones so no need to worry parents. Most visitors are still cheerfully Italian as tourism hasn’t quite taken over this part of the coast yet.
