We landed at Brindisi airport Friday evening with Ryanair FR1462 and got our rental car quite fast. A white FIAT 500L with an engine just a little bit bigger than a lawn mower! This holiday trip had been planned for approximately 6 months with all places to be seen and the bookings of hotels and scanning the web for nice places. It was by doing this I came across ThePuglia and Fabio's service of renting [...]

Over the next few months I plan to tell you all about my city, Lecce. The must-see city when you come to the Salento region on holiday. The compact historic centre of Lecce is a narrow maze of alleyways, full of stunning Baroque architecture, but it has so much more to offer. Whilst walking around the old town you will discover one of the most beautiful squares in the whole of Italy: Piazza del Duomo. [...]

You should choose the former if you prefer to visit the northern area of Puglia, the latter if you rather want to visit the southern one (the [...]

Puglia is very well known in Italy, but when I happen to talk with you foreign people, I realize that it is not the same in the rest of the world. When speaking of Italy, you probably think of Rome, Florence and Venice at first. This is absolutely normal, since me too would visit those unique and wonderful cities of art when first going to Italy. But if you like the sea and the beautiful [...]
