Puglia Towns And Cities
The towns and cities of Puglia, most of them small, are a distinctive feature of the region's attraction. Through its urban fabric, you can experience Puglia's long cultural and architectural heritage - although it is the intimate and informal "feel", narrow streets surrounding the main squares, small bars and restaurants, surprise views - which people mainly remember. We encourage people to get off the beaten track and see some of the less well known places, to discover some unexpected delights of Puglia.

In this part of the website, we provide specific tourist attractions and sites of interest throughout Puglia which are outside the twons and cities. It is impossible to be comprehensive, so we have included a variety of places, hopefully something to suit all tastes, ages and interest - caverns and grottoes, adventure parks, nature reserves, archaeological sites.

Puglia – the “heel” of Italy
Puglia (or Apulia) is the 'heel' of the boot of Italy. Stretching over 400km from Lecce and the Salento in the south, all the way to Foggia and the Gargano in the north.
Over the centuries Puglia has been ruled by Mycenaean Greeks, Romans, Normans, Hohenstaufen, Turks, Venetians, French and finally becoming part of the Kingdom of Italy - Puglia is a melting pot of cultures and peoples.
The home of the conical shaped 'trulli', Puglia also boasts impressive baroque styled cities, dramatic Norman architecture, African and Greek inspired historical centres, and a vast array of beaches along the endless Adriatic and Ionian coastlines.
Puglia is Italy's market garden, producing much of the fresh produce distributed around the country and further afield from vast expanses of olive trees and vineyards. Combined with the frutti di mare taken from the many fishing villages, this has resulted in food being one of, if not the, most important aspect of any Pugliesi's life!

The Trullo Annunziato was a magical escape from the big city life for us. The property and the building was even better than we expected. And Ed is an amazing host. Whenever we needed anything, he was there to offer support. We recommend this Trullo to everyone who is seeking a peaceful stay in a beautiful scenery in the wonderful Puglia region. Thank you, Ed, for creating this heavenly place on earth.Kiril S, Hamburg,
We well and truly fell on our feet, booked last minute and how pleased were we. Recently renovated, with lovely outdoor seating area & infinity pool. Plenty of space for a couple or young family and equipped with pretty much everything you require. Was a lovely place to come back to after a day of sightseeing.Ros/Darren, Leicestershire, UK
Trullo Annunziata truly met all our expectations. The original building has been faithfully restored which gives you a feeling of history whilst offering you luxury accommodation with everything you need for the perfect stay. The swimming pool is a real treat, the perfect temperature and very welcome when returning after a day's sightseeing. This really was one of the best holiday lets we've taken and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.Marianne/Anthony, Surrey UK
We had such a good stay at Trullo Annunziata, it was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the late summer sun. The Trullo had everything we needed, the kitchen was well stocked and it's always nice to have the basics to start off with - olive olive, balsamic etc and the wine and prosecco was appreciated too. The pool and gardens were lovely, and the location made it really easy to drive into Ostuni whilst still feeling remote and peaceful. Thank you for a great stay.Anne/Murray, Scotland
Lovely property and hosts. Totally tranquil, relaxing and charming with fully modern amenities. Would absolutely stay again!Eric O, Washington USA
Having read so many positive reviews, it's difficult to find anything original to say other than echo all the positive comments made previously. The trullo is indeed immaculate and well-appointed with nothing lacking at all (which is important for us as we enjoy cooking) - the icing on the cake being the private pool, of which we made great use. Although we enjoyed total privacy throughout our magical three week stay, hosts were always there when we needed them with lots of useful advice, such as telling us about the fabulous medieval pageant in Oria at the end of our first week. Nights spent on the spacious terrace enjoying dinner, watching the coloured lights of the pool changing, sipping on a Primitivo di Manduria (or a Nastro Azzurro), will live long in our memories. We cannot pay a higher compliment to Trullo Annunziata, than to say that having sworn never, ever to re-visit a holiday destination, we're seriously contemplating booking for next year - if not before! One of the best holidays we have ever had.John D, Scotland
