Transport
A private minibus is used for the airport transfers. We use a mix of private and public transport (train and bus) during the week.
Accommodation
Stay in three unique destinations: the trulli town of Alberobello, the white city of Ostuni and the cave town of Matera. Below are the hotels typically used on this trip. Alberobello: Hotel Ramapendula or Hotel Silva (nights 1-2) We start either in Hotel Ramapendula (above) or Hotel Silva. The former has an outdoor swimming pool, Apulian restaurant and a location close to the UNESCO-listed centre of Alberobello. The latter is also a short walk from the centre, with individually themed rooms and a bar. Ostuni: Masseria Morrone or Hotel La Terra (nights 3-4) Our second accommodation is either Masseria Morrone or Hotel La Terra (above). The first is a 18th-century farmhouse outside Ostuni. Now run by the Laera family, it has a pool in the garden and rustic rooms. The second is set within a 13th-century building in the historic quarter of Ostuni. Along with an ideal location, it has a bar serving Apulian aperitifs and wine. Matera: Hotel Sassi or Fra I Sassi Residence (nights 5-7) Our final nights are spent in either Hotel Sassi (above) or Fra I Sassi Residence. Opened in 1996, Hotel Sassi took over a series of dwellings, some of which date to the 1500s. Thereโs an Italian spread for breakfast (most of the produce locally sourced) and wonderful views of Matera from the terrace. The 15-room Fra I Sassi offers similarly spectacular views plus rooms built from the caves themselves.

This area is a paradise for food lovers and the abundance of delicious vegetables also makes it a great destination for vegetarians.
