TAKE A LOOK AT OUR FAMILY-FRIENDLY ACCOMMODATIONS:

Apulia, just like Sicily, is the land of oil and wine.
   
With more than 80.000 hectares and a production of about 7 million hectoliters: Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negramaro, Bianco di Locorotondo and Verdeca are Apulia’s most iconic wines.
400.000 hectares of cultivated land are devoted to olive groves with a production of 150.000 tons: Coratina, Ogliarola, Perenzana and Cellina are the olive varieties of the most famous apulian extra virgin olive oils.
   
Our suggestions include a careful selection of properties, often with own winery and/or oil mill.
