The heel of Italy is a riot of colour, cuisine and exuberant architecture, and the star of Puglia’s show has to be Lecce. Packed with expressive and intricately decorative baroque architecture, it’s a real wow for the senses. Before you dash south for Brindisi and Salento, ramble from town to town by the cobalt seas of the east coast, stopping whenever a beach or a vineyard catches your eye to promenade along palm-lined seafronts and sip superb wines. Visit the coastal university town Bari, Puglia’s buzzy capital, for vibrant nightlife, a grand opera house and a maze-like old town. Stay in traditional trulli, airy palazzo and charm-filled masseria, in this collection of special places to stay that are as spirited as the region.
