Puglia lies in southeastern Italy, surrounded by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west.
In the southeastern extremity of Puglia lies the peninsula known as Salento, often considered to be a rock of limestone dividing the Adriatic Sea from the Ionian Sea, and the “heel” of Italy’s “boot.”
This beautiful region is blessed with remarkable landscapes of palm trees and cactus plants, sunshine, blue skies and a dream-like coastline on crystal-clear waters.
Vineyards and olive groves have always played an important part in this beautiful and fertile land, where the harsh sun is tempered by the cooling sea breezes.
