Details zu diesem Trip
Experience Puglia like a local, without rushing, with good food, genuine encounters, and time for yourself. Imagine wandering through the sun-soaked streets of Lecce, golden Baroque buildings glowing in the evening light. You hear the laughter of locals sharing stories at a piazzetta, while the aroma of freshly baked focaccia and simmering sauces fills the air. Here in Apulia, every day is a full sensory experience: knead pasta in a cooking class, toast with new friends over a sunset aperitivo, and explore artisans workshops where centuries-old traditions come alive. This isnโ€™t a checklist of sights โ€” this is Italy, lived slowly and authentically. This trip is designed for travelers who want more than a holiday: for those who want to slow down, connect, and experience Puglia from the inside. No stress. No sightseeing marathon. The group is deliberately limited to a maximum of 8 places. Slow travel only works in small groups. ๐Ÿ“Œ Trip Highlights (included): Authentic accommondation& breakfast, hands on cooking class, local markets, food spots& artisan shops exploration, local guide& support from TripLeader, transport, small exclusive group This is not a packed itinerary, itโ€™s a shared experience with a small group (max. 8 people) and leisurely pace. April is the perfect time to be here: ๐ŸŒฟ blooming landscapes โ˜€๏ธ warm but not hot days ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ quiet towns before summer crowds ๐Ÿท life happening outdoors again

Ciao, I'm Marie ๐Ÿค I live in Puglia (originally am from Austria) and know the the best local spots and hidden gems. What began as a love for Italy has now become my real everyday life between culture, language and people. I don't organize trips as classic โ€œtours,โ€ but as shared experiences: authentic, personal, and close to real life in Italy. In Puglia, I'm not interested in ticking off sights, but in: genuine encounters, local places, good food, conversation, and time to settle in the feeling of really being here even if just for a few days. I take care of organization and structure, but leave enough room for spontaneous moments. If you have any questions, please contact me directly, look forward to hearing from you!

๐Ÿก Weโ€™ll stay in a carefully selected local accommodation in Puglia, such as: a traditional apartment or guesthouse located in or near a charming town with shared rooms (small group setup). Comfortable, clean, and authentic: a place where mornings start slowly and evenings feel like home. Single bedrooms upon request and extra fee. (Exact accommodation details will be shared with confirmed participants.)
