in the two most characteristic and fascinating regions of southern Italy…
- PUGLIA, synonymous with magnificent white cities such as Ostuni or Locorotondo, which contrast with the blue of the sea almost always present, of the picturesque ‘trulli’ – conical houses that are unique in the world, and declared World Heritage Sites by Unesco – and of the highest quality olive oil, the ‘gold’ of Puglia…
- SICILY, the island of sun and fragrant citrus fruit blossom buds, homeland of the majestic volcano Etna and of various wonderful nature parks, of the renowned town of Taormina – “Pearl of the Ionian Sea” and of fantastic temples and archaeological sites, among which Agrigento and Syracuse stand out, powerful cities in the era of Magna Graecia…
The old houses breathe the unique and unmistakable atmosphere of the SOUTH, its colours, sounds, fragrances, flavours and emotions…
…and the closeness of the SEA – almost 3,000 km of wonderful coastline embrace Puglia and Sicily: rugged shorelines, cliff and ‘faraglioni’ rock formations alternating with little bays or long beaches with white sand…
Enjoy ART, CULTURE and the GOOD FOOD: culinary delights such as the various fish specialties, renowned wines, famous confectionery and pastries – from the Sicilian ‘cassata’ to the ‘taralli’ biscuits of Puglia…
