Around The Web

Exploring the Sassi of Matera

Set out on a guided tour through the historic Sassi of Matera. Explore ancient cave dwellings, rock churches, and hidden hypogea. Uncover the rich history and culture of this UNESCO World Heritage site

Sail Through Polignano’s Beauty

The most suggestive way to explore Polignano a Mare is from a different point of view: that of the water. Those who come to visit "the pearl of the Adriatic" perched on the coast, a unique town in the world built on a cliff dotted with caves, cannot fail to choose the perspective that only a boat ride can offer

Grotta Palazzese

Located in the historical centre of Polignano a Mare, the Grotta Palazzese Hotel, situated on a scenic cliff overlooking the sea, rests on the famous Grotta Palazzese, a cave that hosts the homonymous restaurant considered among the 10 most exclusive outdoor restaurants in the world

The White City

Ostuni, known as the "White City", is a jewel of Puglia that enchants visitors with its characteristic whitewashed historic centre, a maze of narrow streets reminiscent of an Arab casbah. This ancient city, kissed by the sun and enveloped in Mediterranean light, offers a unique combination of history, traditions, excellent gastronomy and splendid beaches

The City of the Two Seas

Taranto is located on the beautiful Ionian Sea in Puglia and is known as “the city of the two seas”. This unique city is surrounded by the bays of Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo, creating a stunning natural setting amongst its historical sites. With a history shaped by its strategic Mediterranean location, Taranto offers a wealth of sights and experiences for travellers

Why Italy Feels Like Love Itself

There is a reason why Italy has been the setting for countless love stories, from ancient poetry to modern-day films. Romance lingers in every corner, woven into the scenery, history, culture, and people. The landscapes alone inspire passion -whether it’s the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast, or the dreamy canals of Venice. Every city and village carries a story of love, etched into grand piazzas, whispering through medieval alleyways, and reflected in the glow of golden sunsets. Italy’s rich history adds to its allure, with tales of legendary lovers, Renaissance art that celebrates beauty, and timeless architecture that sets the stage for romance
