FAQs about Puglia Luxury Holidays
-
The ideal time to visit Puglia is during the shoulder seasons of May-June and September-October, when temperatures are pleasant and crowds are fewer. July and August bring peak summer heat and Italian vacationers, while winter (November-March) sees many seasonal businesses closed, though it offers a peaceful atmosphere with mild temperatures.

We recommend a minimum of 7 days to truly experience Puglia. This allows time to explore different areas, including the Itria Valley with its trulli houses, the baroque splendour of Lecce, and the stunning beaches of the Salento Peninsula.
We also recommend a 10-14 day stay paired with another destination, like the Amalfi Coast, for a culturally-rich itinerary of southern Italy.
