Experiences

Welcome to the South
Salento land of enchantment

You will discover a land full of culture, this ancient territory through guided tours with dedicated professionals who will take you through the customs and history of the ancient ‘Messapi’, the splendour of the Ancient Villages, the art of beautiful cities such as Lecce, Gallipoli and Otranto. Your guide will take you on a tour of the wonderful Baroque city of Lecce, followed by a wine and oil tasting in a masseria with a traditional snack.

But you cannot come to Salento without diving into the beautiful sea and enjoying the beautiful beaches. For this, we have planned a boat trip to Santa Maria di Leuca, a half-day excursion that includes an environmental, historical and cultural tour through the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca.

 

Trulli and Valle D’Itria
Locorotondo, Cisternino and Alberobello

Your road tour continues with wonderful stops.

Before visiting the most famous Alberobello we recommend Locorotondo and Cisternino, on the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

In the Locorotondo countryside there is a wine cellar where you can visit and taste wines. This winery has original trulli dating back to the 1700s that you can see during the tour.

Dalla Basilicata alla Campania
Travelling charm

You will visit Matera, which stands on a limestone plateau and has a spectacular anomaly: a central furrow, a real canyon of 70-80 metres, crossed by the Gravina torrent.

The territory of Matera has been inhabited continuously since the Palaeolithic period. As for the Sassi districts, they came into being towards the end of the 15th century. The alternation of populations over time has left a complex urban system in which buildings overlap natural cavities. Today, it is possible to see the original core of the Sassi and the houses carved directly into the rock and tuff, experiencing a unique sensation: that of being in a nativity scene.

The incredible landscape of Matera has been the backdrop for many films, famous and not, Italian and foreign, including Mel Gibson’s colossal ‘The Passion’

Culinary Art
Flavours and Traditions

You cannot visit Campania without tasting one of the world’s best-loved delicacies: buffalo mozzarella. And why not also discover the production process while savouring this tradition? You will immerse yourself in the history of a typical farm and also taste the oil. An interesting and tasty day that you will hardly forget. You will also take part in a cooking lesson on pizza.

Amalfi Coast
Amazing nature

Your car will take you to discover the famous Amalfi Coast admiring villages, colours and incredible views.

You will enjoy a full-day excursion departing from Sorrento, discovering Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, the most beautiful villages in southern Italy. An excursion by car along the Amalfi Coast is the perfect choice if you want to savour the authentic atmosphere of southern Italy and its beautiful coastal landscapes.

From Pompei to Rome
One last taste of art

Your road tour continues to Rome but not without a stop in Pompeii. Here you will immerse yourself and your guide in the history of this fascinating and interesting place. You will be taken along the ancient streets to observe the daily life of a Roman city and its ancient ruins before it was destroyed by volcanic ash from the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
You will be amazed by this place.

Next, the last stop on this fascinating journey: Rome. You will stroll among the piazzas and fountains of the Eternal City and eat in a restaurant serving typical Roman cuisine.
