La nostra casa
Your home for the week: a trulli villa with an infinity pool
Trulli are the dry-stone houses with cone-shaped roofs found only here, in Puglia's Itria Valley. Thick walls, whitewashed rooms under the domes, and they stay cool even in July.
Ours sits on a hill among ancient olive trees, with an infinity pool that looks out over the valley. Start the day with a swim before breakfast. Come back from each outing to a cold drink by the water. End every evening at the long table outside, with Fabio cooking and the cicadas singing. For one week, this is home.
- Infinity pool over the olive groves
- Cone-roofed trulli rooms
- Shaded terraces for long dinners
- Fabio's kitchen, open all week
Un giorno con Fabio
A day with Fabio
L'avventura
One outing a day with Fabio: a town, a market, a beach or a winery. Free afternoons are built in.
A tavola
Back at the long table. Fabio cooks, the wine is poured, and strangers become family.
Giorno per giorno
Day by day
Seven nights in our trulli villa near Ostuni. One outing a day, afternoons by the pool, and Fabio at the stove every evening.
- Day1
Sat, Jul 10
Benvenuti nella Valle d'Itria
Fabio meets you at Bari airport and drives you into the Itria Valley, to the trulli villa that will be home all week. Find your room under the stone dome, then take your first swim in the infinity pool as the sun drops over the olive groves.
At the table: Welcome dinner cooked by Fabio, with wine pairings
- Day2
Sun, Jul 11
Ostuni, the White City
Ride through Ostuni's whitewashed lanes in an Ape Calessino, step into the cathedral with its great rose window, and browse the hand-made ceramics in the little shops of the old town. Lunch at an osteria tucked under the old arches, then back to the pool for the afternoon.
At the table: Lunch in Ostuni's old town
- Day3
Mon, Jul 12
Matera, the city of stone
Our big day out. Matera's Sassi are cave homes and rock churches carved into a ravine and lived in for thousands of years, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander the stairways and courtyards with Fabio, stop for coffee on a terrace above the old town, and come home in time for a swim.
At the table: Lunch in Matera
- Day4
Tue, Jul 13
Orecchiette and a lazy afternoon
Roll up your sleeves in the villa kitchen: Fabio teaches you to shape orecchiette by hand and cook a few Pugliese classics to take home. Lunch is whatever we make together. The afternoon belongs to the pool.
At the table: Lunch is the pasta you made
- Day5
Wed, Jul 14
Martina Franca and Alberobello
Morning in Martina Franca, an elegant baroque town of white palazzi and wrought-iron balconies, home of the famous capocollo. Then a few minutes down the road to Alberobello, a whole town of trulli and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
At the table: Dinner at a fornello pronto: pick your meat at the butcher's counter and it comes straight from the wood oven
- Day6
Thu, Jul 15
Bari and Polignano a Mare
Into Bari Vecchia, the old town: the Basilica of San Nicola, little street shrines, the nonne making orecchiette on their doorsteps and warm focaccia barese straight from the bakery. In the afternoon, the white cliffs of Polignano a Mare above turquoise water.
At the table: Street food in Bari, aperitivo in Polignano
- Day7
Fri, Jul 16
The sea and the vines
A morning swim in the Adriatic, then a long seafood lunch by the harbor in Monopoli: oysters, red prawns, sea urchins. At sunset we walk the vines with a local winemaker and taste his wines among the rows.
At the table: Farewell dinner at the vineyard
- Day8
Sat, Jul 17
Arrivederci
One last swim and a slow breakfast by the pool, then Fabio drives you to Bari airport. You came as guests and leave as family.
Summer is sagra season, so if a village food festival is on during our week, we'll go. The order of days may shift with the weather and local festivals. Fabio will send the final plan before you travel.
