We were on a trip in the South of Italy and were looking for a Masseria into which get to know more about the story of Puglia and the goods linked to it.. After looking a bit we found L'Astore, the road to go there is great, but the place is marvellous, classic italian farm, it seemed like a moment out of time. Claudia is a wonderful and passionate person that took us through the making of Olive Oil and Wine, the tasting was gorgeous, the products, out of this world! They can deliver any wine you might wanna buy to your home at a really fair price Now that I think of it, I need to order them another dozen bottles Could not recommend this place enough, next time we're going to Puglia, we'll be staying there

Not easy to find but worth the effort. This garden is very personal, reflecting the owners love of exotic cacti and succulents. The glass houses have a fascinating collection of massive plants from dessert areas of the world. The rest of the garden is a pleasure to walk around- don't miss the secret garden with its collection of birds and small animals, but best of all a sunken shaded area that houses ferns and carnivorous flowers, really beautiful. The restaurant and bar provide welcome refreshments after a delightful wander in the woodland.

If you are this deep in the south, you already are immersed in the magnificent coastline and communities that shape and dot the landscape. When i say deep, i mean on the Salento Peninsula, the heel of the Italian boot, where this shelving limestone cove is dominated by a 16th-Century watchtower at the end of Puglia’s finest beaches. Its name means “ wild harbour”, so while the femme and i were doing excursions around the feral rock-strewn bay, serenaded by the rustling wind in the umbrella pines. We paused frequently for a plung into the cold water and to chew on delectable we brought with us for a bite. The bay’s rocky platforms are perfect to launch yourself into the briny.
