There’s a different feel to this part of Italy – a timeless, almost mystical presence that permeates every breath. Countless days of sunshine nourish a rich color palette of brilliant white limestone, red clay soil, and endless gnarled olive trees. This is the Valle d’Itria, an expanse of fertile land that encompasses some of Puglia’s most enchanting hilltop towns: Alberobello overflowing with whimsical trullis, Locorotondo with its renowned circular historic center, and Ostuni’s stunning array of whitewashed buildings rising above the cerulean Adriatic.
The Valle d’Itria is not only a feast for the eyes, however. Local dishes of grilled meat, hearty pastas, and crisp white wines are an irresistible part of the allure. Come along for a closer look at this enchanting part of Italy.
