Once-in-a-lifetime trip! Manuela did an amazing job scheduling the right activities for us but most importantly, she took my request for incredible hotels in our price range seriously. I could not have asked for better hotels than Masseria Petranima and Tenuta Monacelli. They were so different but both beautiful, peaceful, relaxing with amazing staff. We felt very well cared for everywhere we went. Gorgeous, secluded locations. We also really enjoyed our cooking class with
LE CUCCHIARE - Alessandra was so welcoming and spent a good part of her day with us and it was so personal. We also loved seeing her small town with her. The boat tour day was also a highlight! Our boat captain was friendly and did a great job navigating some choppy waves.

We had an amazing time and reccommend this itinerary to anyone looking for a trip that is equal parts adventure and relaxation!

Hotel Review
Masseria Petranima
Ostuni

Incredibly peaceful. The trulli are so unique and fun to stay in. The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful. It's off the beaten path so be prepared for some bumpy driving - but it's really worth it!
