WHAT TO SEE:

Ten minutes t the south is the beautiful nature reserve TORRE GUACETO by the sea. It offers an attractive escape from beach resorts as you find unspoiled beaches and no cars allowed here. The parking is at the visitor's centre, and there are organized nature walks, cycle trekking and snorkelling trips.

Ostuni, the "White City", is one of many historic small towns in this area. It has a population of 20.000 inhabitants, and you will find an excellent supply of stores, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars in the town. From the top, there is a fascinating view of the landscape and the sea. Ostuni has a well-known and beautiful main square.



The beach h use has the advantage of being not far from main areas of world interest such as the mile-long amazing caves of CASTELLANA; the archaeological excavations of the Roman EGNATIA by the Adriatic coastline; the Trulli houses of ALBEROBELLO - a UNESCO World Heritage site: the town of Carovigno, located on top of a hill; the medieval town of ORIA; the wealthy baroque town of MARTINA FRANCA; the petite and c arming CISTERNINO, the Zoo Safari Park of FASANO (lots of fun for children and adults alike); the caves of POLIGNANO A MARE, well known also for its tasty ice cr am; GROTTAGLIE famous for its ceramics and old stone carvings; and last but not least the famous baroque city of LECCE which is called the Florence of the South. Lecce can be reached in 50 minutes and has countless medical churches and a great richness of architecture. In town, there is also the famous Roman amphibian theatre used for music and drama performances in the open during the summer season. Lecce is a beautiful town for long walks, enjoying the fantastic atmosphere, bars, outside restaurants and great shops.



Further to the south, inland SALENTO has several charming historical villages with ancient history. In Sternatina and Martignano to the south of Lecce, antique Greek is still spoken by the villagers.

MAGLIE is like a mini Lecce and with many fine build ngs. MURO LECCESE is smaller and represents a small town/village with a fine architectural history. Cutrofiano is popular for French holiday home ownership. RUFFANO has many fine old buildings for sale, waiting to find new owners and to be restored. Surano has a small town centre with very nice antique buildings for sale. SPONGANO, again, is a small village surrounded by olive groves.

The east coast of Salento is rougher than the southwest and for people who enjoy the sea and fishing. Somewhat more elegant than the east coast. CASTRO is beautiful with its location on top of the cliff by the sea and many villas with direct access to the sea. SANTA CESAREA TERME is a spa resort, very popular with a beautiful setting and bay.

The cost from SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA to GALLIPOLI has many fine sandy beaches. The villages are perhaps not the prettiest but head for the beach life, pizzerias, restaurants and disco music in summertime.

SANTA CATARINA is also well-known for its many fine villas in the area, some antique.

The sea outside of PORTO CESAREO, further up the coast, is probably the most beautiful and fantastic sunset.



GETTING THERE:

By air, there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet, BA and others, both easily reached; Bari in the north by car on the motorway in approximately 70 minutes and nearby Brindisi in the south in about 20 minutes.



MORE TO SEE IN APULIA:

BARI, the commercial capital city with 250 000 inhabitants, offers the best shopping, a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli teatro, a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called GIOVINAZZO, a true gem, right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria and 20 minutes further is TRANI, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon bay & marina. Continue north to CASTEL DEL MONTE, the mystical castle Frederic II built in the 13th Century.

Within a 2,5 hour drive to the North of Bari lies GARGANO, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a significant nature and wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here, there are daily boat trips to the small TREMITI ISLANDS.



SPORTS:

As Apulia is a peninsula surrounded by two seas- the Adriatic in the north and the Ionic in the south - water sports dominate in the area; sailing, yachting, water skiing, kite-surfing, swimming & beach life. Golf is available with five good courses, and San Domenico is world-class (PGA 2014 Challenge Final). Tennis, horseback riding, hiking and bicycle tours are other options for the active-minded.



THE WEATHER:

Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than Northern Italy. Even in the "winter months" of December to February, the average number of sun hours per day is 4, and in June-August, 10-11 sun hours per day! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia.

The water temperature in the beginning of May is on average 17 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November.



WHY BUY IN APULIA?

Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Flo ence, Venice and the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia,, meaning value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia. In our opinion, investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand, also for northern Italians, as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. But rest assured, no new tourist villages will ever be built because the coastline is protected in Apulia and people are against modern developments that do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, prices are bound to rise with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties.



WHY BUY FROM CASA PUGLIA?

Firstly we are an English-speaking agency based in the middle of Apulia with local experience and can guide you to get the right property at the right price.

Secondly, we have personally inspected every property we recommend buying and do not list hundreds of properties but a smaller selection of properties that offer good value to the buyer. In Apulia, many properties are offered at unrealistic prices, but we say no to sellers who want us to list properties for sale at silly prices.

We have many years of international property experience, including 10 years in London, and we see investments in Apulia from a global perspective. We have been active in several EU property markets and specialize in property management to ensure well-maintained property for growth in property value.

We have a comprehensive range of local services:

- acting for the buyer - and not for the seller - by searching the market for the right property, negotiating the price and giving advice through the buying process leading to the completion of the purchase

- property management; we will prepare a maintenance plan for annual maintenance repairs of your property, which is essential to maintain and increase the property's value

- project management; we can act as your local representative and manage any development, renovation or refurbishment. W will also advise on value-added measures that could further enhance your property's capital growth.
