About this experience
Whether it is the infinite blue of the sea, the morning vitality of the city squares or the open gaze of the people you will meet, the enchantment of the Itria Valley manifests itself before your eyes at every bend in the road and at every stop along the way. From the window of a vintage Fiat 500 it is even more fascinating to recognize and photograph the essence of the truest Puglia.
The itineraries, which we organize with care in every single detail, include food and wine stops that offer an immersive experience in the heart of Puglia: farms, picnics, tastings, history and landscapes will be the most precious memories of this enchanted land. Each tour winds along the landscapes and towns of the Itria Valley, in two daily time slots, starting from the suggestive location of the Pistola Gardens and returning there at the end of the chosen tour.

Detailed itinerary
1
On the hills overlooking the Costa dei Trulli you will be struck by the bright white of the walls of San Michele in Frangesto, a 12th century church. Ready to take the first pictures?
2
The second photo stop is in a typical Apulian farmhouse. The delicate rustle of olive branches and the melodious chirping of cicadas fill the air, are the soundtrack for an effect video.
3
On the way to the next stop, you will pass by a very particular house (visits are not allowed), built in Islamic style, framed by arches, columns and a minaret that looks like something out of an Arab fairy tale. An image full of beauty and mystery
4
The third photo stop is a tiny old village, where every house is a trullo and you can chat with the locals before reaching the last photo stop of the tour: the 17th century church of San Marco, whose white facade dominates the square.
5
On your return to the Giardini Pistola don’t miss the opportunity to take a last special photo of the lush nature of the award-winning gardens.
