Puglia & Matera Holidays

Puglia holidays offer varied history, stunning landscapes and delicious cuisine.

Tucked away in southern Italy, this enchanting region is bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and boasts 800km of rugged coastline.

Moving inland, golden beaches transform into towering forests, rolling hills and endless olive groves. Traces of Puglia’s eclectic past are scattered across the region, from Frederick II’s decorative Castel del Monte and the delightful trulli houses of Alberobello to Lecce’s distinctive baroque architecture. This makes Puglia a great choice for those seeking an idyllic beach break paired with marvellous history and culture.

Nearby, venture across the Puglia border to Matera – a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with magical alleyways, courtyards and viewpoints. Get lost down charming streets in Italy’s city of stone, visiting incredible 9000-year-old cave houses and cave churches that reflect the historical way of life in the area.
