Introduction

Puglia captures the hearts of all who visit. The southeastern “heel” of Italy, its ancient landscape is a treasure trove of culture, history and memorable experiences. This suggested family holiday is perfectly suited to those in search of combining cultural exploration with unlimited beachside relaxation. Tailored for families, we’ve arranged a stay at one of our partner beach resorts in Fasano, where you’ll set out on numerous explorations alongside your guide. From family bread making to underground cave explorations, there’s plenty to keep the little ones occupied as they take a break from splashing about in the pool and building sandcastles on the private beach.
