Upon arrival, collect the keys for your pre-arranged car rental. Set out from the airport and drive to your luxury villa in Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, where you will spend the next seven nights.

Make yourself at home in your luxury villa estate.

Lounge under the pavilion overlooking the expansive manicured grounds and enjoy refreshing dips in the swimming pool before sitting down to a Mediterranean lunch al fresco.

What people are saying

OROKO created the honeymoon of our dreams in South Africa. The consultation process was very laid-back and conversational. The whole process overall was really quite quick and smooth. There was no trawling through the internet for hours late at night, weighing up costs and reviews of hotels and transfer companies etc – it was all done for us based on the OROKO travel experts’ experiences – which we found to be absolutely spot on. Choosing a ‘luxury travel’ company was a little daunting: We wanted a special honeymoon without spending silly money – and OROKO worked very well with this brief. Believe me when I say our accommodation could not have been more perfect for us. It really was the holiday of our dreams.
