Its a family atmosphere into the typical salentos farm,wich youll taste the experience of salento(wine food and places)
- Highlights of Puglia
I thought it was very varied and interesting, from castles to making mozzarella, and churches to bakeries. I very much enjoyed the coastal walk to the bauxite quarry which some previous reviewers had criticised. The restaurants organised for the group meals were also v good and varied, which was great at the current time of the virus.
