Away from the well-trodden streets of Sicily, Rome, or the Amalfi Coast, the buzz surrounding Italy’s southern region, Puglia, has been steadily increasing. With its rows upon rows of olive groves, delightful jumble of whitewashed towns and villages, and traditional trulli homes, it’s easy to see why. The region’s smattering of homestays offer a slice of southern Italian culture unmatched by the area’s best hotels—think tucking up at night inside a cave house after a dip in the underground hot tub, or padding up the spiral staircase in a former astronomy observatory tower to admire the views. Below are the best Airbnbs in Puglia to book now.
