Villa Anna – Villa for rent near the best beach of Puglia

May 15th, 2012 fabio nessun commento

As you may known, my real estate agency is just on the beach of Porto Cesareo in Puglia. Here we manage several villas and holiday homes for rent. The last entry in our portfolio of villas for rent for the summer period is Villa Anna (ID: PP02), a villa located in a holiday village close to the sea and some of my favourite bathing resorts like Bonavista, Togo Bay, Teranga and Samanà: kilometers of sandy beaches like the one of Torre Lapillo (photos of Torre Lapillo beach). Villa Anna is exactly in the zone between Torre Castiglione and Riva degli Angeli, find these locations on Google Map to have more information. It is a recently built quality villa with refined and new interiors. You have the possibility to rent the entire villa which is ok for 8 people or parts of it. In fact, Villa Anna is built in three levels:  ground floor, first floor and tavernetta: each of them can be considered like a single apartment or a simple camera with bathroom. Following are my pictures and my description. Read more

The best beaches of Salento (Puglia): Torre Lapillo Bay and Punta Prosciutto

April 30th, 2012 fabio nessun commento

I have never written about the beaches where I live in Puglia. Some of the best beaches are just in my area: Salento peninsula. I think it’s time for me to write about them and to tell some of their secrets giving my tips on when to go, where to stay and what to see too. I mean, the beaches I think are the best beaches in Salento: Torre Lapillo Bay and Punta Prosciutto beach, in the small seaside resort of Porto Cesareo. First, I will write about the area in general, then I will go into detail of these white sandy beaches surrounded by a crystalline sea. I have added a great photo gallery to my article I think can give a perfect idea of what I am talking about. Read more

Buying a masseria: the new country property trend in Italy

April 1st, 2012 fabio 1 commento

It is always very very very nice to read about how foreigners see my country: Puglia, Southern Italy. I think we are about to witness an emerging trend: Puglia starts to be known for its masserie and not only for its trullos. The last confirmation is a great article published on Financial Times: “Forget seaside villas – this summer the cognescenti are renting ‘masserie’, or fortified farmhouses, in the southern Italian region of Salento”. Yes, just Salento, just where I was born and where actually live. Read more

This short guide of six not-so-common things to do in Puglia is written by Melvin Lardenoye. I met him during a quick wineries tour in the Salice Salentino DOC wine area in southern Puglia: Salento. Let’s start.

I live in Puglia. Actually not quite. My life currently spins between two countries, The Netherlands (70%) and Italy (30%), where I spend most of the summer. Puglia, to be more exact San Vito Dei Normanni, is where my italian home base is. My wife (who originates from San Vito) and I run B&B Perla di Puglia. We enjoy this lovely region to the fullest: the climate, the food, the people, combined with its history and culture. Puglia is the perfect place to live a really good life. Give me a chance to sum up 6 not-so-common things that are really worth-doing. Read more

I have selected a nice, small and cheap house for your holidays in Salento, Puglia: Negroamaro House (ID: GU02). It is located into the negroamaro wine region in the south of Puglia. The area is one of the most important area for the wine production based on the negroamaro grape and just 20 km distant from the primitivo wine region. As you may understand, the house is in the middle of a wine country landscape surrounded by ancient olive trees. And it is not distant from Lecce, only 19 km. To see where the house is, find “Guagnano” on Google Map. Read more

My seasonal Puglia gift basket to the rest of the world

December 11th, 2011 fabio 4 commenti

I hadn’t in mind to write a post about a tipical Puglia Christmas gift untill I read this post A “Gift” from the Italy Blogging Roundtable: Join us! on Italylogue.com. The post is a public invitation to all the bloggers to write a post on the topic of gifts / presents / regali, not limited to just Christmas gifts. The promoters of this initiative wrote as following:

We’d love to hear your take on the subject of gifts/presents/regali as it relates to Italy

It was the perfect input for me to write my post for this online initiative which is called Italy Blogging Roundtable: “My seasonal Puglia gift basket to the rest of the world”. My gift is the one on the previous picture, a gift basket prepared in about 20 minutes. I imagined that I had no time to think about it, let’s say that it was a last minute gift. So, I prepared it with some of the seasonal products and fruits I usually get from my garden and some traditional other products you can find only here in Salento, south of Puglia. The result is what I call a seasonal gift basket made by 9 products to start discovering my region with a special focus on its great culinary culture and tradition. Here’s what you will find in this homemade gift basket. Read more
