Our Favorite Moments of Magic

Puglia's landscape is truly unique in Italy. The region - located in the "heel" of Italy's boot - is long and narrow, with an eastern border that is entirely flanked by the Adriatic Sea. The territory is comprised of several iconic landmarks and while the sparkling seas and sandy beaches are fantastic, the inland territories overflowing with Olive groves, prickly pears, and citrus trees are equally as breathtaking.
We will explore this diverse landscape by adventuring in our own, private Vintage Cars with local drivers who were born and raised in this special land. With their help, we'll encounter hidden gem viewpoints and landmarks and soak up the natural beauty, sounds, smells, and unique tastes of Puglia.
Then, we'll venture to a local winery to discover the stunning estate and taste the territory through their unique wines, complimented by a light, Pugliese lunch! Buon Appetito!
(Let's be honest - we love it all! But these are the experiences we are most looking forward to sharing with you!)

discovering the territory via vintage car
One of my favorite parts of traveling is discovering the land through its producers and artisans who maintain centuries old traditions through their work and dedication. This special experience in the ceramics capital of Grottaglie takes it a step further by offering a completely unique and exclusive experience not available to the public.
You'll step into the workshop of Mimmo - a true workshop where ceramic masterpieces are designed, crafted, painted, and brought to life. You'll try your hand on the pottery wheel and get a little messy along the way, under the guidance of Mimmo himself.
Afterwards, we'll enter his private home and garden where he will tell the story of how he uncovered historic artifacts from thousands of years ago right under his own roof. You do not have to be a natural-born artist to walk away filled with emotion and wonder after these special moments!

The Valle d'Itria in Puglia is an iconic area located in the center of the region compromised of rolling countryside, endless olive groves and vineyards, and a variety of postcard-perfect villages to explore. And the very best way to discover it is on an E-bike!
This experience is suitable for even the most novice of riders with flat paths and incredible views. Gliding along with the help of your e-bike, you'll ride through thousands of olive trees, past ancient Roman walls, and smell the vibrant scents of citrus fruits and prickly pear.
This tasting experience will bring you to one of the most passionate Olive Oil producers you will ever meet before proceeding onward to a small, local cheese farm where we will indulge in a typical Pugliese lunch with freshly made Burrata cheese - a regional staple! This experience is sure to awaken all of your senses and connect you more deeply to Puglia!

tastes of the val d'itria
Puglia has the longest coastline of any Italian mainland region so the sea is absolutely essential to its identity. While the in-land towns of the Valle d'Itria receive the most recognition with their iconic Trulli and whitewashed architecture, the seaside towns are essential to any visit.
Imagine yourself exploring the charming streets, having an aperitivo overlooking the turquoise Adriatic, and tasting the salt in the air.
Our visit to Monopoli promises all this and more before we embark on a private sunset cruise with our own crew. We'll take in the beauty of the coast from the sea and indulge in Prosecco and a delicious aperitivo living the perfect version of "la dolce vita"!

“Angela spent a lot of timing getting to know what was most important to us to help us determine the best area of the island to stay on, what we wanted out of our resort, and what activities we were really interested in. She was very responsive and communicative with her thoughts and ideas throughout the whole process which we really appreciated since we had little knowledge of the island. You could tell she had done her research on the activities because the services were all top-notch. We can't wait to go back again and would absolutely recommend partnering with Angela to plan your vacation!”

“We could not be more happy, pleased, excited to share that Angela was by far the best Travel Agent we have ever worked with. From the start, Angela was there to help plan our dream honeymoon to Africa. She provided multiple options for us to decide from and provide fantastic recommendations that proved to be perfect! Angela listened to our wants, needs and requests to the smallest of details. She provided both Safari and beach experience for our trip. With Angela’s itinerary guidance, our trip was seamless, fun, relaxing and PERFECT for us.”

“Angela’s guidance was outstanding. We had a general sense of where we wanted to travel, but her guidance led us to the Caribbean. Having traveled on four different moderate cruise lines we new we wanted to step up to one of the more luxury lines. After what our expectations for the cuisine and service Angela led us toward Regent Cruise Line. She made numerous calls to clarify questions that we had, and she secured the answers that we were looking for. Her confidence during the planning process made us secure that we were making the correct decision in choosing the Caribbean and Regent as the line.”

“From the very beginning Angela was so attentive to our dream vacation! She gave us such great recommendations of the island and what was popular on the different areas of the island. It was so refreshing to be able to trust someone and know that her recommendations would be a safe bet. We ended up staying on the East side of Kauai & couldn’t have been happier with the location because it allowed us to easily travel to the North & South without it seeming like a huge to do. The excursions that Angela helped put together were so much fun! We couldn’t have had better guides & service- they were all wonderful.”
