Puglia has
one of the hottest climates in Italy therefore water sports
and outdoor activities such as golf, walking, cycling etc...
are very popular. It is an evergreen region where you will
find the most amazing number of olive groves no matter where
you go. In fact Puglia is famous not only for its olive oil
but also for the local wine, particularly the Primitivo
variety, which is stronger than in the
rest of Italy due to the sweetness of the grapes. |

The nearest beach to San Vito is 'Lido Specchiolla'
which is 15 minutes drive away but our favourite beach is
Torre Santa Sabina a little further up the coast. Good
for diving and snorkelling with good restaurants, ice cream
and bars. The town of Fasano,
which is 45 minutes drive, provides golfing amenities as
well as a family fun park and zoo safari. Also near by is
the 'Grotte di Castellana' ... these caves which
stunning. Other interesting towns are Aberobello with it's famous conical shaped stone houses know as 'trulli', Grottaglie a famous centre for pottery, Lecce known as 'Florence of the south' because of it's fine decorative architecture although all the towns around San Vito have there historic old centres and many interesting features, castles, 'duomo' cathedrals, churches and much more.
