What to expect?
Puglia is the Italy most tourists never find. No crowds, no overpriced spritz, no English menus. This chapter is for slowing down, eating a lot and enjoying the nature. We picked a traditional masseria in the countryside near Putignano. You'll work during the day with proper Wi-Fi, cook together at night, and spend your weekends exploring trulli villages, cliff-jumping in Polignano a Mare, and getting lost in the streets of Ostuni. Late August to late September is the sweet spot: still hot enough for the beach, but the summer crowds are gone.
FOOD
More Than Just Meals. We're in the south of Italy — fresh orecchiette, burrata made this morning, focaccia straight from local bakeries. We cook together most nights, and when we go out, we know the spots with no English menu and no tourist prices.
COMMUNITY
Your People, Italian Edition. Eleven rooms, one long dinner table, and a month together. You'll meet people who are building businesses, writing novels, and figuring life out — same as you. The house is designed so you bump into each other, not hide in your room.
ADVENTURE
Trulli, Beaches, and the Unexpected. Alberobello's trulli, the white city of Ostuni, cliff diving in Polignano, hidden coves along the Adriatic. Puglia packs more into a small area than anywhere we've been. And the surprise weekend? You'll hear about it for months after.
