PUGLIA
Puglia in the heel of Italy is a seriously underrated region. Yet, its breath-taking monuments, together with its dazzling coastline, scenery, and exuberant party atmosphere make it truly unique and beautiful.

Take a moment and think how good it will feel to be surrounded by fascinating architecture, while you sip your espresso and wait for Noelle’s sessions to refocus on those dreams you have put aside for far too long and get clearer on your master plan.
While we will also be indulging on the yummy delights of Apulian cuisine, this life-changing experience will heighten all of your senses and revive your vitality and zest for life like no other!

The local cuisine
Puglia is a region of farmers and is famous for producing 40% of Italy’s olive oil. It’s also a huge producer of durum wheat, which has resulted in Puglia becoming the home of some of Italy’s most famous pasta dishes and breads.
This southern region has traditionally been a poor one, with cucina povera or simple peasant cooking responsible for most Apulian dishes. Vegetables are preferred over meat, while fish and seafood are enjoyed along Puglia’s coast. Hearty baked dishes, simple plates of pasta and wilted wild greens such as chicory or cime di rape (turnip tops) are among the region’s most famous foods, while the rich string cheese burrata and bread from Altamura are enough to justify a direct trip to the area.
During your time with us, you will have the opportunity to recreate some of the mouth-watering dishes with the expert help of a local chef and sample all the goodness of an Apulian’s homemade meal. I’m sure it will be an unforgettable experience for us all!
