“After gaining popularity over the past few years, it’s quite possible you’ve heard of Italy’s southern region of Puglia, known for its whitewashed hill towns and bright blue waters.

A destination you may not be familiar with, however, is Puglia’s small and baroque city of Nardó, located along the coast of the Ionian Sea.

A great base for exploring the many charming Apulian towns near by, the best way to experience Nardó is by staying at the Relais Monastero Santa Teresa.

An art boutique hotel, this property is also an ‘albergo diffuso’, meaning it has rooms and suites located in different historical palaces throughout the town.

This unique concept of hospitality will allow you to experience Nardó authentically, as if you were a local, making for an extra special stay.

“As it was perfectly articulated in a recent New York Times article, there’s “Something in the Air” in Salento.

The southernmost region of what’s often described as Italy’s ‘boot heel’ – and largely undiscovered by international tourists – this destination allows you to experience Puglia differently than you would in its more well-known northern cities.

Seaside gems in the form of local shops and fresh seafood restaurants; a stunningly dramatic coastline; historical cities and unspoiled towns; locally produced and highly regarded food and wine; white sand beaches; crystal clear, Caribbean-like waters – this is a taste of what awaits in Italy’s beautiful Salento region.

If you appreciate laid back authenticity and like to experience destinations through a local lens when traveling, contact me to learn more about why visiting this special part of Puglia might be the perfect addition to your bucket list.”
