Puglia. Even the word sounds like sunshine on your face and salt on your skin, doesn\u2019t it? It\u2019s that perfect mix of laid-back chaos, Italian charm, and food that somehow always tastes a little better than at home. So, we went to Apulia. No big plan, just a strong craving for sun, sea, and seriously good food. And what can I say? Italia, ti amo! <\/p>\n\n
At the start of our Apulia trip, we headed all the way down south, right to the heel of the boot. For the first few days, we stayed in an Airbnb<\/a> that turned out to be even more magical than we had imagined. It was an old caravan nestled in a huge natural garden, surrounded by olive trees and the sound of chirping crickets. There are only two accommodations on the property, far apart from each other, so you feel like you have the entire place all to yourself. <\/p>\n\n The owners live in a small house at the entrance of the property, super warm and welcoming, always around if you need anything, but never intrusive. The accommodation itself was simple but absolutely beautiful. There was an outdoor kitchen, which in theory you share with others, though we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves. A spotless eco-toilet, an open-air shower, fairy lights strung through the trees, and hammocks for lazy afternoons. Honestly, it was perfect. <\/p>\n\n In the evenings, we sat outside, ate dinner, and listened to the wind whispering through the trees. Even though we only stayed for two nights, saying goodbye was surprisingly hard. We easily could have stayed another week without missing a thing. <\/p>\n
