PUGLIA
WITH THE KIDS: AGES 8+
Trip Length: 6 days/5 nights
Start/Finish: Bari/Bari
Puglia is one of our favourite regions – and our most popular
biking destination – for myriad reasons. We love the food:
hearty, rustic Italian with an emphasis on fresh veggies. And
the coastline is like nothing you’d expect in Italy; with
whitewashed villages and a rocky shore, you’d swear you were in
Greece. Then there’s the riding. It’s close to flat, and the
quiet roads follow along the Adriatic and head inland through
thousand-year-old olive groves and countryside dotted with stone
trulli.
Puglia is the perfect place to bring kids. It’s laid back in
that southern way that lets you dine casually, make fun shapes
with mozzarella, and fashion your own pizza dinner. What’s more,
warm beaches and cool caves keep kids entertained while adults
linger at a seaside trattoria. Trip Highlights:
- Bike on small roads through orchards to the sea
- Tour Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with
local guide Alessandro
- Cycle through olive groves to the Roman ruins of Egnazia
- Hang out at the hotel’s private beach club
- Learn how to make the local specialty, orecchiette (baby
ears) pasta

Masseria Torre Coccaro, Savelletri
This lovely hotel was created around a 14thC seaside watchtower.
Once used by Maltese Knights on guard against the Turks, the
tower is now the hotel’s peaceful lookout from which to watch
delighted guests lolling around the 15-hectare grounds, lounging
by the huge saltwater swimming pool, strolling around their
private olive groves and gardens, or heading off to the Aveda
spa.
