Follow us on a quest to uncover Puglia's best-kept secrets: those boutique-hotels, farmhouses and period homes that have been designed to ensure the utmost privacy for their occupants. Each of the featured locations has been chosen with a curator's sophisticated eye. A story lurks behind every discovery, from chanced-upon clues to snatches of gossip from a friend. This book collects the secret haunts of Puglia's elite: houses built by those who have sought and achieved excellence, who now share it with their guests. The aim is to put together a map of precious, unique, and private places. Places to be discovered one by one, arranged along an imaginary pathway between the pages of this book.
