"Just wanted to pass on what a lovely stay we had at L’Oleandro. It’s such as special place, thoughtfully renovated and in a beautiful area of Puglia. The pizza chef evening was a huge success, a treat for us grown ups and the kids too. Thank you and the rest of Relax Puglia team for helping to make our holiday such a positive one. An extra special thank you to the Halloween fairies that provided decorations, accessories and sweets for the 31st, it was very thoughtful of you!"

If you wish to discover the key to local artisan excellence, include a stopover in one or more of the hamlets and villages that trip along the coastline, topple on the summits of hilltops or make a splash in to the small bays and lagoons.
