Discover the so-called 'heel' of Italy on a jaunt through Italy's countryside and live la dolce vita - with flights, car hire and breakfast throughout
Thinking of Italy conjures up a picturesque image: gentle vineyards, enchanting architecture, and miles upon miles of the gorgeous Mediterranean coastline. This is no more true than in Puglia, the heel of the famous Italian boot, and one of the southernmost regions blessed with a warm climate and a slow pace of life. Prepare to unwind on a seven, 10, or 12-night escape, where you'll hotel-hop around the countryside and embrace the laid-back Italian life, whiling away the hours on city walking tours and boat trips, wine or olive oil tastings, and lovingly prepared dinners. Plus, with car hire included, making your way around will be a breeze.
