Hotels in Apulia, Italy

Apulia is the heel of Italy's boot, a sun-drenched region along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas known for its olive groves, whitewashed trulli houses in Alberobello (UNESCO-listed cone-roofed stone huts), and centuries-old masserie (fortified farms). Summers are hot, averaging 86°F (30°C), perfect for swimming at the crystal-clear beaches of the Salento peninsula or exploring the baroque city of Lecce's limestone architecture. Winters are mild, around 50°F (10°C), ideal for hiking the Gargano National Park's coastal trails or visiting the underground oil mills in Ostuni without the crowds. If you prefer spring, April to June offers pleasant temperatures in the 60s-70s°F (15-25°C) and the chance to see the almond blossoms in the Valle d'Itria.
