Curated Cultural Experiences in Salento, Puglia

These experiences are based in Salento, in southern Italy, and are designed for people who want more than surface-level tourism.

Some are enjoyed as part of a relocation or settling-in journey, others as standalone private experiences for those already living here or spending extended time in the region.

Everything we offer is grounded in real people, real places and the slow, generous rhythms that make life in southern Italy feel so special.
