Experience Salento
The food, the sun, the wine, the chaos… welcome to the good stuff.
Moving to Italy gives you paperwork.
Staying in Italy gives you stories.
These Experiences are the stories — the delicious, sun-drenched, slightly chaotic ones you’ll tell your friends back home when they ask, “So, how’s Italy?”
Whether you're a digital nomad hunting for connection, a student living la studente vita, a family relocating for a fresh start, or a retiree living your best dream life… these experiences exist to help you feel at home, settled…and slightly smug about your decision to move south.
Here’s What You Can Experience
(A curated mix of moments we think
you’re going to love!)
Cooking Classes
Learn to make traditional Pugliese dishes in hands-on, welcoming classes led by locals. Expect great food, relaxed conversation and skills you’ll use long after you’re settled here.
Weekend Beach Escape
A curated weekend away with beach club access in Torre Lapillo with seaside meals, and a chance to unwind after the busy work of moving. Perfect for easing into your new life here.
Private Wine Tastings
Enjoy personalised wine tastings hosted by my sommelier partner, Salvatore at his beachside B&B or wherever you fancy. Discover regional varieties, pairings and the stories behind each wine in a relaxed, approachable setting.
Neighbourhood Food Walk
Want to find out where to taste the best local specialties? We’ll take you on a curated walk to show you the very best Lecce has to offer.
Masseria Visits
Spend a slow afternoon at a local masseria, exploring olive groves, sampling farm-to-table dishes, and connecting with the cultural roots of the region.
Aperitivo or Private Dining
Enjoy an intimate dining or aperitivo experience designed to introduce you to Puglia’s flavours. Whether it’s a relaxed meal or a golden-hour aperitivo, we’ve got you sorted.
Experiences are optional add-ons for anyone working with me through a Relocation & Settling-In Package, but they’re also for anyone who wants to explore the local region!
Everything is tailored to your pace and interests
Pricing varies (depending on season, group size and complexity of adventure)
Once you’re here, we plan what feels right for you. Want something different, let us know!
No pressure. No tight itineraries. Only good days.
