Escape To Italy

17/06/2024

Due to a late cancellation we’ve got Galatina festival week free in our calendar - at the end of June!! Galatina will come alive during the day with music, dance, food, lights … and not a 🕷️ bite victim in sight!

Also, the apartment is looking amazing. We’ve just had most of it redecorated, including the roof terraces. 🥰

The sea is warm, the sun is shining. Come and see the Notte De Tarante and the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. 🕷️

Galatina, one of “The 14 best places to visit in Puglia” … and one of the most central to explore the rest of them too 😜

“North of Nardó, you’ll find the town of Galatina. The town’s centro storico is tranquil and relatively undiscovered. The palazzi still reveal their faded glory and the lichen and moss growing on them gives you a sense of their history” …..

Connected with Galatina and feel grateful! My first virtual night out in Galatina. Francesco (of a fabulous little bar in Galatina old town - La Staffa) is a legend ...

For those of you that don’t mind a bit of head banging .... https://www.facebook.com/francesco.staffa.315/videos/10224281166203758/

Have you booked your summer holiday yet? :)

Puglia is a haven for those in search of authentic Italian experiences and adventures.
It’s still tucked away from mass tourism, has stunning beaches, countryside, baroque and Greek cities not to mention the organic delicious pugliese food…
There’s so much to explore in this area.

I highly recommend Italy’s gorgeous heel! ;) 😍🧳🥾🎒☀️🇮🇹

New discoveries and old favourites...

Mini rustici, mini tiramisu ... and then there’s my favourite mini car!! Also, a new hiking route and Galatina’s beautifully restored Santa Caterina being modelled by my old friend the town dog (Bruno?).

So good to hear from people that share my love of Galatina. A lovely article: https://www.moretimetotravel.com/galatina-a-little-italian-town-with-a-lot-of-tradition/

Arriving with few expectations, we learned there’s more than meets the eye in Galatina: A nice mix of art, architecture, history, and tradition.

No trip to Galatina is complete without Cinquecento watching off the balcony of Palazzo Luceri! @ Galatina, Italy https://t.co/zOKhn7Y4kz

A fabulous weekend in Galatina with some rather cool additions to our Italian home (Dyson fan included). I hope you like them!!!
