Puglia is having a moment — and in 2026, that moment has turned into a full-blown love affair. Foreign arrivals are up 25% year-on-year, international overnight stays have surged by more than 22%, and travel editors from Condé Nast Traveller to niche data analysts like PugliaGuys are calling it: the heel of Italy’s boot has officially overtaken Santorini and the Amalfi Coast as the Mediterranean’s most wanted escape.
Safeguard our historical cultural heritage
A PROJECT OF THE HISTORICAL NERETINE DIMORE
With the ancient noble palaces of the Old Town, the noble villas of the Cenate, the fortified farms, the coastal towers, the parks and the botanical gardens, the territory of Nardò is one of the richest and most extensive of Salento and our peninsula.
The Neretine Historical Houses Association aims to enhance, recover and safeguard this unique heritage that history has given us and that it is our duty to preserve and promote in Italy and in the world
