Travel Arrangements

Puglia

Puglia — the sun-bleached heel of Italy’s boot — is where time slows and beauty feels effortless. A landscape of ancient olive trees, pale limestone towns, and impossibly blue water, it is both quietly sophisticated and wonderfully unpolished. Here, whitewashed villages rise from rolling countryside, cliffs plunge into the Adriatic, and golden light lingers well past sunset.

Long beloved by Italians and still blissfully under the radar, Puglia offers a kind of understated magic — rustic masserias, simple food elevated to art, and a way of living that prizes connection over spectacle. It is cinematic without trying, elegant without pretense, and the perfect setting for gathering the people who matter most.

We have fully reserved a small collection of beautiful properties, each offering a slightly different experience. Guests are encouraged to choose what best suits their travel style, group, rhythm and budget — whether that’s peaceful relaxation, kid-friendly energy, or something simple and understated. All payment will be made thru us at a later time.

Please note that there will be no other guests on site except for partygoers.

Masseria San Francesco
Designed for adults and families traveling with infants, Masseria San Francesco pairs refined countryside charm with a more grown-up energy. Set among ancient stone and open landscape, it features a striking rock-formed pool, a lively bar, and spa amenities — creating the perfect balance of relaxation by day and celebratory spirit by night. It’s serene when you want it to be, but close to the action when the evening calls.
Rooms range from $400–$775 per night, depending on size of the room or multi-room suite accommodations. See a preview of the rooms here.

Masseria Don Luigi
Perfect for families with children, Masseria Don Luigi is lively, spacious, and made for play. With a large pool, playground, and plenty of open space for kids to roam freely, it offers a relaxed, communal atmosphere where little ones can be little ones — and parents can truly unwind.
Rooms range from $350–$550 per night. See a preview of the rooms here.

Borgo San Marco
We have reserved a few rooms at this stunning hotel where prices are lower but the vibe and facilities are still stunning. This masseria is about a 6 minute drive from the parties.
Rates range from $175–$250 per night.

Each option offers its own charm, and all are well suited for enjoying our time together in Puglia. Choose what feels right for you — we can’t wait to welcome you.

Additions:

For those looking for full five star luxury, our favorite hotel is across the street from Masseria Don Luigi. Masseria Torre Maizza is a Rocce Forte Hotel and absolutely stunning. Rooms go for between $800 - $2,500/per night.
