"Leave to the travel writers the question of whether or not it’s the new Tuscany; Puglia, by now, is familiar enough on its own, its dramatic and often sublimely bleak landscape just about as far as you can get from the postcard paradise of parts farther north. In contrast to the soothing spectacle of Tuscan farmhouses surrounded by rolling hills, Puglia is about beauty of a starker sort — like the gleaming, whitewashed, fifteenth-century Masseria San Domenico." - Tablet Hotels
