Visiting the Itria Valley in the first months of the year means discovering the most authentic and quiet side of Puglia, far from mass tourism and immersed in an intimate, evocative atmosphere. It is the ideal time to explore historic villages such as Alberobello, with its UNESCO-listed trulli; Locorotondo, elegant and panoramic; Cisternino, famous for its white alleys and gastronomic tradition; and Martina Franca, a refined Baroque town rich in history and culture.
The early months of the year are also a time full of popular traditions, with events linked to Carnival—foremost among them the renowned Putignano Carnival, one of the oldest in Europe, which enlivens the area with allegorical floats, masks, and music. Putignano’s proximity to the Itria Valley makes it easy to take part in the celebrations, enriching your stay with a unique cultural experience. The cool yet mild climate is perfect for walks along dry-stone walls, country lanes, and centuries-old olive groves, as well as visits to masserie, wineries, and olive mills for tastings of local products.
To fully enjoy this experience, you can stay at Il Vigneto Sole&Luna, a refined complex of 19th-century trulli immersed in the lush nature of the Itria Valley. Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and fig trees, it offers a timeless atmosphere—ideal for those seeking relaxation, privacy, and authenticity. The property features two independent accommodation units, elegantly furnished, with fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, spacious outdoor areas, a furnished patio, barbecue, wood-fired oven, and a swimming pool set in greenery, perfect even for children.
Its strategic location, just minutes from Alberobello, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, and Putignano, as well as the coasts of Monopoli, Savelletri, and Polignano a Mare, makes "Il Vigneto Sole&Luna" the ideal starting point for discovering villages, the sea, nature, and food-and-wine routes—enjoying a holiday in Puglia dedicated to tranquility, well-being, and discovery.
We look forward to welcoming you at Il Vigneto Sole&Luna, to share with you the authentic magic of the Itria Valley.
