  "Passionate Puglia"
  "An extremely enjoyable few days in a gorgeously scenic part of the world. This was a press trip arranged by the very welcoming Antonello Losito of Southern Visions Travel and the focus was Puglian food. Chef Rocco provided exceptional meals and inspiring cooking lessons while the days were filled wi..."th authentic experiences highlighting the lifestyle and history of the region.

Visiting some exceptional local restaurants and no less than two incredible world heritage sites also helped set the scene for an amazing week of discovery. Commendable hosts and beautiful accommodation too. Lots of fun! " More >
