DISTANCES & CONCIERGE
Apulia has great energy that comes from mixing history with so many different people from all over the world. And, as well as the restaurants, shopping, and nearby nature, people’s perceptions are mesmerized by what a culturally rich area this is in terms of architecture, and art. The word Bari in Arabic is related to God or Allah and thus its meaning is ‘Of Allah’ or ‘The Creator’. We recommend the traditional Ristorante da Fabio and, for those who prefer a younger vibe, the Michelin-starred BROS’. Sneak to Tenute Al Bano for a wine tasting. The closest bars for social activities are along the seaside in Otranto. This part of Apulia offers classic seaside activities for children, starting from the wild and rocky beaches of the Adriatic Sea or the sandy beach clubs in the Ionian Sea, other attractions include activities such as trekking and cycling.
