THE LOCAL AREA

Just a short drive from the Adriatic Sea, the ancient agricultural village Pezze di Greco is today a popular tourist destination, immersed in the countryside and surrounded by centuries-old olive trees.

It has a population of 6000 inhabitants, and is part the municipality of Fasano.

Located 5 kilometers from the city of Fasano and only 7 km from the sea and the beaches around Torre Canne, Pezze di Greco is the most populous hamlet of the municipality of Brindisi located in the heart of the ancient Terra di Bari.

Pezze was established in the nineteenth century, when the Greco family decided to reunite its vast land holdings under a single entity and since then the small village has maintained its rural appearance and traditions of agricultural life.

WHAT ELSE TO SEE IN THE AREA

The property has the advantage of being centrally located between areas of interest such as Locorondonto, a Medieval town with a round-shaped old town centre. Locotondono is famous for its music festival in August and for its incredible beautiful Christmas decorations; the mile-long amazing caves of Castellana Grotte; the archaeological museum and excavations of the Roman Egnatia by the Adriatic coastline; the Trulli houses of Alberobello - a Unesco World Heritage site: the beautiful white town of Ostuni, located on top of a hill with fantastic sea views; the medieval town of Oria; the wealthy baroque town of Martina Franca; the petite and charming Cisternino, the Zoo Safari Park of Fasano (lots of fun for children and adults alike); the old town by the sea and caves of Polignano a Mare, well known also for its tasty ice-cream; Grottaglie famous for its ceramics and ancient stone carvings; the famous baroque city of Lecce which is called the Florence of the south.

Matera, another UNESCO World Heritage site, the world-famous Cliff City, is not located in Puglia but just across the borders to Basilicata. The drive there is only about 1 hour 20 minutes, and a fascinating tour awaits you.

Bari, the Commercial capital city with 250 000 inhabitants, offers the best shopping, a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli teatro and a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called Giovinazzo, a true gem right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria and 20 minutes further is Traini, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon bay & marina. Continue north to Castel del Monte, the mystical castle Frederic Ii built in the 12th Century.

Within a 2,5 hour drive to the north lies Gargano, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a significant nature and wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here, there are daily boat trips to the small Tremiti islands.

GETTING THERE

By air, there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet, Ba and others, both easily reached by the motorway; Bari in the north in about 60 minutes and Brindisi in about 35 minutes in the south. Both cities have ferry traffic to Greece, Albania and Croatia, so it's possible to make weekend trips across the Adriatic Sea.

LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE:

The Italian lifestyle means many things, especially socializing; the home is used for sleeping and breakfast, and the Italians go out for enjoyment and dining. Based in Canale di Pirro, there is so much you can experience, like early morning markets in the small towns. Music festivals, religious carnivals, beach life, historical tours in the main towns, cooking classes, learning Italian at language schools, dining at the many countries and seaside restaurants, and nightclubs at the beach clubs of Capitolo.

SPORTS

As Apulia is a peninsula surrounded by two seas- the Adriatic in the north and the Ionic in the south - water sports dominate in the area: sailing, yachting, water skiing, kite surfing, swimming & beach life. Golf has five good courses, and San Domenico is world-class (Pga 2014 Challenge Final). Tennis (there is one tennis club just 5 minutes away from the villa in Selva di Fasano), horseback riding, hiking and bicycle tours are other options for the active-minded. Squash clubs are located in Bari, Bitonto and other places.

THE WEATHER

Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than Northern Italy; even in the "winter months" of December to February, the average number of sun hours per day is four and 10-11 sun hours per day in June-August! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia. When you plan to buy a holiday home in Apulia, think you will spend much more time outside than inside that home. Therefore you will need plenty of terrace space, pergolas etc. At your Apulian property and also cooking facilities outside is very practical.

The water temperature at the beginning of May averages 19 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November. This means you & family will spend time at the beach. Wherever you are in Apulia, you can reach the shores within 30 minutes!

WHY BUY IN PUGLIA

Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venice and the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in the infrastructure, such as the improved motorways, enlarged airports and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia and this means value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia. In our opinion, investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand for northern Italians, as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. But rest assured, no tourist villages will ever be built because the coastline is protected in Apulia, and people are against modern developments that do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, prices are bound to rise with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties,
