Every day had a high-light. The towns and villages of Puglia are wonderful and awe inspiring. Seeing all this from the saddle is such a thrill and privilege. For me the stay in Sassi Hotel Matera was absolutely great, again due to the central location and quick access to the centre of the town along with the quirky accommodation with the wonderful view over the roof tops and across the valley. Also the visit to the Mozzarella Farm was so authentic and a real experience. The hosts were so welcoming and down to earth. The bard was really simple but so enjoyable.Show more
