I can't recommend this past week enough! A very different experience than the usual big groups moving from hotel to hotel every day. Various members of the wonderful family took me out to the beautiful sights of Puglia with plenty of time to look around on my own & then to return each day to my bungalow for a siesta. The meals were perfection, all local dishes with fresh ingredients, 4 star & cooked by Emilio himself, each ingrediant & method explained. The farm setting was beautiful amongst the fruit & olive trees. Though it was a little to early in the season for the pool to be open, I could still sit out in the sunshine & Spring flowers. A unique experience!

Manni and Leo were outstanding guides and support. The rides were beautiful and well planned. Hotels and food were great. Italy in June is too hot! This was our first bike tour and next time I would schedule it for cooler seasons.
