• Welcome Events are one-day or evening experiences designed for expats, locals, and visitors passing through.
  They’re a space where the world meets Puglia, where people come together through food, connection, and the simple joy of authentic southern living.

• Welcome Stays are 4–day immersive experiences (without accommodation) designed for solo travelers or small groups who want to live like locals, cook, explore, and learn Italian while discovering everyday life in southern Italy.

• The Grand Welcome Tour is a full 8-day curated journey across Puglia that includes accommodation, meals, activities, and local connections. It’s ideal if you want a deep, all-inclusive experience and prefer to travel with a small group.

✅ Grand Welcome Tour → Yes, accommodation is fully included.

❌ Welcome Stays → No, accommodation is not included. This gives you the freedom to choose your own based on your style and budget. However, if you need guidance, I will be happy to recommend trusted local places.

❌ Welcome Events → These are short experiences and don’t include accommodation.

They all take place in Puglia.

Welcome Events and Stays currently take place in Mola di Bari, Bari, or Pietramontecorvino (Monti Dauni area), depending on the version.

The Grand Tour includes multiple iconic and lesser-known destinations, including Mola di Bari, Bari, Polignano, Alberobello, Putignano,  Matera and Lecce.

Welcome Events happen throughout the year and are announced via Instagram or WhatsApp. Some are last-minute pop-ups, others are planned.

Welcome Stays are available all year long! Check-in is always on Friday, and check-out is on Monday, giving you a long weekend of connection, culture, and authentic experiences in Puglia.

Grand Welcome Tour runs on fixed dates only. The next one is June 3–10, 2026.
