Welcome to Puglia was born from a personal need for connection, the kind that goes beyond sightseeing and surface encounters.
It’s for solo travelers and small groups who don’t just want to visit a place, but feel part of it.

This project is a reflection of my own journey:
traveling alone, moving across countries, and often longing for a space where I could feel truly welcomed: not as a tourist, but as a person.

Here in Puglia, I’ve created that space.
Through my Welcome Stays and Welcome Events, I invite you to slow down, reconnect with yourself and others, and experience the rhythms of everyday life in Southern Italy, at a human pace, with real people.

You’ll unplug and breathe, but you’ll also have fun, share stories around a table, listen to and practice real Italian, and even make Italian friends who’ll welcome you like family.

And while you enjoy this journey, you’re also helping preserve a way of life.

Welcome to Puglia is not just your next trip.
It’s arrival, belonging, and a second home, even if only for a little while.
