Traveling in Puglia: The romantic Locorotondo
The secret of the Valle d´Itria
Have you ever visited a place that feels like you've stepped into a postcard? Let us introduce you to Locorotondo, one of the most enchanting villages in the heart of Puglia. Perched on a hilltop in the Valle d'Itria, this white pearl is a destination that can't be missed on your bucket list!
A village in circles
The name says it all: Locorotondo literally means “round place”. The old town is built in a circular structure, which gives it a unique character. As you wander through the narrow alleys, you will feel the perfect balance between historical charm and modern flair. The white limestone houses, decorated with colorful flowers give you that instant la dolce vita feeling.
The balcony of Puglia
Locorotondo is not called the “Balcony of the Valle d'Itria” for nothing. From the edge of the village you can look out over an enchanting landscape full of olive groves, vineyards and the famous trulli (those cute houses with conical roofs). Take a moment to enjoy a cappuccino or a local wine here. You will soon understand why this view is world famous.
Wine & Dine
Wine lovers, take note! Locorotondo is known for its light, crisp white wine, made from local grapes such as Verdeca and Bianco d'Alessano. This is not a heavy wine; it's exactly what you want on a warm Italian day. Pair it with traditional dishes such as orechhiette pasta, burrata and fresh seafood and you have a culinary experience to remember.
Instagram Heaven
Let’s face it: Locorotondo is a dream destination for your Insta feed. From the whitewashed streets and picturesque balconies to the golden sunsets you watch from the vineyard on the edge of the village, you’ll want to capture every corner. Bonus points if you wear an outfit that matches the village’s calm, elegant character.
How do you get there?
Locorotondo is located in the heart of Puglia, about an hour's drive from Bari. It is the perfect base to explore other highlights of the region, such as Alberobello (the capital of the trulli), Martina Franca and Ostuni.
Why wait?
Locorotondo is more than a village; it’s an experience. It’s the perfect mix of tranquility, beauty and culture, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. Whether you come for the wine, the views or just to recharge, Locorotondo leaves a lasting impression.
