The Itria Valley, Valle d'Itria, is the Valley of the trulli and the masserie. The Itria Valley is divided, in terms of territory, between Bari, Brindisi, and Taranto, and lies in a favourable position between Alberobello, Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Ceglie Messapica.

One of the most touristic attractive areas of Puglia and one of the most beautiful landscapes all over the region is the wonderful Valle d’Itria, which is covered with "Trulli" and white "Masserie", the supreme expression of peasant architecture.

The Valley landscape is of vineyards and olive groves, dry-stone walled fields are characteristic of all the Valley.

Valle d’Itria landscape is embellished by two ancient churches: San Donato church and the Providence one. The last one is a little church of 1561 (at that time it was called “Santo Antonio seu de Padua”), that was restored thanks to the parishioners contribution and it was then consecrated to Santa Maria della Provvidenza in the end of the XVII cent.

Alberobello: Puglia's has the unique Trulli, which can be found in abundance in Alberebello. This rural architecture has made the town of Alberobello a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ostuni is a white town of great beauty, set on a hilltop overlooking and commanding the plain below. For your enjoyment, the area hosts a number of close amenities, including golf courses, an aqua park, scuba diving, snorkelling, horse riding, markets, go-karting, fishing, sailing and walking facilities.

Cisternino: Cisternino is situated in the land of the trulli which is visited every year by many tourists. Cisternino offers a sun-drenched charm and stands on a small hill from where the eye sweeps over both Martina Franca and the Itria valley.

Martina Franca: Very well known for its baroque and rococo buildings and productions of good strong white wine. Place to see: Santo Stefano gate, the Ducal Palace, Church of St. Martino and Corso Cavour with some of its most famous baroque palaces.

Locorotondo appears on the top of a round hill, as a large cluster of white houses dominated by a tall church. Inside the walls surrounding the centro storico, and breached only in a few places is a fascinating and beautiful warren of narrow streets and alleyways, whitewashed houses, arches, and balconies full of colourful flowers.

The town of Ceglie Messapica was founded by the Cretans. The oldest part of the town,was on top of a hill right where the Ognissanti "piazza" (square) is now. On the side of the hill some areas have been discovered as being old burial sites. The castle built in the XIth century has an older part in the form of the square tower, built befor the rest of the castle was. in the area surrounding Ceglie Messapica there are the famouse limestone caves of Montevicoli, along wiht many beautiful "Masserie" (large stone farmhouses).
