Why We Skipped Rome for THIS Italy Paradise

Forget crammed hotel rooms and overpriced tourist traps. After 20 years living in Italy, I finally did a family trip right. I took my sister, her husband, and their teenage boys to a villa in Puglia—complete with olive groves, a private pool, and dinners made by a local chef.

I show you exactly how we did it: where we stayed, the wine we drank, the boat tour you should take, and the one town that “ruined” hotels forever for my brother-in-law. Plus, we visit Polignano a Mare, Matera, Alberobello, and a hidden gem vineyard for a real taste of southern Italy.

If you’re planning a trip with your family—or just dreaming of a slow, unforgettable Italian escape—this one’s for you.
