where to stay

puglia is located in the southern peninsula of italy, commonly referred to as the heel of italy’s boot and is home to historic towns, diverse landscapes, authentic food and some of the best beaches in southern italy.

the closest airports are bari and brindisi, both of which offer easy access to masseria calderisi and surrounding hotels

a rental car is a great option if you plan to explore the region as puglia is spread apart - towns are small and cozy with little public transportation.

transportation for wedding weekend will be shared closer to the date.
