Is Puglia, Italy Really Paradise? Exploring Alberobello, Ostuni, Lecce & Locorotondo

Is Puglia, Italy truly paradise… or does the reality feel different once you experience it firsthand? In Part 2 of our Puglia, Italy series, we continue scouting southern Italy as a potential place to live, retire, or visit. After exploring Bari, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli in Part 1, we dive deeper into some of Puglia’s most iconic and talked about towns, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Ostuni, and Lecce to see if this region could actually be the right choice for expats, retirees, and digital nomads. Many people believe Puglia, Italy is the new Tuscany… but after spending time here, does Puglia live up to the dream? 🏨 WHERE WE STAYED: ►Trullo Pietra Cannella, Alberobello: https://booking.tp.st/4o9AdT5l ►Eugenio Suite, Lecce: https://booking.tp.st/vlgDBvdR ⭐TOP EXPERIENCE(S): ►E-Bike Tour through Valle d'Itria: https://getyourguide.tp.st/yErZInN1 ►Cooking Class in Lecce: https://getyourguide.tp.st/hEBoLNgZ ►Lecce History and Street Food Tasting Small Group Tour: https://viator.tp.st/V7w1MhvU 🔗LINK(S) MENTIONED IN VIDEO: ►Agora Article on Stefano Palmisano: https://agorablog.it/focus/stefano-co... ►€1 Houses: https://1eurohouses.com/regions/apulia/ ►Our Florence Video:    • Retiring In ITALY | Why Choose Florence   ►Our Tuscany Video:    • Tuscany, Italy 5 Day Travel Guide | Explor...   📽️YOUTUBE CHANNELS RENOVATING HOMES IN ITALY ►Julie in Italy:    • Little Italian House Archived Vlogs   ►Nicki Positano:    • THE TUSCAN DIARIES   ►Mr & Mrs Adventure:    • WATERMILL RENOVATION SERIES 🏰   ►The Newbys:    • If you are new to our channel, start watch...   👍USEFUL FACEBOOK GROUP(S): ►Moving to Italy - Expats in Italy:   / 1443373346567881   🏠REAL ESTATE WEBSITE(S): ►Idealista: https://www.idealista.it/en/affitto-c... 👇RESOURCES WE USE TRAVELING & LIVING ABROAD 🌍 https://seekingparadisebugs.com/servi...
