If you’re able to drag yourself away from your Puglia villa's private pool, you’ll find lots of activities for the whole family to enjoy together. Take a cycling tour to explore the picturesque countryside or head to Fasanolandia, a theme park and zoo all on one site. If you need to cool off, why not visit the Aquapark Eganzia waterpark? For something completely different, visit the Grotte di Castellana, a network of caves nearly 2 miles long and 60 metres deep. A guided tour takes around 2 hours and is an ideal way to avoid the heat of the day. There are also smaller cave complexes you can visit near the town of Putignano.

Puglia is a popular destination during the summer months, where you can expect long sunny days and relaxing evenings - perfect for the alfresco way of life. Daytime temperatures rise to around 20°C by the end of April, while summer begins in late May and lasts until the end of September. In July and August, daytime temperatures rise to around 30°C. You can expect a few degrees difference in the temperature between the coast and the inland Vale d’Itria Valley, which is around 400 metres above sea level and tends to be cooler.
