Thank you for watching and your encouragement. We really appreciate you. Wow, lovely area where you live. What kind of tips on slow travel would help you the most?
Let’s start with conversano. Considering a week there in October. Flying from Nice to Bari? I assume it’s necessary to rent a car? Can you suggest air B &B? Intrigued by masseria. Did you you book everything in advance or book-on-the- go? How did you find such great places to stay?
That sounds fun. Yes, Bari is the closest airport to Conversano. A car will keep you the most flexible. We book accommodations far ahead, restaurants more on the fly, following our noses or asking locals. It takes GOBS of time culling listings, contacting hosts, and doing map reconnoissance to find the places we stay.😀 Here's the one in the countryside between Conversano and Polignano. www.lecasedimimi.it/it/case-vacanza/villa-torre-san-martino-011.html Working farms with dogs and farm equipment surround this neighborhood if you're noise sensitive. Enjoy your trip!
I'm from Conversano! I was born in the USA, but I lived in Conversano for about 12 years and my parents' home is in the ancient section of town on Via Martucci! I recognized the street in your video, but the footage stopped before you passed my home! I moved back to the US 32 years ago, but have been back from time to time to visit my family. My parents are now deceased, but my sister, nieces and nephews all still live there.
Ostuni-Gallipoli-Monopoli-Polignano a Mare-Fasano-Lecce-Brindisi is my favourite triangle in puglia. Beautiful beaches, great food and drinks all provided by people that know how to live very close to heaven, while firmly rooted to their home soil.
We traveled to Puglia last year to visit my husbands home town of Molfetta. While there we stayed in a masseria in Ostuni called Masseria Salinola. Absolutely the best! Definitely returning next year & plan on visiting Conversano. Thanks so much for all your videos
@@happygoluckytravel - i worked in movie/ TV…& know production value/ you spent your $$ wisely-by the way- do you list towns, cafes, shops, playas- that are especially lovely?
Great video! We just returned from a Puglia trip. Conversano will definitely be on the list for next time if we go back. We stayed three days in Monopoli, and realized that we should have made that a day trip and spent more time in Lecce. A surprise for us was that a friend of ours took us to Monte Sant'Angelo for a day trip. Amazing!
@@happygoluckytravel I do feel lucky! And your beautiful video made me very excited to be going there to apply for my Italian citizenship! Grazie mille!
I spent 2 months in Polignano a mare in 2000 . I did not see one other tourist except for some local Italian tourists.. Glad I experienced Puglia when it wasn’t a thing and the lira was so cheap. 5 star seafood and great wine for so very little.
Love the videos, keep them coming. I was wondering where did you stay outside of Conversano. We will be there end of July and really liked the house you stayed at, looking forward to something this for a few days. Ciao

@@happygoluckytravel No problem on the subscription, that's some house you bought! We are 4 years behind you. Looking on purchasing in The Scalea area or The Salento region in the heel ... We will be in Positano in October and can't wait to start exploring. I just applied for my dual citizenship (grazie Nono!)
Buongiorno. Grazie da Texas. I had to lane gh because we can get those round crackers from Puglia at Whole Foods. Product of Italy. My favorite is the spicy peperoncino. I don’t know how a cracker can be so hot. Voremmo abitare in Puglia. È un sogno!
Salento has long started a tourism politics for young people, discos, night clubs have been created, in a few years Salento will be one of the top European destinations for nightlife and sea.
Nice content on a path less traveled. Will be heading to Puglia soon and not sure where to stay. Conversano sounds great! But how did you guys get around for your day trips?
Great video. We rented a villa for a month in Passignano Sul Trasimeno. The villa was spectacular. 1000 years old, but remodeled in 1700… If you decide to make another video we can give you lots of tips. can you send me a link to the place you rented? How was it?
Thank you for watching! We haven't been to that part of Umbria -- sounds like quite and experience!

Hello ! We are planning a month long trip to Puglia to look at properties and thanks to your videos Conversano is a favorite !! Would it be possible to have a link or the name of the masseria you rented ? It seems perfect for our needs ! Hope you see this message even though this is an old video ! ❤
Wow, that sounds fabulous. We're so jealous!

@@happygoluckytravel thank you soooo much ! We will look it up ! And when we do buy, i'll let you know. Where ever it us ! In case you guys ever wander that way ! ☺
We will be in Puglia for a week next month and will definitely head to Conversano! I’m wondering if you can give me a tip on the best shop to find the taralli (the little round crackers! May have spelled it wrong…) you showed in the video? I love them and I’m excited to find them!
How lucky you will be there! Have fun! In Polignano a Mare there is a market that has a very big selection of Taralli. Numeri Primi Market on Viale Delle Rimembranze. Across the street and a few doors down is Il Libro Possible for a nice espresso/snack. In Lecce there are several shops dedicated to Taralli. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
We have been to Puglia a couple of times and it is one of our favorite areas in southern Italy. Last year we spent 6 weeks in a rented apartment on the main plaza in Fasano. Like you we try to avoid the touristic towns. Don´t get me wrong you should visit them, but if you want to feel the authentic beat of local life stay somewhere else. Anyhow, good videos.
Lucky that you got to stay in lovely Fasano and enjoy such an authentic town! Thank you for watching and this comment encouraging stays in places that offer the experience of local life.

Conversano holds their cherry festival in June -- You might check with the local tourist office on exact dates in June because they can change each year. Have a wonderful stay on your next trip to Puglia!
Loved my stay in Monopoli & visited some of the other places you mentioned but sadly no time for Conversano or Ostuni. You’ve inspired me to go back and soak it all up again. Q Are you living in the area or just touring around? Whichever one - have a great time in Puglia! ❤️💚
Hello, new sub’r here! Is the beautiful house you stayed in, the one listed in your description? Also, do people there speak English? I know very little Italian…just enough for small talk. Thank you for your informative video.

A lot of locals speak some English, but not all. Polignano, Monopoli, Alberobello more so because more tourists focus there. Translation apps are pretty sophisticated these days and can help a lot 😀

In 2017 we went to cisternino and rented a truly that had a farm…we pick up tomatoes….and then we stayed in monopoli centro histórico. FROM all there we travelled along puglia. Before stayed in matera and visited castelmenzano…unesco heritage town.
@@happygoluckytravel it was…and I really didn’t have it planned on what to do or see, but we did as we went. I had my elderly parent and two kids, 11 and 10 and still did so much. After I found videos of so many places to go!!
I m planning to go back, but different places…considering conversano, would like Bari vecchia…. I ve been is some places, planning to stay in Vieste too

Hi, Thank you for watching! We leased a car in Rome and drove down. Having a car does help with getting to all the beautiful little villages spread apart in the valley and to the stunning beaches on the coast. We hope you have a wonderful trip!
@@happygoluckytravel thank you so much :). We also leased a car because it was way quicker than taking the public transport and it made our planning more flexible. And it was sooooo beautiful, I'm still in the Italian vacation mode although we're back home again and work will start again on Monday. Thank you so much for your inspirations and tips :)

Thank you for watching. That is Lido Santo Stefano, south of Monopoli. If you haven't already seen our ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-owfrrOqSq80.html Best Beaches in Puglia video, we show you how to reach both the public and paid access to Santo Stefano in that video. Are you headed to Puglia?
Hi Anna, thanks for watching. You definitely need a car to get around the smaller villages in Puglia. Since we've been traveling for about a year now, we've been doing short term car leases rather than renting. If you don't want to drive yourself there are probably services where you can rent a car with driver, but we haven't looked into those.
Thank you for watching! Prices change every year and vary by month, half-day/full-day, parking included/not included, and location on the beach. Best to call and find out their most current prices. lidosantostefanomonopoli.it In June last year, full day, front of beach was around 100 euros, 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella.
