Excellent region for a cycling break. We went in April/May and the roads were reasonably quiet, except the SP358 on the east coast, which we happened to negotiate on a bank holiday and was quite busy, especially with motorbikes (invariably not taking any notice of the speed limits). Some of the other roads may also be busy in the high season. Generally very good accommodation & food, but we didn't feel the Al Pescatore Hotel in Gallipolli was anythig like the claimed 4 star rating. We finished our holiday with an extra couple of nights in Lecce, which we enjoyed and can recommend.
Loved it! Ate our body weight in pasta...the food was super. Least we were working if off in some way.
Highlights were perhaps the interior cycles, the sleepy towns were a joy to simply sit in and observe Life.
This was a marvellous holiday, it had so much interest factor every day, we loved the scenery, the very Italian nature of the area, the views whilst cycling were tremendous. It's possibly the best holiday I've ever had. Somewhere it should be mentioned the devastation that has been caused by Xylella Fastidiosa. It is alarming to see the vast swathes of olive groves that are already dead and the very many that are dying. I would have liked to understand what I was seeing - in the end I googled. The problem is clearly causing a huge economic problem for all farmers in the region.

An excellent holiday in a lovely unspoilt part of Italy. The accommodation, hospitality and food in the Masserias was superb. Stunning coastines. Plenty of opportunities to sightsee and swim en-route.
Tip for customers: be sure to keep plenty of water in your pannier as it is not always easy to find places selling water.
With winter approaching and both myself and my wife having had a tough year, the choice of cycling in Puglia was a perfect last minute October break. We had sunshine, history, quiet roads and comfortable accommodation at the end of a days cycling. The simple but delicious Southern Italian food was as good as its reputation and the hosts of the Masserias alweays keen to accomodate. We were lucky to have had such wonderful weather but a fabulous weeks break gave us the last of the sunshine before winter in the UK.
We had excellent weather for mid/late October. The sea bathing was a bonus and to be recommended. The pools at the second and final locations were of excellent quality.
We thought the whole holiday was wonderful. We were lucky that we had total sunshine for the cycling but not too hot (October). The scenery, at times, was breathtaking. I think summertime heat and increased traffic might make the holiday a less pleasant experience. Heavy traffic on one route was the only problem we encountered. Inntravel's organisation of our extended holiday, at short notice, was superb.
E-bikes enabled us to have a sightseeing holiday without having to concentrate on making progress or climbing hills. After our first experience with e-bikes, we will definitely consider using them again. The meal on the first night at M Copertini was very good and the welcome and services at M Chicco Rizzo were excellent. The suggestion of La Vinaigrette in Gallipoli was very successful.
My personal highlight was arriving at Masseria Panareo - a wonderful reward for a rather challenging climb at the end of the day. In Lecce - I would recommend "Boccon Divino" in Via Libertini for lunch - the 15 euro 2 courses with wine was amazing.
