Two women who met in Miami and instantly connected over a shared love of wellness, travel, and authentic experiences. Together they've created a retreat that blends Tanja's deep roots in Puglia with Natasha's expertise in movement and mindfulness.
"We can't wait to share this magical place with you."
Perched dramatically on limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, Polignano a Mare is one of Puglia's most photographed coastal towns. Whitewashed houses spill toward the sea, hidden coves shimmer in turquoise, and the historic centre is a maze of narrow alleys, sea-view terraces and tiny piazzas. We'll wander the old town, swim in the famous Lama Monachile cove, and stop for an espresso overlooking the cliffs.
An old fishing port with quiet, lived-in charm. Monopoli's harbour is still working — colourful wooden boats called gozzi bob beside the seawall — while inside the walls the centro storico opens onto sunlit squares, baroque churches, sandy pocket beaches and family-run trattorias serving the morning's catch. The pace is slow, the light is golden, and it feels like the Puglia of decades past.
Our home base. Officially one of the borghi più belli d'Italia, Locorotondo is a near-perfect circle of whitewashed houses with steeply pitched cummerse roofs, set on a hilltop above the Itria Valley. Geraniums tumble from every window, the streets are spotless, and from the belvedere you look out over a sea of olive groves, vineyards and trulli scattered across the countryside.
"La Città Bianca" — the White City — rises out of the olive plains in three brilliant tiers of lime-washed stone. Climb the winding lanes to the Gothic cathedral at the summit, where you'll find some of the best sunset views in Puglia: a glowing Adriatic on one side, an endless silver-green sea of ancient olive trees on the other. We'll explore at golden hour and stay for an aperitivo with a view.
Guests traveling together will be placed in the same room. Solo travelers will be thoughtfully paired with a like-minded guest.
