All our accommodation selections are in-house reviewed. We partner with family-owned, charming guesthouses and hotels where you can relax and recharge. Below are some sample accommodations on our Puglia tours. Depending on availability, the accommodation you stay at may vary but will always be of a similar standard.
Tipico Resort offers a truly distinctive Alberobello experience, with traditional trulli and stone-built rooms scattered throughout the UNESCO-listed historic centre. Rather than staying in a conventional hotel, guests sleep in beautifully restored historic buildings while still enjoying modern comforts. Its central location means Alberobello’s winding lanes, restaurants, artisan shops and famous trulli districts are all just a short walk away.
Fuoridalguscio is a charming boutique B&B set just a short walk from the marina and seafront in Santa Maria di Leuca. Housed in a stylishly restored family residence, it combines thoughtful design with a warm, intimate atmosphere and comfortable rooms. Breakfast is a particular highlight, featuring generous local produce and quality regional ingredients, while its location makes the waterfront, restaurants and centre of Leuca easy to reach on foot.
Kabala Bed and Breakfast is a charming historic residence dating from the 1400s, set in the heart of Lecce’s old Jewish quarter just a few steps from the Basilica di Santa Croce. The property blends original character with modern comfort, with rooms overlooking a peaceful secret garden and Renaissance well. Its central location makes Lecce’s Baroque streets, restaurants, cafés and main sights easy to explore on foot.
This tour is in our Challenging difficulty grading and combines quiet country roads, rural lanes and scenic coastal routes with significantly longer daily distances and more sustained climbing than our Gentle and Moderate itineraries. Several days cover 80–95 km, while the Santa Maria di Leuca to Otranto section adds repeated Adriatic climbs to the challenge.
A choice of electric bikes, gravel bikes and hybrid / step-through touring bikes is available, allowing you to select the style of bike that best suits your riding preferences.
This is a more rewarding tour of discovery, designed for riders who want to experience Puglia in greater depth while enjoying longer days in the saddle and a little more challenge along the way.
With varied daily distances, rolling terrain and a more demanding Adriatic section, it is well suited to confident recreational cyclists who enjoy balancing the riding with scenery, culture, food and wine. From trulli villages and vineyard country to Ionian beaches, dramatic coastal roads and Baroque Lecce, the route offers a rich and varied journey through southern Italy.

We offer tours in Puglia from March to November, excluding August. At the start and end of the season, daytime temperatures are generally mild and comfortable for cycling, typically averaging around 16–20°C (61–68°F). Spring and autumn are also quieter times to visit, with fewer crowds in popular towns such as Alberobello, Ostuni and Lecce.
Temperatures rise steadily through the summer, with July and August typically averaging around 28–31°C (82–88°F) during the day. These are also among the driest months, although temperatures can occasionally climb into the mid-to-high 30s °C (95°F+), particularly on inland sections.
As this tour travels through both inland countryside and along the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, conditions can vary from day to day. Coastal sections often benefit from sea breezes, while inland areas around the Valle d’Itria and Salento can feel noticeably warmer during the height of summer.
We include detailed navigation instructions and GPX files for your ride. Our navigation app is easy to use, and we provide a clear instructional video before your tour. If you have any difficulty along the way, we are always on hand to assist.
English is widely spoken in many of Puglia’s main towns and tourist areas, particularly in hotels, restaurants and visitor attractions. In smaller villages and more rural areas, English may be less common, but locals are generally welcoming and helpful, and a few basic Italian phrases can go a long way.
Included in your tour is 24/7 message and video support. Whether you need help with navigation, a bike issue, accommodation, medical assistance or anything else along the way, we are always just a message or call away.
We also work with a trusted network of local suppliers and service partners throughout Puglia, allowing us to respond quickly and help resolve any problems as smoothly as possible.
