Transportation
With Puglia's beautiful Baroque cities, hilltop villages, vineyards and numerous beaches, you'll want to have your own rental car.
​
you'd be missing much of Puglia without it!
Generally speaking, everything is 30 min. away.
Pro Tips
If you're not comfortable driving a stick, be sure to reserve an automatic well in advance. Additionally, rent a small car, as roads and parking spots can be teeny tiny! We typically use Hertz, though many options are available.

Travel
We've found Rome to be the easiest, most seamless hub city when traveling to Bari
(our recommended airport for flying to Puglia)
though there are many other options too.
check out more tips from The Thinking Traveler HERE.
​
You may even consider heading to Rome a few days early to enjoy la dolce vita--- we think a picnic in Villa Borghese's gardens is the perfect cure for jet lag!
​
Accommodations
The Puglia secret is out and July is a very popular travel time---
we'd advise you to book your accommodations early!
We recommend staying near Savelletri or Martina Franca areas.
We have secured preferred rates at both:
​
Masseria Fumarola (15 min from ceremony)
-and-
Casale Del Murgese (30 min from ceremony)
-and-
Masseria San Michele (5 min from ceremony)
​
Be sure to mention you're booking for the Gant-Polidori wedding!
​
Puglia is full of gorgeous places to stay. Other favorites in the area include:
​
Torre Coccaro (30 min from ceremony)
Borgo Egnazia (30 min from ceremony)
