Cycling Puglia & Matera

Throughout this town-to-town cycling trip, we use three- and four-star hotels and renovated traditional buildings, which have been selected for their location, comfort and character.  



Below are the hotels we typically use. 



Matera: Hotel Belvedere, Residence Casalnuovo, or Palazzo del Sedile (night 1) 

Alberobello: Traditional trulli houses or Colle del Sole (night 2) 

Ostuni: Relais Sant’Eligio, Masseria Valente, or Ostuni Palace (night 3) 

Avetrana: Masseria Bosco (night 4) 

Gallipoli: Hotel 33 Baroni (night 5) 

Otranto: Hotel Albània, Vittoria Resort, or Relais Valle dell'Idro (night 6) 

Lecce: Hotel Eos, Hotel delle Palme, or Hotel President (night 7) 







For many, our standout stay is Masseria Bosco (above), a bucolic farm estate with original stone buildings. Our groups often head straight for the swimming pool (perhaps picking up a wine or beer en route), where there’s an inviting set of sun loungers. Alternatively, you may want to wander around the working farm, enjoying a peaceful moment among the olive groves. Dinner is held where the animals were once kept. It’s a celebration of Pulian produce with much of the ingredients grown on the farm – make sure to sample their delicious range of olive oils and homemade wines. 



Worth knowing 



Due to the limited capacity of hotels in Matera we are not able to confirm the definite start hotel for each departure far in advance, and the group may occasionally be split across different accommodations of similar standards. 

You can contact your sales representative two weeks before departure if you wish to receive the up-to-date hotels list for your trip.
