My Private Puglia Map

Puglia is one of the most up-and-coming areas of Italy for travel. Think Adriatic Sea, charming towns, and everything you’d hope for on a slow-going Italian vacation.

I had the chance to spend 2.5 weeks there last summer with my family, slowly exploring about a half-dozen towns (my condensed Puglia itinerary). Of course, we found dozens of restaurants we loved, our favorite villages, and a list of lovely accommodations.

So I’ve taken all of our favorite places visited, saved restaurants, shops, cafes, and more, and you’ve guessed it — put it into a saved Google Map, a perk for paid subscribers.


If you’re considering becoming a paid subscriber, other maps included are my Barcelona Map and Kyoto Map, plus more coming soon. Join here to get full access!


If you’ve purchased my Northern California map, you'll know what these look like. They’re all the pins categorized by food, accommodation, cafe, sight, etc. Because it is in Google Maps, you can open the saved map either on Desktop or Mobile, easily done by the link shared in this post.

A preview of the map

The map is a saved Google Map that I've curated with locations for Puglia specifically (regions included: Monopoli to Ostuni and Val d’Itria). A Google map you can access on any device and use to find places and help plan trips. The map includes accommodations, places to eat, coffee shops, and things to do (like museums, sights, and local shops.)

What’s Included

  • Access to the map and 100+ pins

  • There are dozens of places that I've never covered on the blog. I've included lots of places that are on the blog as well for convenience. Having it all in one centralized place is helpful for trip planning and last-minute decisions while there.

What’s Not Included

  • The pins do not have personal descriptions. I’ve found it redundant as the pins are categorized accordingly, and all of the info you need is linked in there.

  • Note: sometimes the Google Saved Map may need a minute or two to load, it’s frequently touchy.

Here’s the Google Saved Map for Puglia
