Puglia, the heel of Italy, is heating up to be one of the trendiest destinations to visit in Europe.
Still chasing the end of that European summer sun? Rocky shores giving way to hidden beaches, olive groves, UNESCO sites, white-washed villages, an artistic heritage, vibrant nightlife, and five-star luxury boutique hotels, Puglia’s charms lay just off the beaten tracks, waiting to be discovered.
Tucked away on the sun-soaked shores of southern Italy, Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel is a blissfully tranquil retreat that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of back-to-work life. Located just steps from the Adriatic Sea in the peaceful village of Torre Canne, and a member of Virtuoso and Small Luxury Hotels of the World, this five-star, family-run boutique hotel is renowned for its commitment to the pleasures of slow living on the Italian coast.
And you could indulge for two nights with this exciting competition. Read on to find out how.
Greeting you at the start of your stay is a beautifully decorated lobby covered with bowls of fresh lemons, ceramic statues, hardcover travel books, and nice prints – all framed by the bright blue seaside horizon. Across the property, wander through whitewashed corridors and lavender-lined gardens, while taking in the scent of fresh lemons and the sea breeze. Spend the day moving between the turquoise pool, private beach area, and stylish lounge spaces, while seeping in the warm sun and the beauty of having nothing pressing to do. However, should you wish to venture out, the hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring the Valle d’Itria (just a 30-minute drive away) or meandering through the White City of Ostuni (a 20-minute drive), and so Canne Bianche makes an ideal base for discovering Puglia’s most iconic towns. The region is rich with narrow streets lined with incredible restaurants, souvenir shops, and sweet churches, and this stay invites you to immerse yourself in all of it… should you win, that is.

Back at the hotel, as part of the experience, you’ll enjoy a tailored dinner for two at the signature restaurant, Autentico Wine & Restaurant, where menus change with the seasons and are built around local ingredients. Think handmade orecchiette with cime di rapa, grilled catch-of-the-day with fennel and citrus, and Puglian panna cotta kissed with local almonds and wild honey. Wines will be carefully selected by the sommelier to complement each dish, offering a true taste of the region.
After a day of lounging, exploring, or sipping aperitivos by the sea, head to Aqua Spa, a sanctuary of calm to set your stay off on the right, relaxing track. Each guest will enjoy a luxurious treatment, with choices ranging from an ancient Apulian spa ritual using sage, rosemary, and mint scrub, or a couples massage using high-performance, organic products. The spa also features a Swedish sauna, a Turkish bath, and sensory showers to round out your rejuvenation.
