If you want to head to Italy on your holiday this year then one of the best regions of all to discover is Puglia. Scorrano is the base for this festival to celebrate its patron saint, Santa Domenica. This festival is held in Otranto and lasts for three days from August 13th. It is held in memory of 800 martyrs who refused the Turkish demand to convert to Islam and were executed as a result, which took place in 1480. If you are booking your Puglia villa with pool in July, then on the 6th of the month you may want to visit the town to take part in the festivities. Lots of large wooden arches and other structures are built specially for the event, and the festival is awash with colour and lights. There is also a fantastic fireworks display to end off the events.
Apulia (Puglia in Italian) is sometimes referred to as "the heel of Italy", in reference to the country's boot-like shape.In July there's a typical music festival in Melpignano near Lecce where you hear the famous "Pizzica".
Visit the Gargano National Park and the Tremiti islands.If you are considering booking a Puglia villa with pool, the above festivals may make your holiday even more exciting. Try to book your trip at the same time as one of them if you can, and then you will be able to see another side to the region during your holiday.
