🇮🇹 Italy isn’t just beautiful—it’s liveable, practical, and full of opportunity for future expats.
The southern region of Puglia offers something most people overlook: historic cities and coastal towns with real character, real affordability, and real potential to build a slower, more intentional life.
Residency is accessible if you’re self-sufficient or retiring. And the lifestyle? Think walkable towns, fresh food, sea breezes, and a daily pace that invites you to enjoy life—not just push through it.
This 7-day tour brings you through five towns that show you what life in southern Italy actually looks and feels like.
If you’ve been dreaming of living in Italy—but want clarity, not just romance—this is where it starts to feel real.
What You’ll Experience
This tour is designed to help you test-drive life here—not as a tourist, but as a future resident.
You’ll walk the streets, talk to locals, view real homes, compare neighborhoods, and get an inside look at the things that matter: transportation, healthcare, costs, and community.
You’ll explore a mix of coastal cities, hilltop towns, and historic neighborhoods that could shape your next chapter.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy a traditional Italian cooking class and two surprise cultural experiences—designed to deepen your connection to the rhythm and pride of daily life in Puglia.
By the time you leave, you won’t just be inspired—you’ll know whether Italy is truly a fit.
