Classes: Morning mobility plus a stair burn, then evening core and yoga 

After a morning mobility class (because what’s an adventure without a little limbering up?), we’ll venture to Alberobello, home to the whimsical trulli—those quirky, conical-roofed houses that look like they popped straight out of a storybook. We’ll indulge in a wine tasting and lunch before heading to Ottolire Resort, where a mozzarella and burrata-making demonstration will prove that life is better with cheese. Dinner that evening will be another chapter in our culinary adventure.

Classes: Morning core and intervals, and then evening seaside yoga flow 

Today is all about sun, sea, and sweat. We’ll kick things off with a core and intervals class, then spend the day at a private beach club where the Adriatic Sea beckons, and the only thing you’ll be lifting is a cocktail. Whether swimming in its crystal-clear waters or simply lounging under the sun, this is a day to soak in the serene beauty of Puglia’s coastline. A seafood lunch by the beach will only add to the bliss. The afternoon will take you to Locorotondo, a town so picturesque you might wonder if you’ve stepped into a living postcard. With the evening free, you’re invited to explore on your own—or simply enjoy la dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing)

Class: Functional fitness with bands

After a functional fitness class using resistance bands (perfect for those muscles you’ve been toning), we’ll transfer to the Salento region, where Le Capase Hotel offers stunning views that might make you forget all about Wi-Fi. A visit to a local masseria—a traditional farmhouse—will give you a taste of Puglia’s agricultural roots, with a leisurely lunch that brings farm-to-table dining to life. The afternoon is yours to relax, explore, or let the day drift by. Dinner at the hotel will round off this day of quiet pleasures.

Class: Lengthen and strengthen

No dolce avventura is complete without a bit of adventure, and today, you’ll get your fill. Start the day with a “lengthen and strengthen” class, which is the perfect preparation for the coastal hike ahead. As you walk along the Adriatic coastline, every view is more breathtaking than the last. A picnic lunch by the sea will fuel you for the afternoon’s highlight—a hands-on cooking lesson where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Pugliese dishes. By the end of the day, you’ll have a new appreciation for the art of Italian cooking and the joys of a well-earned meal.

Class: Hiking warm-up

The grand finale is a day on the Adriatic that promises to be as sweet as it is spectacular. After a gentle hiking warm-up, you’ll board a private boat for a tour of the coastline that will have you questioning why you have ever vacationed anywhere else. Swim in secluded coves, explore coastal trails, and enjoy a lunch with a view that’s nothing short of postcard-perfect. As the sun sets, we’ll gather for a closing dinner with live music and dancing—a joyful celebration of new friends, new experiences, and the sweet adventure that brought us all together.

As your dolce avventura comes to an end, enjoy a leisurely morning before transferring to Lecce’s central train station. Though this chapter may be closing, the memories of your sweet adventure in Puglia will linger long after you’ve returned home.
