Why Spring in Puglia Feels Like a Private Luxury Escape
Puglia in spring is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets (among many, to be fair!). The olive groves bloom, the air is crisp, and the countryside glows in green and gold.
Silvia and I have lived in the UK, so we know what green looks like — and believe me, Puglia’s green during spring is incredible.
Unlike summer, when the region is full of travelers (and is hot as hell...), spring offers something truly rare: space, calm, and understated elegance.
It's also the moment when luxury becomes more personal—and often, more attainable. Think of it as the season where authenticity meets comfort, and the pace of life slows down just enough to let you enjoy every detail.
Mild Weather, Clear Skies & Nature in Bloom
Forget the cold, grey skies of Northern Europe. In Puglia, March to May brings bright sunshine, 18–25°C days, and fragrant breezes. Perfect for long outdoor lunches, coastal walks, and countryside adventures.
In spring, you’ll find:
Almond and cherry blossoms lining the roads. Not quite Japan’s sakura season, but honestly… it comes close.
Vineyards and olive groves slowly waking up, with farmers in the fields preparing for harvest season.
Quiet, peaceful beaches with soft spring light—and my father-in-law often swimming already. Yes, you can swim in spring in Puglia (especially if you’ve braved the North Sea before).
Clean sea air, blue skies, and lush Mediterranean landscapes. My father often takes slow walks among centuries-old olive trees—a simple ritual that clears the mind and feeds the soul.
Luxury here isn't just where you stay—it's the silence, the light, and the rhythm of life.
Spring Flavours: Where Culinary Luxury Begins
Spring brings the best of Puglian produce to the table—without summer prices or tourist-packed restaurants.
Whether dining out or hosting a private chef in your villa, spring cuisine is all about seasonality and simplicity:
Fava beans & wild chicory
Fresh artichokes and spring zucchini
New-season extra virgin olive oil
Burrata, pecorino, and fresh ricotta (yes, the spring version tastes different—it’s the grass!)
Local rosé and white wines from Valle d'Itria — especially perfect for aperitivo.
Pair this with an in-villa cooking class or dinner under the pergola at Borgomadre, and you’ll discover why we call it:“Refined comfort at its most natural.”
Why Spring is the Best Time to Stay at Borgomadre
Spring transforms our villas into a private retreat surrounded by beauty, stillness, and nature in bloom:

Fragrant gardens bursting with basil, thyme, rosemary, and lavender — yes, you can pick and cook with them!
Private terraces perfect for morning coffee or evening aperitivo under the sun
