There are some hidden gems along the South Italy's countryside. Many lovely places in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea gives the opportunity to enjoy a slower pace of life.
The property were I have been staying since 29th of July is located between two small cities, Alberobello and Castellana Grotte. Many old typical farmers's buildings, which are still in this corner of South Italy, can be enjoyed by tourists who came mainly from France and Germany.
"Trullo", That's the Italian name of these traditional dry stone huts.
There are many chacteristic narrow alleys to be walked.
I also enjoyed old big cobblestones along those alleys, where I haven't heard any noise and haven't seen any car.
Glad to see that people who live in this beautiful corner of South Italy are aware about the importance of renewable energy. They have installed photovoltaic and solar panels close to their old buildings. Obviously, panels have to be hidden from the view.
Have a nice month of August ☀️🍅🍑🍇
Belle foto,grazie per avermi fatto conoscere un pezzo d'Italia che non conosco!Buon agosto.
ReplyDeleteIt's a peaceful corner of our peninsula.
DeleteHi Giorgio.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures :)
I'm wondering, how could I, in one sentence, describe these photos? I think: peace and harmony. Unfortunately, in the bigger ones (even I don't say big ones!) time runs frighteningly fast!
My friend, I salute you!
Exactly, my dear friend: peace and harmony! We sometimes need a slower pace of life.
DeleteEs un bello lugar, te mando un beso.

DeleteIt must be beautiful there. The pictures alone exude calm.

True! It's a peaceful place.
DeleteDal 1 agosto non riesco ad aprire YouTube. Tutti i video sono bloccati. Temo che anche Blogger possa essere bloccato in modo che i residenti in Russia non abbiano i propri blog.
ReplyDeleteI hope it will not happen. If Blogger were blocked in your country, you would contact me through email.
DeleteLet me know other information about this problem.
I've read on the Internet that it was just a system glitch. But YouTube hasn't been working for 4 days, videos don't open.
DeleteOkay, Irina. That means it will be not blocked.
DeleteStaying between Alberobello and Castellana Grotte sounds amazing. Love the charming Trullo huts and peaceful alleys.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the locals embracing renewable energy while preserving the traditional look.
Thanks for sharing, and have a fantastic August, GIorgio!
Thank you, Veronica!
DeleteTe mando un beso y te deseo una genial semana.
ReplyDeleteSame to you :-)
DeleteLooks like a spot where we could all happily spend a week or two!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed that peaceful place. On the night foxes went to drink the water of the pool and in the afternoon swallows had a quick bath in the same place.
DeleteLove those dry stone huts. I like how they have preserved the place and made it tourist friendly.
ReplyDeleteActually, that corner of South Italy is ranked as one of the friendliest places to travellers.
DeleteThank you for sharing your point of view :-)
Buona domenica Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Olga, same to you :-)
