A road trip synonymous with freedom and adventure
With this offer from Transavia Holidays, head to the heel of the Italian boot! It’s the perfect opportunity to savor a region as generous as its inhabitants. As soon as you arrive in Bari, the dynamic capital of Apulia, a rental car (unlimited mileage, please!) awaits you to explore the beauties of the region at your own pace. No more scheduled excursions to the minute: here, it’s you who decides when to wander through medieval alleys, when to indulge in homemade orecchiette in front of a trattoria, and when to unleash your inner explorer on the Adriatic coast!
4-star accommodations to savor every step
The journey begins with 4 nights in the Conversano area, a charming village that blends authenticity and heritage. This stopover, at the crossroads of major sites, allows you to easily explore Alberobello and its famous trulli (UNESCO listed), Polignano a Mare, a true gem perched on cliffs, and Matera, a unique cave city. In the evening, enjoy the comfort of a 4-star hotel, with delicious breakfasts included for a great start each morning. After four intense days, head south: Lecce welcomes you for three nights in a new hotel, an ideal gateway to Salento and its endless beaches.
Awe-inspiring villages between the sea and centenary olive trees
Impossible to resist the allure of the white villages of Apulia: Ostuni, the white one, dominates a sea of olive trees and offers a magical panorama, while Alberobello enchants with its dry stone roofs worthy of a fairy tale. Continue towards Lecce, nicknamed the “Baroque Florence”, showcasing a thousand sculptures on its palaces. Lovers of the unusual will appreciate a pause in Matera: its Sassi, dwellings carved into the rock, seem to have sprung from a film. Between stops, a visit to Conversano is a must with its lively terraces, medieval castle, and the promise of a complimentary aperitif-lunch, all in a traditional trullo for a culinary immersion!
Magical landscapes and breathtaking beaches
Ready for moments of relaxation? The Adriatic coast boasts its secret beaches and fishing villages: Polignano a Mare, with its houses suspended over blue waters, and Monopoli, an authentic and photogenic port. Further south, Salento reveals stretches of fine sand that compete with the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean. Between Porto Cesareo and Santa Maria di Leuca, swims and sunsets take on a whole different flavor… Don’t hesitate to venture off the beaten path to explore lesser-known spots, in search of your secret cove, just as one might wander off classic tours to discover a hidden valley in Dordogne or a secret village in Portugal.
A turnkey, flexible, and secure self-drive tour
The price of 670 € per person applies from Paris in the low season, but it is equally possible to depart from other major French or Belgian cities (variable rates: around 830 € from Nantes, 900 € from Lyon or Marseille). Payments are flexible with just 30% upon booking, so you don’t have to blow your vacation budget right from the start! For more peace of mind, a cancellation guarantee allows you to cancel without justification up to 15 days before departure with a refund as a credit. No more cold sweats reading the cancellation conditions: travel with a free spirit, much like a well-managed flight compensation.
Balanced stages tailored to your desires
Each day of the itinerary has been designed to combine discoveries, relaxation, and flexibility. Distances are reasonable (65 km to connect Bari and Matera, for example), allowing time to improvise according to the villages passed through or to enjoy a cappuccino break on a terrace. The last three nights around Lecce open wide the doors to Salento, between perched villages, medieval frescoes in Galatina, and swims in translucent waters in Otranto. Take the time to stroll through the towns, explore original curiosities such as the historical Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, or embark on a cruise between Normandy and Italy to extend your getaway.
Conditions, prices, and little extras not to miss
This all-inclusive stay brings together essential ingredients for an unforgettable escape: international round-trip flights, car rental (unlimited mileage and absolute free time), carefully selected 4-star accommodation, and delicious breakfasts every morning. The perfect balance between autonomy and serenity, even for the most demanding travelers. Prices are given as an indication and may vary according to availability and seasons, so it’s best not to delay booking to seize this great deal before it flies away to other horizons!
