Travel

Flying to Puglia

Brindisi Airport (BDS)
57kms – 38mins from Masseria Don Luigi

Bari Airport (BRI)
77kms – 55mins from Masseria Don Luigi

We recommend arriving through one of these two airports for the most seamless journey to the area of the venue.

Airport to Venue

The easiest way to explore is by renting a car as taxi services are limited in the area and Uber only recently became available (still not popular). If you don’t wish to rent a car and are in need of a private transfer from the airport, please contact our concierge team to receive a quote.

Rsvp

Please let us know if you can join us on our special day and provide us with any information on how we, alongside our team, can best take care of you during your stay before 18th March 2026.

As a reminder, While we love your little ones, we’ve decided to keep our wedding an adults-only event with the exception of newborn babies. We hope you enjoy a couple nights off to celebrate with us!

Explore Puglia

Puglia invites you to wander. From white-washed towns to coastal views and centuries-old streets, the region offers countless moments of beauty just beyond the villa. We have highlighted a few iconic places to inspire your explorations while you are here.

Polignano a Mare
Polignano a Mare rises dramatically above the Adriatic on limestone cliffs. Its whitewashed streets, sea views and lively piazzas make it one of Puglia’s most unforgettable coastal towns.

Monopoli
Monopoli blends medieval history with seaside life. From its old town and coastal walks to lively evenings by the sea, it captures Puglia’s timeless yet vibrant spirit.

Alberobello
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Alberobello is known for its iconi trulli with conical stone roods. Wander its narrow lanes filled with shops, trattorie and everyday local life.

Ostuni
Known as “La Citta Bianca”, Ostuni rises on a hilltop of whitewashed streets and sunlit alleys. With boutiques, bars and evening charm, getting lost here is part of the experience.

Beyond sightseeing, Puglia offers an array of memorable experiences. From restaurants and beach clubs to public beaches and curated activities such as hands-on cooking classes, wine and olive oil tastings, sailing along the Adriatic coast and vintage car drives through olive groves and hidden villages, there is much to discover.

An overview of available experiences can be found in the PDF below. For menus, itineraries, availability, and pricing, our concierge team is happy to assist with any questions or arrangements.

FAQs

We recommend booking as soon as possible to ensure the best availability and pricing as July is peak season in Puglia. Please see the “Travel” section on the website for further information.

The weather in Puglia in July is hot and sunny, with long daylight hours and minimal rainfall. It’s the height of summer, with an average high temperature of 31°C. Evenings remain warm and pleasant, and the sea temperature hovers around 25°C, perfect for swimming and relaxing by the coast.

Let us know if you can make it by 18th March 2026.

Please indicate it on the RSVP form on this website.

Please reach out to concierge@ottoneweddings.com, they’ll be more than happy to support you every step of the way.

Just a little reminder ❤

please complete your RSVP if you haven’t already. It really helps us with planning.
Also a quick reminder to book your accommodations. If you’ve already booked, amazing! If not, please note that our room blocks will be released back to the public on March 7th or 15th.
The accommodations we selected will also be the shuttle pick-up points for both the Welcome Night and the Wedding Day, so booking within the room block guarantees your spot on the shuttle.

We also have a small dress code update for the ceremony. Since we’ll be getting married in a church, shoulders need to be covered, so we recommend bringing a cardigan or shawl.

If you have any questions, our concierge team is always happy to help at concierge@ottoneweddings.com

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Travel Requirements

For our guests outside the EU, please double check that your passport is valid for at least six months after your intended return date. This is a common requirement for travellers entering the European Union, including Italy.

ETIAS

You may have heard about a new travel requirement called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System), which will eventually apply to U.S. citizens visiting many European countries, including Italy. While ETIAS has not yet launched, the European Union is currently planning to roll it out sometime in 2026. Weu00a0 recommend keeping an eye on updates for the launch date. Once ETIAS is live, travelers will be asked to complete a quick application online and pay a small fee (around u20ac7). Most applications are expected to be approved within minutes. Weu2019ll update this page if the timeline changes or if anything becomes relevant for June travel. In the meantime, you can check for the latest updates on the official ETIAS website.
