Unforgettable Locorotondo - Experience the City’s Magic with Guided Tours
Nestled in the heart of Italy's picturesque Puglia region, Locorotondo is a charming town that often flies under the radar of most tourists. But those who venture here are rewarded with a magical experience that feels like stepping into a fairytale. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about sharing the beauty and rich history of this enchanting destination with visitors from around the world.
The Circular Wonder
Locorotondo, which literally means "round place," lives up to its name with its circular layout. As you wander through the narrow, winding streets with our expert guides, you'll feel as if you've been transported back in time. The town's pristine white-washed buildings, adorned with colorful flower boxes, create a mesmerizing contrast against the clear blue sky. It's no wonder Locorotondo is considered one of the "Borghi più belli d'Italia" (most beautiful villages in Italy).
A Journey Through Time and Taste
Our guided tours take you on a journey through Locorotondo's rich history and culinary traditions. Here are some of the highlights you can expect:
- Chiesa Madre San Giorgio: This stunning 19th-century church dominates the town's skyline with its impressive Neoclassical façade. Our guides will share fascinating stories about its construction and the beautiful artworks inside.
- Torre dell'Orologio: The iconic clock tower stands as a symbol of Locorotondo's past. We'll take you up close to admire its intricate details and learn about its significance to the town's residents.
- Trulli Houses: While Alberobello might be more famous for these unique cone-shaped buildings, Locorotondo has its own charming collection. Our tours include visits to these architectural marvels, where you'll learn about their history and construction techniques.
- Wine Tasting: Locorotondo is renowned for its crisp white wines. We've partnered with local wineries to offer exclusive tastings where you can savor the flavors of the region while learning about traditional winemaking methods.
Beyond the Town Walls
While Locorotondo itself is a treasure, the surrounding countryside is equally captivating. Our extended tours venture into the Valle d'Itria, where rolling hills covered in olive groves and vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. You'll have the opportunity to visit local farms, where you can try your hand at cheese-making or olive oil tasting.
One of our guests' favorite stops is a visit to a family-run masseria (traditional Puglian farmhouse). Here, you'll experience the warmth of Italian hospitality firsthand as you enjoy a home-cooked meal made with ingredients fresh from the farm.
