Around Puglia
Puglia is a southern region forming the heel of Italy’s “boot,” and is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and hundreds of kilometres of Mediterranean coastline.
​
Diso is located in the south of Puglia, approximately a 10-minute drive from the sea. The town tells of its beauty in it's name which derives from 'desìo', that is, the desire to live there. Diso is home to 2,900 residents and has existed since the early 11th century.
If you’re planning additional travel around the wedding weekend, don’t hesitate to reach out to Anna or Braden for suggestions. We would love to share our favourite recommendations and hear about your travel plans!
Villa Diso
There are a number of different routes to the Villa. Below you will find our suggestions on airports and places to stay along the way. Diso is a small village, everything in town is within a five minute walk. We are so excited for our loved ones to bump into each other throughout the weekend (plus, this means more prosseco and less driving!).
