TRAVEL & STAY
TRAVELING TO PUGLIA!
Puglia is located in the southern peninsula of Italy, and is commonly referred to as the “heel of Italy’s boot.”
There are two major airports that service Puglia: Bari and Brindisi. Both are international airports that connect to nearly every major city in Europe and the UK. In some instances, there are direct flights to either airport from the U.S., pending your location. Bari is about a 1-hour drive, and Brindisi is about 40-minutes to the Masseria Calderisi and surrounding hotels. You can fly into either airport.
If you’re already in Europe, Ryan Air has extremely low-cost flights between any European city and Bari or Brindisi. Other options include driving from Rome, or to take the train from Rome to Bari.
CARS & SHUTTLES:
Once you arrive in Bari or Brindisi, you will be able to rent a car at the airport or train station. However, pre-booking a car is a great idea to ensure availability. Renting a car is the best way to visit the region so you can move around at your leisure. That said, we will provide shuttles to/from events so a car is by no means necessary.
If you require private transfers from/to the airport, we recommend:

HOTELS IN PUGLIA!
We have booked out the Masseria Calderisi for our wedding weekend, and whether you are staying there or not, we want you to consider it your second home for the weekend. With only 24 rooms, space at the Masseria Calderisi is extremely limited, and priority has been given to the wedding party, and parents and siblings of the bride and groom. For alternative lodgings outside of the Masseria Calderisi, we have reserved a room block at Casale del Murgese, located about a half mile from Masseria Calderisi. For anyone looking for more amenities, we also recommend the Borgo Egnazia, located about 1.7 miles from the Masseria Calderisi. Shuttle service will be provided to all wedding events from both hotels. More information on hotels below.
MASSERIA CALDERISI
The wedding party, and parents and siblings of the bride and groom will be staying here. Those staying at the Masseria Calderisi will be receiving an email about their stay by March 2023.
