Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is the stuff of kid-friendly dreams with a parental stamp of approval. Spend a morning admiring the unique truli-style homes and the afternoon splashing in the beautiful Adriatic coastal waters. Ride bikes from village to village; along the way, sample the best olive oil and freshly made pasta at the various farms that comprise this agricultural heart of Italy. A kid-friendly hotel should be the epicenter of a vacation to Puglia, and families can choose between a luxurious resort spread over a re-created Italian village or a more intimate beachfront property.
