Digital Nomad Guide: Puglia

Puglia sits seventh in size among Italy’s regions, following more sprawling areas like Sicily, Piemonte, Sardinia, Lombardia, Toscana, and Emilia-Romagna[1]. Yet, it feels truly vast thanks to its incredible diversity and the rich character of its many provinces—Bari, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce, and Taranto—each offering a unique vibe and experience for digital nomads. For remote workers, Puglia stands out for its relaxed pace, affordability, and sun-soaked scenery. You’ll find a vibrant digital nomad community clustered throughout the region, from lively Lecce with its baroque charm and cafe culture, to the coastal city of Brindisi and the expat-friendly hub of Bari. If you’re craving Mediterranean beauty with a strong Wi-Fi signal, Puglia’s got you covered with a growing network of coworking spaces and plenty of welcoming locals. Because Puglia stretches long and narrow along the Adriatic, the best way to make the most of your stay is to travel through the region. While public transport connects major cities (Bari, Brindisi, Lecce, and Foggia) efficiently by train, you’ll have more freedom to explore off-the-path gems—like picturesque villages in the Valle d’Itria or hidden beaches—if you rent a car or hire a driver. Start your adventure in Gargano, the lush promontory in the north near Foggia, then meander southeast to discover the whitewashed towns, cliffside coasts, and olive groves that make working here feel like a retreat and an adventure rolled into one. With its accessible infrastructure, friendly community, and blend of work-life balance, Puglia is a compelling base for any digital nomad ready to swap city hustle for Italian dolce vita.
