If you fancy being all alone in Apulia, then one of the best places to do it is at Pozzo Orefice, 10 minutes’ drive from Lucera. The only tent pitch on this microsite is tucked into lush greenery and partially shaded by palms, olive groves and fruit trees in a large garden surrounded by mature hedges.
But the pitch isn’t this place’s only attraction, for steps away is a flower-festooned two-storey villa complete with a fridge in the kitchen, a living room with TV and sofas, and a bathroom, all of which are available for your personal use. And just as an added bonus, there are views over Lucera’s landmark Fortezza Svevo-Angioina from the large shaded terrace – just the spot for a chilled glass of wine at sundown.
If you’d like to have a closer look at the castle, you can borrow bikes on site and pedal up there; there are countless walks and bike rides from the site that take you through local olive groves and vineyards too.

Local attractions
However you get there, the Fortezza Svevo-Angioina (10 minutes’ drive/15 minutes by bike) is pretty impressive. Built by Frederick II of Swabia in the 13th century, it’s open for potters around its ramparts, towers and courtyards. However, Lucera is not a one-trick pony; this medieval hilltop town also has a cathedral, ancient Roman amphitheatre and lots of café-lined piazzas to discover.
Another historic local spot is Foggia (an hour and 15 minutes’ drive), a gorgeous city crammed with cultural gems. Check out the cathedral for its blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, the neoclassical Teatro Giordano, and the host of museums and churches before taking a deep breath and a wander in sprawling Parco del Boschetto.
If you’d rather be out in spectacular nature, head for the Gargano National Park (45 minutes), where you can hike around hilly landscapes covered in olive groves and vineyards or follow trails through the protected Umbra Forest on mountain bikes.
