Toast to the beauty of Puglia after you arrive with a cold glass of champagne at the Masseria Calderisi, a 17-th century farm that’s been reimagined as a luxury boutique hotel. Surrounded by acres of olive groves, citrus and almond trees, we’ll spend four nights soaking in rest, relaxation and adventure.
From there we’ll travel by private charter to Lecce, where we’ll spend two nights at the Palazzo Maresgallo, a 16th-century palace situated in the heart of Lecce’s historic center. Known for its breathtaking art and architecture, you’ll relax in an exquisite suite room, each unique with its own décor and story.
The goal of the Ultimate Girls Trip: Italy is to take you away from your regular routine, in the name of experiencing the ultimate in rest, relaxation, restoration and fun. Stick with the itinerary point by point, or take the morning on your own to relax at the hotel spa and explore the grounds. The only goal of this trip is to reconnect with your best friend, and with yourself.
We hope you’ll bring your bestie along for the adventure, but we love solo travelers, too! This trip was crafted to provide both adventure and relaxation, because we know that as a busy woman, you rarely make time for yourself. Reconnect with yourself, your bestie, and other women who are in the same stage of life as you.
We’ve worked with a travel agent who’s an expert in local experiences. On this trip you’ll get a taste of authentic Italy—both literally and figuratively. From dining with a chef and sommelier in their own private home to a sound bath in the olive groves, every experience will offer you a taste of la dolce vita.

Hi! I’m Sonni, the founder of We Gotta Talk, a journalist, natural oversharer and wife/mom of three. But for the purposes of this trip, I’m also a proud Italian-American who’s all about discovering more about the beautiful country of Italy. I believe that a whole lot of the world’s problems can be solved with a great meal (preferably of pasta), paired with great conversation. I hope you’ll bring your bestie along for this trip of a lifetime, and find all the relaxation and restoration you need to refill your cup.
