The landscape is typical of the area, particularly rich in nature and history. Dotted around the surrounding land are countless trulli as well as ancient farms called Masseria. It is home to dry, stone walls, olive groves, vineyards, and woods with old oaks. The nearby town of Ceglie is rich in history and culture. Its origins trace back 15 centuries B.C. and was originally part of Magna Grecia (Greater Greece). Puglia is considered one of the best places to eat in Italy by Italians, and Ceglie Messapica is considered one of the best places to eat in Puglia. There are many restaurants in Ceglie, ranging from simple trattoria to Michelin starred establishments. Many of them will offer some version of what is known as Cucina Povera, literally "poor cooking", derived from a time when the residents of this area of Italy had to make do with simple ingredients and transform them into something more. Less than half an hour away are the beaches of the Adriatic coast where there are many quiet coves with crystal clear water and long, sandy beaches backed by dunes. A little over half an hour on the other side of the peninsula are the stunning beaches of the Ionian coast where mile upon mile of white sandy beaches extends south to the tip of the heel of Italy.
