Carovigno holidays are hot property in southern Italy, with food, wine, olive oil and scenery all jostling for your attention.
Oil country
Carovigno's known for its high-quality olive oil. It's a smallish town perfect for just wandering around, or as a base for daytrips around Puglia. Spend a day at the Dentice di Frasso castle or the Chiesa Madre, and then try a trip to nearby Area Marina Protetta di Torre Guaceto – a national park with a beach.
Il Castello
This Medieval Norman castle's something else – towers, gates, those little nooks for shooting arrows – you get the stony picture. You'll need about two hours to wander the whole place and the grounds, so take the afternoon and go photo crazy.
Food, glorious food
When you've worked up an appetite exploring the castle, the town's got you covered. Great little bars and eateries serve up antipasti and vino rosso – try the figs stuffed with almonds. The town calendar's chock-a-block with religious festivals, so visit when one's in full swing to partake in the feasts.
