Selva di Fasano Holidays

Located on the hill with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside towards the sea, Selva di Fasano is a pleasant town, surrounded by woods and pristine nature. Known as the 'Italian balcony of the Orient', the town is dotted by famous 'Trulli' houses, a collection of characteristic old stone buildings.

Just outside the town, you can visit Zoo Safari Fasanolandia, Europe's largest wild animal park, whilst Selva di Fasano itself boasts a beautiful botanical garden, an oriental style villa and minaret constructed by a local artist as well as several restaurants and shops.

On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.

On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.
