Sherri has such a gift for creating trips that feel both incredibly special and completely effortless. Every detail was thoughtful without ever feeling overplanned, and there was such a perfect balance of beautiful places, amazing food, culture, adventure, and just having fun. From boating on the Adriatic and quading through the countryside to wandering through little towns and ending up dancing all night with people who felt like old friends, the entire week was unforgettable. My mom and I came home completely hooked and already wanting to know where Sherri is taking us next!

Under the Puglian Sun - An Unforgettable Experience!
Under the Puglian Sun — An Unforgettable Experience!
From the moment we arrived, Under the Puglian Sun was pure magic! Sheri created an extraordinary experience for her guests that was elegant, beautifully organized, and filled with warmth, joy, and authentic Italian charm.
Our stunning villa in Monopoli was the perfect setting, and the beautiful welcome evening of sunset cocktails, delicious regional specialties prepared by a chef, and a talented violinist set the tone for an unforgettable week.
Each day brought a new adventure exploring Puglia’s breathtaking villages, rich history, vibrant markets, and incredible food and wines. From the magical trulli of Alberobello to the jaw-dropping beauty of Matera, a wonderful boat excursion, shopping in many gorgeous villages and an unforgettable evening celebrating Puglian food, music, dancing, and traditions, every detail was thoughtfully planned. And the service at the villa and every step of the way was outstanding.
But what truly made this experience exceptional was Sheri and her wonderful family. Their genuine warmth, enthusiasm, and hospitality made us feel connected not only to Puglia but to one another. By the end of the week, we weren’t simply a group of travelers — we had become family.
Under the Puglian Sun is so much more than a vacation. It’s an authentic immersion into the beauty, culture, and heart of Puglia, filled with laughter, dancing, friendship, and precious fun memories we will treasure forever.
Spectacular in every way! Brava, Sheri!

Wonderful experience in Puglia…
Sheri made our experience in Puglia very unique. From picking the perfect villa, to making sure we saw every beautiful small town within one hour of our villa. And to top it off, Sheri put together an amazing evening festival that was beyond our expectations. I must also say that her assistant, Sal was an added bonus. He was always helpful and would do anything to make our experience even more spectacular.

A true joy! Italy is THE destination but choosing where to go/what to do can be overwhelming. Under the Puglian Sun took our Italy dream vacation and turned it into a reality. Sheri's attention to details, surprises, and hidden gems made us feel like locals. Highly recommend!! If you're thinking about going to Italy, join one of these one of a kind escapes !!!

My Trip To Puglia Was Magical…
My trip to Puglia was the most magical vacation I have been on! Sheri was incredible, making our trip filled with surprises, experiences, and delicious food. Our accommodations were luxurious and yet authentic. Sheri planned a fun, easy, and custom trip for my girlfriends and I. I am looking forward to going back with my husband and 2 other couples in 2027!

We had such a great week together! I’m so happy you and your girlfriends enjoyed Puglia as much as I love sharing it! And I have to thank you again for the tip about those laundry detergent sheets for traveling. I loved them and have since bought them myself! I’m already looking forward to having you back in 2027, this time with the husbands! It’s going to be so much fun making more memories together!

Puglia perfection
Sheri was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Every step of the way she gave wonderful suggestions and made planning a multigenerational girl trip as simple as possible.
The hotels, restaurants and activities were well suited for our group and gave us an authentic experience of the region
Our favorite was the truli we stayed in
The worst part of the trip was leaving
Thank you Sheri for giving us an exceptional experience as we created memories to last a lifetime

I’ve never had an experience like this
I’ve never had an experience like this. I can’t even call it a vacation. I was pampered, entertained and spoiled! I had time for site seeing and shopping, dining and dancing. I made new friends, saw beautiful cities, and experienced the culture of Puglia! All specially crafted and thoughtfully curated for me by Sheri. I don’t want to say it was once in a lifetime as I plan on signing up for another of her adventures soon. Treat yourself! You’ll never regret a moment of it!

Life changing
Life changing! I celebrated my 50th birthday in Puglia with my daughter, and it was truly magical. Sheri put so much thought into every detail, making the entire week feel personal and special. I’m so glad I joined this wonderful group of women who are now friends. We laughed, made unforgettable memories, and had the best time. Thank you, Sheri!
