Escape to the Joy of the Apulian Countryside: Your Private Family Retreat in Polignano a Mare

Eingebettet zwischen Olivenbäumen und im goldenen Licht des Südens erstrahlend, lädt The Olive Retreat zu einer entspannten Atmosphäre ein – mit großzügigen Innenräumen, einem privaten Pool (70 m²), Tennisplatz, Tischtennis und Spielbereichen für Kinder.

Nur wenige Minuten vom Zentrum von Castellana Grotte und den Stränden von Polignano a Mare entfernt, beschreiben Gäste die Villa als „ein wunderbares Haus, liebevoll gepflegt und mit allem Komfort ausgestattet, mit vielen Aktivitäten für die ganze Familie – alles, was man für einen wirklich unvergesslichen Urlaub braucht.“ Sie bietet ein ganzheitliches Erlebnis aus Entspannung, Sport und Geselligkeit.

Die Raumaufteilung fördert sowohl Geselligkeit als auch Privatsphäre: Zwischen einem Sprung in den Pool, einem Tennismatch oder einem Abendessen unter Olivenbäumen teilen Familien und Freunde Tage voller Sonne, Lachen und Leichtigkeit. Auch Kinder und Jugendliche finden hier ihren Lieblingsort – zwischen Sonne, Sport und Spaß .

In ländlicher Lage, nur wenige Minuten von den Einrichtungen in Castellana und Triggianello entfernt, ist The Olive Retreat ideal, um Apulien im Freien zu erleben. Die Schönheiten des Valle d’Itria, Alberobello und Monopoli sind leicht erreichbar, während eine nahegelegene Fahrradroute das Erkunden der Umgebung erleichtert.
