Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With four self-contained homes, sleeping up to fourteen people, this is a great option for a group getaway or big family holiday. Spend your days sharing the sunny swimming pool or enjoying long lunches on the terrace, then retreat to your own space to relax and unwind. Each home has its own kitchen, living area, and patio, so there’s plenty of room to get comfy, and they all share similar rustic charm and antique furnishings. Location-wise, you’ll be on the outskirts of Castellana Grotte – a town with all the amenities you could need (shops, restaurants, a train station), along with a captivating cave system that’s open to visitors.
