Dining and Seating Area

Through to the Bedrooms

Finding places on Puglia's, narrow, winding roads can be difficult - especially so when its dark and you are tired after a long journey. 'No problemo' with The Olive Grove, as the drive joins the totally straight Appian Way North-South. In fact almost the entire quick run from Brindisi Airport is on 2 segments of the ancient Via Appia. We are centrally placed, so you have access to both the Adriatic to the East and Med (Ionian) seas to the West. As you can easily see in both directions from our location, you don't need to gamble on the best coastline for weather. Take a pleasant drive down to the historic city of Lecce and further onto the Cape, explore the interior of Southern Italy, Basilicata etc, or travel north a short way to the World Heritage Site and trulli country of Alberobello, the hilltop town of Ostuni, or simply laze in the San Vito sunshine.

Amenities/Facilities provided

 

Outside
The newly constructed half-Olympic length swimming pool (fitting-out completion end-June 2008) is believed to be the most luxurious private swimming pool in the province, if not in the whole of the Salento peninsula.

The "infinity pool" format makes is somewhat easier for adults to watch over children in the main pool - guests must of course ensure that a capable adult is present at all times.

There is also a large walled-off barbecue and family eating area immediately outside Coratina's main entrance, together with a private garden area with fruit trees on the other side of the main drive. It is not unusual to find the Italian gardener (non-English speaking) supplementing your larder with gifts of fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden.

Coast/Beach
We are centrally placed, so you have access to both the Adriatic to the East and Med (Ionian) seas to the West. The nearest Adriatic beaches are only about 6Km outside of San Vito. The Ionian Sea is only 30-40 minutes drive.
As you can easily see in both directions from our location, you don't need to gamble on the best coastline for weather.

Brindisi Airport is the nearest - about 20 minutes drive (20 Km)
Bari Airport is about 100 Km away - just over an hour's drive
The new Taranto airport is an easy drive of around 30 minutes.
For more ambitious tourers, from the port of Brindisi you can take a ferry to Greece or The Balkans. Alternatively take the autostrada to Sicily, the Amalfi coast, Naples, or Rome - all within easy reach. We'll welcome you back with a glass (or three) of one of the 'trulli' excellent local wines.

The nearest towns are San Vito Dei Normanni - just 2km up the road. To the south there is Mesagne, with it's charming "Centro Storico", Ostuni, "La Citta Bianca" is 14km to the North - the list is endless.
A car is essential, unless you intend to spend your entire time "chilling out" in the gardens.
