What to visit in the Territory

A TERRITORY TO DISCOVER

Its characteristic location makes the hotel ideal for both business travelers and those who want to spend a relaxing holiday by the sea.

Beaches and Cliffs

The Crescent

The Spiaggia della Mezzaluna owes its name to the particular shape of the beach. Particularly suitable for children being characterized by a shallow and sandy bottom

The Gorge

It is a very characteristic place because it is characterized by very high and steep cliffs. The sea is an emerald green that fades into an intense blue going out to sea. Due to its shape, it is not recommended for children, although it is particularly appreciated by adults and those who do not like sand or the chaos of beaches.

The Rock of the Horse

Proceeding along the coast to the south, right at the entrance to Santa Sabina, we come across the small beach of Scoglio del Cavallo which owes its name to the presence of a small rocky island located immediately in front of the beach in the shape of a horse .

Grotta del Moro

A few meters from the hotel you can visit the Grotta del Moro. A small blue cave located along the coast of Torre Santa Sabina.

Reserves and Nature

Torre Guaceto Marine Protected Area

The Torre Guaceto Marine Nature Reserve is a protected marine area a few kilometers from the center of Carovigno. The Carovigno coasts of the reserve and the beaches of Torre Guaceto were awarded the Blue Flag in 2007, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In some beaches there is a ban on bathing as the protected area also includes a reserve marina of particular importance.

Castellana Caves

About 40 minutes by car from the hotel you can visit the Grotte di Castellana. They are considered the most important speleological complex in Italy and in Europe, and are the result of the erosive action of an ancient underground river, which has shaped the limestone rock Advice: The temperature inside the Grotte di Castellana is cool so it is advisable to bring a sweater and generally comfortable clothing. In the nocturnal visit, visitors are guided by the guides of the Puglia Grotte group equipped with helmets, canisters and acetylene lighting: this serves to show the colours, sensations and emotions experienced by the first explorers along the walk.
