A swim amongst olives and almonds

10 Guests

5 Bedrooms

3 Bathrooms

With its far-reaching views across gently undulating countryside, a garden of whispering olive trees, Zen-inspired interiors and a pulse-slowing infinity pool, Montaltini invites repose. After a couple of days of resting, however, you might like to take advantage of the property's strategic location and explore the area, from the beaches and towns of the Adriatic coast to the manifold charms of the Valle d'Itria.

The Area

Montaltini sits between the small towns of Castellana Grotte - renowned for its stunning cave complex - and Conversano. A short drive east will take you to the Adriatic coast and the gorgeous towns of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. Both have lovely old town centres and the former is famous for its little beach, carved out from the surrounding cliffs. Monopoli has a lovely street market and some fine historical buildings. The underground complex of nearby Castellana Grotte comprises over 3km of subterranean paths, cathedral-high caves, stalactites and much more, all running about 60m below ground. A short drive inland will take you to the gentle hills of the Valle d'Itria, where you might visit the beautiful towns of Alberobello (a UNESCO Heritage Site thanks to its wonderful trulli-laden centre), Cisternino and, further south, the white city of Ostuni. All offer plenty to see, regular markets, as well as a good selection of bars, shops, restaurants and trattorie. World class sites a little further afield include the stunning baroque centre of Lecce. For golf enthusiasts, Montalitini is only 30km from an 18-hole golf course near Savelletri.
