Setting

La Palombara is a complex located in a marvellous corner of the Castro Marina coast, which in the last years has been awarded several times with the Blue Flag. The Zinzulusa grotto is easily reachable and the location is few kilometres far from the thermal baths of Santa Cesarea and the naturalistic park called ''Costa Otranto-Santa Maria di Leuca-Bosco di Tricase''.

Caroli hotels group introduces a new destination to your customised, unique and unrepeatable holiday. The complex is characterized by villas and trulli (houses built with limestone boulders) surrounded by olive trees, plunged in the scented Mediterranean scrub and suspended between the sea and the sky.

Activities and attractions

A concierge will make your stay more comfortable planning your day by means of a customized service, such as personalised boat tours that include a moment dedicated to the tasting of the traditional “frisella” (durum wheat bread served with tomatoes, olive oil and oregano) or guided tours aimed at discovering the secrets of Minerva’s temple, starting from the visit of the town archaeological museum where the bust of Athena is displayed.

Other concierge’s tasks are the organization of romantic parties with piano background music and snacks served at the complex private bay or in-room restaurant service.

Pool

Two minutes far from La Palombara and nestled in the stunning rocky scenery of the Zinzulusa grotto, there is a public sea water pool where the water gets continuously replaced by the action of the waves and tides. The pool takes its name from the nearby grotto and it is opened from June to September. This is the ideal place for all the children and families that want to spend a day at the pool but without sacrificing the pleasures of the sea. It is easily reachable through a direct staircase that leads to the waters of the Castro Marina Sea, which has been awarded in the last years with the Blue Flag.

Beach

The bluish green sea, perceived from its iodized breeze, is reachable from two staircases that descend the cliffs and end in a private bay where guests can dive in these fluctuating and luminescent waters. The direct access to the sea is made possible thanks to a stepladder. Deckchairs, sun beds, towels and umbrellas are at guests’ disposal for a perfect relax. A boat is bookable for trips along the coast or fishing trips discovering one of the most flourish Adriatic Sea bottoms, well-known for the exquisite lobsters.
