THE SHARED AREA: The swimming pool and the "ULIVETO DELLE TILLANDSIE" = olive grove of Tillandsia.
Guests can use the swimming pool and the adjacent “Uliveto delle Tillandsie” in a shared and non-exclusive manner. This shared garden area includes:
• a swimming pool measuring 10 x 5 metres, 135 centimetres deep. A Roman staircase allows entry to the pool, while, on the south side, the infinity waterfall guarantees clean water.
Inside the pool there are two different hydromassage areas: the first is a large seat for legs and back; the second is a vertical plate - “acquabubble”.
The water is sanitised using a latest-generation electrolysis system, that allows natural disinfection, and a crystal-clear and environmentally friendly water. Greater perception of wellness: the water is more delicate on the skin, eyes and hair, compared to a swimming pool managed with classic chemical products.
• a large solarium, equipped with a cold and hot water shower (in cooler periods), reclining canopy beds, tables and reclining deck chairs with small tables. Plants and flowers surrounds the pool area.
• a large green lawn, shaded by olive trees and other trees typical of the Mediterranean area. The name of the garden comes from the plant with colorful fuchsia flowers that lives in symbiosis with the olive tree, called Tillandsia Aeranthos.
• a picturesque Koi carp pond, also inhabited by the turtle "Guendalina". Green leafy plants and a majestic wisteria complete this oriental setting.
• a small botanical path. Beyond the pond, there is a secluded section of the garden with plants from all over the world. In this cool and shaded area there is a bistro table and chairs, a swing and a tuff fountain.
• themed flower beds of acidophilic plants, roses, irises, bulbs.
