Castellana Grotte Apartments & Villas (Apulia)

In the Apulia region, Castellana stands at the limits of an extended, depressed land area. Before entering the town (arriving from Conversano) there are signs to the Grottoes, which have made Castellana internationally famous.

We owe the discovery of the grottoes to the speleologist, Franco Anelli, who climbed into the Castellana "Grave" on 23rd January, 1938. He demostrated that it was not a bottomless, snare-ridden abyss (as a legend had it), but the entrance to an unspoilt route winding between calcareus concretion of rare beauty. The explorations took place with the collaboration of Vito Matarrese and Domenico Magistro, youthful volunteers from Castellana. Hence the first tourist route was set up, and now corresponds to about three Kilometers.

You can choose from a variety of self catering Apulia apartments or Apulia villas in this southern region of Italy.
