Holiday apartment in Villa Castelli: Culture, Nature and Gravina

The Chiesa Matrice has a façade in the Apulian Romanesque style with a central rose window and two triforia. This profile is complemented by the Terra delle Gravine Regional Nature Park: Villa Castelli is the only municipality in the Province of Brindisi within this regional nature park. When choosing a holiday apartment in Villa Castelli, you can therefore take culture and nature into account together from the outset.
