Pools & garden

Water, granite and scrub

Two pools carved into the rock, a garden of more than a hectare inside an ancient Roman quarry, terraces suspended above the gulf.

The pools

Two pools, two moods

Open from 1 June to 30 September, both are freshwater pools, fully renovated with new filtration systems; the pool attendant cleans them carefully every day and checks the pH.

The pool area has parasols, certified sunloungers and Gabel towels for fourteen, a large granite table for eight with granite and wooden benches, deckchairs, outdoor showers and a handy barbecue for unforgettable lunches and dinners, all set in a lush garden.

The garden

An ancient Roman quarry

More than a hectare of garden following the natural lie of the land, its levels linked by little stairways and steps set in greenery. The park is an ancient Roman quarry, yet far more than rock: lush vegetation typical of unspoilt nature thrives here.

Paths wind among ancient wild olives, strawberry trees, junipers, holm oaks, olive trees, myrtle, rosemary, jasmine, bougainvillea and oleanders of every colour, and giant Mexican agaves, all watered every night. Besides the barbecue area, the garden has a wood-fired oven for pizza and more.

The terraces

Granite, worked by hand

In 1960 the quarry’s gigantic granite boulder was split with explosives to build the main house. The same granite, hand-worked by stonemasons, now clads the seafront façade, and the terraces and paths are laid by hand in granite setts.

The seafront terrace, with its granite table for eight, looks out as far as Mortorio and Cala di Volpe; next to it, a large terrace shaded by ancient wild olives, with white armchairs and a barbecue nearby. And when the mistral blows, the patio lets up to fourteen people lunch and dine in shelter.

By night

Lights among the rocks

The pools and the garden are lit at night, bringing out every corner of the property: the perfect setting for dinners and parties.

The rocks

Sculptures of the wind

Fantastic, surreal rocks shaped over the centuries by rain and by the sea winds that blow fiercely here: forms of animals, fish, ducks, dogs, natural slides, caves and grottoes for souvenir photos. A paradise for children.

A magical natural setting that has been chosen for films, weddings, advertising, events and cultural exhibitions.
