Dream

Our agency would like to recommend one of the most exclusive places to spend your holidays: the Riva Marina Village.

Set in about 40 hectares (100 acres) of parkland, the village is just 300 metres from the sea and a few kilometres from Ostuni, Alberobello, the Itria Valley, Castellana Grotte, the medieval castles of Carovigno, San Vito dei Normanni and Oria, and the WWF nature reserve of Torre Guaceto.

The coastline offers beaches of very fine sand and rocky shores ideal for spearfishing, with beach boats, pedal boats and canoes for hire.

The village offers many services, including a bar, pizzeria, grocery store, tobacconist, butcher's shop and a small open-air chapel, plus leisure facilities such as five-a-side football pitches, tennis courts, a bocce court and two open-air nightclubs.

Riva Marina is divided into two sections with about 800 masonry-built villas set in lush Mediterranean gardens, tastefully furnished, with ample parking for cars and motorbikes inside the village.

The villas (two-bedroom, one-bedroom, semi-detached and studios) sleep from 2 to 10 people, making them ideal for both families and couples.
