Swimmingpool
At the very top of the hill is the wonderful sunny terrace with a swimming pool (14m x 6m), deck chairs, and large umbrellas. The perfect place for relaxing, cheerful hours and recreation. The swimming pool with very good water quality is cleaned for you every morning and is equipped with comfortable long-chairs.
The swimming pool is open from May until October, from 9 am till 7 pm.
Thanks to the new pool cover system (2014) used at night, the water reaches agreeable temperatures even during cooler days in spring and autumn.
We are proud to inform you that we use an eco-friendly water purification thanks to Alligator Systems (installed summer 2016). This new system uses water ionisation techniques and reduces the need for chemical use by up to 80%. It is perfect for children and allergy sufferers and produces crystal clear water.Der Swimming Pool ist von Mai bis Oktober geöffnet. Badeplatz und Wasser werden täglich mit einem zusätzlichen Ionisator gereinigt und laufend von der Behörde kontrolliert. Nachts und bei schlechtem, kühlem Wetter sorgt eine Abdeckplane dafür, dass das Wasser nicht so stark auskühlt.
Tennis
The tennis court is free for use for our guests. The court with a synthetic court is within the Castle grounds and is popular in the cooler morning and late afternoon hours. During your stay, it is possible to obtain private tennis lessons by our professional teacher Mr. Tommaso Lupo.
Foot- and volleyball / Bocce game
For the football-loving boys there is a small football field in the western part of the area which can also be used for volleyball. Thanks to the lighting, you can stay here late at night and enjoy playing. Likewise, guests can enjoy another traditional "ball game": the bocce game is very popular for young and old.
