Castellana Grotte: Holiday home bed & breakfast farm holiday in Castellana Grotte Puglia southern Italy

Castellana Grotte

Castellana stands at the limits of an extended, depressed land-mass. Castellana Grotte, as its name suggests, is known best for its caves that are regarded as the most magnificent in Italy: long galleries alternate with spectacular caves, and all of them filled with many forms of stalactite and stalagmite.

The visitable section of the caves covers about 3km through underground passages, corridors and caves with suggestive, emblematic names (the Black Grotto; Angel's Corridor; The Little Cavern of the Manger). The terminal point of the route is the spectacular White Cave, which is considered amongst the most beautiful stalactite cave in the world.

Although most people come to Castellana for the caves, the town, a couple of kilometers away, is well worth a visit on its own merits. It has a historic centre rich in palaces of the 18th century.
