Largo Piscina della Terra, 17, Grumo Appula

The area is on the Murge plateau, with open agricultural land of olive groves, arable fields and low karst limestone relief. Alta Murgia National Park begins nearby to the south-west and west, with steppe-like pasture, sinkholes and rock outcrops typical of the interior around Altamura and Gravina. The Adriatic coast is not far away, but Palo del Colle is inland and not in a coastal setting. Bari is the nearest large city, with full services, rail links, port and airport. Bitonto nearby has a substantial historic centre and Romanesque cathedral. The wider area is known for olive oil, almonds and other dry-farmed produce of the Bari and Murgia hinterland.
