Villa a Polignano a Mare

The area is on the Adriatic limestone coast, with low cliffs and small coves around Polignano a Mare and Monopoli within about 15 km. The Lama Monachile inlet and the sea caves along the coast are the main local landscape feature. Inland, the terrain is a karst plateau of olive groves and dry-stone walls that leads toward the Valle d’Itria farther south. Monopoli is the nearest larger town in range and has a port and a substantial historic centre. Polignano a Mare is a well-known coastal town with a historic centre set on the cliff edge.
