Carovigno Vacation RentalLuxurious, eco friendly, XVIII century Retreat/Spa 'Villa Magnolia'.

ECO - Credentials: Eco-sustainability is at the heart of life at Villa Magnolia. Using sun and light, renewable energies, we believe that real eco-tourism should be based on the best available technology in order to cause as little disturbance to the environment as possible and help maintain our planets future. Villa Magnolia produces energy from Photo Voltaic’s fitted on the flat roof , the energy from these cells supports the operation of the Villa and excess supplying the national grid. The domestic hot water is generated from Solar Thermal Panels. Water is pumped from the artesian well (filled by rainwater) to supply the house and the beautiful Roman style salt water swimming pool and Spa in the ‘Temple’, an area for total relaxation. In the vegetable garden of Villa Magnolia only organic produce is grown, courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, table grapes, oranges and lemons etc… plus of course olive oil. The Lemons are used, among other things, to make Lemoncello.

Poolside: The swimming pool is but a few short steps from the Villa, entered through a stunning Bougainvillea and Jasmine covered colonnade, which in the evening is subtly lit adding to the general ambience. The Romanesque style pool is a generous 6’ x 14’ metres, lined in beautiful blue Italian mosaics. It is a salt water pool (rather than chlorine) so no more red eyes! For those who wish to use the Spa just walk up into the temple area and enjoy; it is here also that pre-booked massages take place. By keeping the numbers low, there is always plenty of room on the poolside to relax on the sun-loungers or enjoy a cool drink in the shade of the Olive tree.There is a bar to the side of the pool, where chilled drinks are stored.
