THINGS TO DO ...:
Work in progress for our swimming pool!!! Just a few months and you could enjoy a cooling panoramic swimming pool at your private disposal, in a wonderful secluded spot, enveloped by scent of lavender, broom and herbs, caressed by the afternoon breeze while in the distance a red-headed woodpecker builds his nest: an intense emotion for all senses! In the meantime when you’ve seen the sights you can leave the “madding crowds” behind and return to the peace of Montemiliano for relaxing walks strolling along the numerous pathways which start from our olive grove. Or you can simply relax in Montemiliano’ swimming pool (14x6m in a very panoramic position) and enjoy the warm colours of the surrounding countryside. And If you still need more relaxation, thermal baths and a beauty farm are within just a 1/2 hour drive.
