Castle Of Punta Ala

Description

Summary:
The castle with its imposing position on a hill above the marina of Punta Ala, was built in 1563 as a lookout tower to protect against attacks by the sea and converted in 1932 into a private residence of Italo Balbo.

It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and offers its guests complete privacy, a swimming pool with fantastic panoramic views of the sea and private access to the beach.
The castle of Punta Ala is bookable since 2019 for the first time for guests.
