This southern part of Italy has marvellous natural back- drops of limpid seas and inviolate woods, beneath peerless skies, harsh mountains and long coast lines, most of it largely untouched making it the perfect destination for a vacation. Maruggio is a small town in the district of Taranto. The province of Taranto is found in the Puglia region of Italy, which is the region that forms part of the heel of Italy’s boot. The weather is typically hot and dry. The beaches on the coast of the Ionian Sea offer plenty of places to sunbathe, swim, and snorkel. Maruggio also belongs to Salento, a region known for its superb climate with mild winters and very hot summers, excellent food and wine and vast cultural and historical heritage. This valley surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, lies in the plain along the north south direction. Apart forn its beautiful waters and quiet and sandy beaches the region has much interesting history and character in its villages with ‘trulli’ houses dating back to the middle ages and historical buildings in the Baroque and Rococo, Gothic and Romanasque style of architecture. darling Maruggio, Italy Location associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Location Apulia is a region in southeastern Italy bordering the Adriatic Sea in the east, the Ionian Sea to the southeast, and the Strait of Òtranto and Gulf of Taranto in the south. Its southern portion known as Salento, a peninsula, forms a high heel on the “boot” of Italy. It is bordered by the other Italian regions of Molise to the north, Campania to the west, and Basilicata to the southwest. It neigh- bours Greece and Albania, across the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, respectively. Puglia is mostly a plain; its low coast, however, is broken by the mountainous Gargano Peninsula in the north, and there are mountains in the north central part of the region.

The site has the advantage of a beautiful view of the sea and the Campomarina beach making it an extremly attractive site for a tourist led development. darling Maruggio, Italy Site Location associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Accessibility Airports Bari Airport Links (45 min driving from Maruggio) International Amsterdam Athens National Barcelona Bologna Basel Brindisi Brussels Catania Bucarest Milan (all airports) Koln Reggio Calabria Frankfurt Torino Geneve Trapani London Stansted Venezia Madrid Munich Paris Stuttgart Timisoara Tirana Brindisi Airport links (30 min driving from Maruggio) International London Stansted Zurich National Bari Bologna Milan (all airports) Roma Verona Taranto Airport links (20 min driving from Maruggio) Charter flights from Milan Malpensa Ferry .Bari is a port town with ferries to Greece. .Brindisi is the major embarkation point for ferries between Italy and Greece ( Kerkira, Igoumenitsa, Patra) darling Maruggio, Italy Accessibility associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Porto cesarea Castro Marina Surrounding Attractions Lecce is called the ‘Florence of the Baroque with more than 40 churches and at least as many noble palazzi of 17th and 18th century, creating one of Gallipoli Lecce the most unified urban landscapes in Italy.

It is possible to have a view of the sea from every part of the site, especially from the top floors of the villas and resort area. The public activities (sport centre and green area with an open air theatre) are strategically located at the extremities of the site so that can be easily reached from both customers inside and outside the area but keeping the independence from the resort and the apartments/villas. These functions will be open to public even though there will be a controlled restricted access for the members of the resort. darling Maruggio, Italy Site Massing associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Site Image -1 KEY PLAN Site Image-2 Site Image-5 Site Image-3 Site Image-6 darling Maruggio, Italy Site Photographs associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Site Image-7 View of the Site-8 Site Image-9 Site Image-10 Site Image-11 Site Image-4 darling Maruggio, Italy Site Photographs associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Proposed Site Fogli Castali MQ darling Maruggio, Italy Proposed Site associates February 2008 7059 Development Proposal Design Proposal Zoning The site has been divided into specific zones with varying uses in each.
