This Valentine’s Day, Be Prepared

Valentine’s Day is often destined for disappointment. Firstly there are all the too many cliches that need to be avoided, one must make sure that predictability and boredom don’t settle in for the night and then there are high expectations of romantic notions that must be met. On Valentine’s Day gestures of affection must to be made known in unique and personal ways that appear to indicate authenticity. No one said love was easy, wait, hold on…

So this year we recommend approaching Valentine’s Day, prepared. This problem is resolved in the form of a large cavernous grotto in the Southern Italian town of Polignano a Mare, where falling in love is dished up as a side to every meal. This remarkable grotto is fitted and elegantly designed to house the Grotta Palazzese Hotel Restaurant. Guests are found here from all over the world, eating a gastronomic delight of Mediterranean cuisine, enjoying the options of an exquisite and exotic wine menu whilst surrounded by breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea.

The restaurant of Grotta Palazzese Hotel is nestled into the vaulted limestone cavern, where diners satiate on uninterrupted views, watching the waves crash violently against the rock. Not the newest venue, it offers more of a reawakened tradition as hundreds of years ago, in the 1700’s the armour of the location was first realised by local nobility and used for their elaborate banquets. In the summer months, patrons sits outside enjoying the warmth and sun’s reflection of the deep azure seas. By winter, visitors dine behind the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring that the feast for the eyes is to be enjoyed year round.
