Besides the main pool, which is 10m x 6m with an even depth of 1.2m (almost 4ft), there is a small, shallow splash pool hidden away on one of the upper terraces. For the active there is a badminton/volleyball court, bocce ball court, croquet ‘lawn’, mini-golf course, an exercise/yoga platform that faces the rising sun, dart board, even a punching bag hanging from an olive tree. Villa Marianna also has a good selection of CDs, DVDs, board and card games and books. For relaxing there are shady hammocks on the hilltop with amazing views, rope chairs suspended from olive trees, and under a giant olive tree steamer chairs and a card table. For those with culinary interests there is wood-fired pizza oven on its own terrace and BBQs on the House, Villa and trullo terraces. And if there is a nip in the air the trullo terrace has a stone, open-air fire-pit.
