Activities At Real Tapalpa

The main focal point at the chateau is the photogenic infinity pool that stretches horizontally along the front of the building. It’s a stunning pool, with a shallow area that’s ideal for kids. There are plenty of sun loungers and squishy double beds to laze around on too. It’s not the kind of place you’ll be running down at the crack of dawn to bag yourself a lounger for the day! We found the pool area was very quiet during our visit, which we assume is because so many of the villas have their own private pools. In terms of other amenities, there’s plenty to keep you and your family occupied. There’s a clay tennis court below the terrace, a boules court, pretty gardens to explore https://realtapalpa.com/ and bicycles, which are complimentary for guests.

To stay at Athelhampton, you’ll need to book the entire 7-bedroom wing. It’s ideal if you’re looking for family accommodation in Dorset. All of the rooms have been renovated to a high standard, with luxury furnishings, smart décor and en-suite bathrooms. There’s a large kitchen and lounge on the ground floor, plus plans to create some outside space too. My favourite thing about being invited to stay here was that we were able to wander the gardens after the public left. We poured a glass of wine and sat outside in one of the many spaces, enjoying the beautiful views. It felt amazing to have it all to ourselves!

I also loved spending a luxurious evening in the manor, cooking a delicious dinner then relaxing in the enormous bathtub! I could hear the birds tweeting, smell the scent of sweet roses wafting through the windows and felt so relaxed as I enjoyed a peaceful soak!
