Hotel Gargano Monte Sant'Angelo, Hotel Mattinata, Hotel Vieste, Apulia - Palace Hotel Saint Michael

The entire stretch of the Gargano promontory boasts a great variety of panoramas and natural beauty, all waiting to be discovered: from the unique coast to the hilly interior regions, to villages bathed in a distinctive charm that has remained unchanged over the centuries. The scenery is typically Mediterranean, with olive and citrus groves sloping gently down to the waves and mountains that plunge headlong into one of the most beautiful stretches of sea in Italy. The wild charm of this land finds its expression in the translucent waters of the unspoilt sea, hemmed by rugged and uncontaminated beaches that are made all the more beautiful by authentic masterpieces of nature, such as the marvellous stacks or rock columns standing in the sea, the enchanting grottoes and the spectacular inlets. From the characteristic beaches with their multicoloured pebbles in Mattinata, passing through the captivating hamlets of Peschici and Vieste, and continuing beyond the more peaceful villages of San Menaio and Lido del Sole all the way to the gently sloping sandy shores of Rodi, Gargano offers visitors a wealth of opportunities to enjoy its world-famous sea. One of the most atmospheric marinas in all Gargano is located a few kilometres from our Hotel Mattinata, with its instantly recognizable beaches of pebbles smoothed over time by the waters of the crystal-clear sea. Also just minutes away, and easily reached from our Hotel Mattinata, are surrounding natural wonders, such as the beaches of Vignanotica and Mattinatella, and the bay of Zagare, with its renowned stacks. Venture from the conveniently located Hotel Mattinata to visit this jewel, which is just one of many on the Gargano coast. Don’t miss a visit to Vieste, with its Pizzomunno and picturesque trabucchi, or fishing jetties, and thrilling sea caves.
Take the road past Peschici, fêted for its magical scenery and breathtaking sunsets. The beaches of Lido del Sole and Rodi are of immense naturalistic importance, as is the marvellous San Menaio strand. Gargano is the perfect setting for an unforgettable holiday.
