We had a very enjoyable stay in the apartment owned by Luigi and Pinar. The location is a few minutes walk from the beach and there is a very pretty patio for relaxing. Luigi and Pinar were very kind and helpful. Highly recommended.

Very kind hosts and lovely to be so close to the beach. Simple but clean wee house with all you need.

Luigi and Pina were wonderful hosts, making us feel very welcome and helping us to get the most out of our time in this beautiful part of southern Italy. Luigi brought us fresh fruit from his trees and gardens. He speaks English as well as Italian, and offered us good advice about other places to visit on the Gargano Peninsula (and also the best times to go to those places). Without his help, we would have missed some of the most beautiful parts of the Gargano's beautifully dramatic coastline. But this property was also a great place to just be lazy and enjoy what was close at hand: a wide courtyard and veranda offering both sun and shade, clean comfortable rooms, nice views from the rooftop terrace, nearby waterfront cafes, and the ability to walk out the front gate and step immediately onto a lovely stone beach with great views up and down the coast. You have you choice here between organized parts of the waterfront where you can rent a lounge chair and umbrella for a few euros or the unorganized stretch where you can put your towel down for free, enjoy the water, have a snack and simply go back to your own private courtyard for a shady siesta or a meal made in your own kitchenette. Another nice feature: plenty places to park a rental car under the shade of grape vines or olive trees. If you don't want to cook for yourself, there are various bar and restaurant options nearby. The small supermarket and green grocer up in town has all the basic supplies needed to make yourself comfortable. Internet service would have been nice since we were trying to use our international data plan very sparingly, but we were able to use the free wifi at the beach bar just 50 meters down the road -- and that was enough to maintain some degree of contact with the outside world. We would happily stay here again.

Dit huisje is geweldig voor een vakantie aan het strand en een prachtig uitgangspunt voor het verkennen van de Gargano regio. Pina en Luigi zijn zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij en zorgen met regelmaat voor fruit uit eigen tuin. Zoals al beschreven is ongeveer 50 meter van het huisje het kiezelstrand waar je heerlijk kunt luieren en zwemmen. Hier kun je vanaf zo'n tien euro per dag een parasol huren met ligstoelen of je kunt zelf een stoel en parasol meenemen voor op het vrije strand. Er zijn voldoende restaurants in de buurt. Supermarkt is ongeveer 5 minuten met de auto in Mattinata. Je kunt een boottocht langs en door de grotten van de mergelkust maken, die wij zeer de moeite waard vonden. Verder is Vieste, op zo'n 50 minuten rijden, een leuk stadje om te bezoeken. Kortom een prima plek voor een zomerse vakantie!
