My goal is to provide you with a vacation filled with every comfort, offering a newly built 110-square-meter apartment featuring a kitchen, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a panoramic balcony, sleeping up to 6 guests. Air conditioners are installed in the living room and in the two master bedrooms, while the smaller bedroom has a fan. The apartment has many highlights, including its proximity to the beautiful sandy beaches—about a 15-minute drive away—stretching from Rodi Garganico to Capoiale. The town’s location allows you to reach all areas and islands of the Gargano in no time, The apartment is on the first floor and is close to the town center, where you’ll find all amenities and can take an evening stroll to enjoy the local bars and restaurants. Additionally, you can park your car near the front door; this parking spot isn’t private but is usually free.Although the apartment is close to the town center, it’s in a quiet location, perfect for a completely relaxing vacation.

Carpino is also a culinary destination; visitors can savor fabulous dairy products, including mozzarella and Podolico cacio cavallo, extra virgin olive oil that ranks at the top of the national niche market, legumes such as the Fava di Carpino—which has always been a huge hit, even making it into space with Samantha Cristoforetti—homemade pasta prepared in countless ways, traditional desserts, spiced olives, Apulian bread, etc.
