Hotel La Valletta Centrobenessere, Rodi Garganico, near Foggia

Hotel La Valletta Centrobenessere, Rodi Garganico, near Foggia

The Hotel La Valletta Centrobenessere sits beneath the town of Ischitella on Italy's Gargano Promontory. This is where the coast of Puglia pushes out into the Italian Adriatic - a beautiful and carefully protected region of the south of Italy, and a gloriously unspoiled spot for your vacation.

La Valletta is a 'holiday farm'. Enjoying panoramic views over one of the most stunning valleys on the Gargano, this holiday estate has been created from the careful restoration of a number of old farms, which for centuries grew olives and raised sheep. It overlooks the plain of the Lago Varano (one of two sea lagoons that meet the ocean here, separated by a long spit of sandbank). On the horizon beyond, you will see the outline of the Tremiti islands, seemingly floating in the Adriatic.

Rooms at this Gargano hotel are double or triple, all with their own private ensuite bathroom. There is a restaurant and bar, free parking, and there are rooms for guests with disabilities. The hotel has internet access, a tennis court, swimming pool and jacuzzi. So relaxed is it here that you may be tempted to spend all day by the pool, but there is glorious countryside to explore. The Parco Nazionale del Gargano, which covers the headland, includes the oak and beech expanse of the Foresta Umbria. There are some splendid little resorts dotted around the coast, and there are historic towns such as Manfredonia, San Maroc in Lamis and San Giovanni Rotondo to discover.
