Hotel Pietrenere, Rodi Garganico

The family-run Hotel Pietrenere lies in Gargano, on southern Italy's Puglia coast. The hotel is beautifully situated, in a picturesque spot surrounded by pine trees and orange groves, close to the attractive whitewashed village of Rodi Garganico.

There is plenty for the tourist to do in this enchanting corner of Puglia with miles of golden beaches interspersed with romantic coves and rocky inlets. The nearby Tremiti Islands offer divers an opportunity to discover the underwater treasures of the clear, blue Adriatic. The Umbra Forest is criss-crossed with pretty nature trails and unspoiled medieval villages line the coast.

Guests can anticipate traditional southern hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere. There are 45 air-conditioned rooms, each furnished in a relaxed, understated style and with its own private balcony from which you can sit and watch the sun go down over the ocean. Every room has a direct-dial telephone line plus satellite TV, safe and minibar.

The hotel restaurant offers a constantly changing menu of local and regional Italian dishes based on local fish and seafood as well as delicious meat and vegetarian dishes and home-made pasta and pizzas. Local wines feature heavily on a very good wine list and salads are lightly dressed with world-famous Gargano olive oil. The hotel has a welcoming lounge bar and guests are free to use the private beach, which is equipped with sunbeds and parasols. Major credit cards are welcome.
