Hotel Vela Velo, Vieste, near Foggia

A cosy little seaside hotel on Puglia's Gargano peninsula - the Hotel Vela Velo offers affordable two-star accommodation in Vieste Gargano. With a private sandy beach, and the oak and beech woods of the Foresta Umbra to the rear, this is a quite idyllic setting. Offshore, there is the Tremiti Islands 'marine park', providing great opportunities for exploring and enjoying a sailing expedition around the coast. There are plenty of bracing activities on offer, with windsurfing, sailing and biking. There is a jacuzzi and fitness centre too - though you may choose simply to unwind with a book and a drink, and let the days drift by.

This Vieste hotel has a choice of double rooms, standard and superior. All standard rooms are directly reached from the garden; all superior rooms are air conditioned and have a sea view from a window or balcony. Rooms have a bathroom, fridge, satellite TV, telephone, work desk, TV and hairdryer. The hotel has a restaurant, gardens, free parking, terrace, safe, and there are rooms for guests with limited mobility. There is free WiFi internet access for guests.

The front desk staff can arrange car hire, and packed lunches for days spent exploring the Gargano. Historic towns to see include Monte Sant'Angelo, with its sanctuary 800 metres above sea level. There is the Padre Pio shrine at San Giovanni Rotondo, and beautiful scenery both around the coast and in the wooded centre of the headland.
