Mattinata hotels

Pros: Everything and more. This was heaven. We are traveling Italy for 1 month and this is the best ever. Can’t wait to come back. We felt like family the whole time. No matter what you needed JoAnna made sure it was just what you needed. We made a lot of special friends staying here. New friends from Venice and also from England. So much fun. Everything is so clean and just amazing views of the sea. I would hope everyone coming to Italy would come stay at this beautiful property. You don’t want to miss it. Thank you again for everything JoAnna and the Boss GREAT GREAT GREAT. Thank also Maria for everything including our laundry

Cons: Nothing it was perfect !!!!!!!!

Pros: The host Giovanna was so nice. She prepared the breakfast food herself which was delicious. It was such a nice change from all of the morning sweets we had been having prior to coming here. This was so relaxing, streets easy to drive on...wide for Italy. Not crowded and the most beautiful ALL sand beaches. Best part of our month long vacation.

Cons: nothing! Everything was great

Pros: Residence Maresol is nothing short of enchanting! A slice of heaven in Vieste. The views are stunning, our apartment was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities- beautiful, elegant terrace, spa area and landscaping add to the wonderful ambiance. We hope to come back!

Pros: The hosts were charming and super welcoming. Beautiful property. Plan to return soon

Cons: More specific information about local tours and activities and help with booking would be nice

Pros: Maresol is a great property with beautiful gardens, a tranquil location and amazing sea views. It is the perfect base to explore Vieste and beyond

Pros: Getting a map of the town with information at time of checkin.

Cons: The extremely soft bed. The taste of the tap water.

Pros: A beautiful setting just outside the city. Fabulous view of the sea and the town. We did day trips but Vieste was a good home base. Beautiful beaches, lots of restaurant choices. Quiet atmosphere. Hostess was very helpful re: local attractions.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Not applicable, didn't have breakfast, Welcoming hosts, comfortable accommodation. Lovely outside space. Comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen. Super location. Nothing to fault. Would return if in the area.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: The Residence is beautiful, quiet, in the nature. The appartment was clean, and very beautifully decorated. There is a jaccuzi, but we didn’t use it, prefering going to the beach. They have an agreement with Lido Pelikano, and you only pay 10€ to park your car there, and enjoy deckchairs and parasol. There’s even a restaurant! They offer a boat tour (30€/pers) that is very nice, to discover the south coast of Vieste, with it caves and secluted beaches.

Cons: I thought we hadn’t the breakfast included at first, but on the first morning, the owner took us to the breakfast room and showed us the food, offering to eat on the patio. So we understood that it eventually was included. And she didn’t even warned us, it was totally dishonest of her. Because we continued to have breakfast during the rest of the stay! It doesn’t take that much energy to remind people that the breakfast isn’t included, and it’s not afterwards that you do it either ! As an improvement, they could write and display a note about the hours and the price of the breakfast in every room!

Pros: Wonderful stay! Beautiful place, peaceful (in May), great breakfast provided. Loved the bread and the honey! An area to sit outside and read looking out at the ocean Very kind hosts, I was travelling by train and bus, Matteo very kindly picked me up from the bus stop and helped me buy a ticket back and took me to the bus stop again. So helpful! The place was spotless and comfortable. Definitely recommend this unique place right on the beach, unbeatable view and nice kind people

Pros: Unbeatable location beside the beach. Unique property, superbly furnished. Matteo very helpful. Breakfast good. Lounge area very comfortable.

Cons: Shower screen had a mind of its own!

Pros: - Host Matteo was very friendly and helpful - View from the room towards the sea - Style of the accommodation - Mosquito nets allow you to leave the window open at night

Cons: - Fold out shower is horrible - Sewage smell from drain after using the shower - Breakfast very basic

Pros: An hidden gem! Well located, chic and Matteo is a perfect host, always available and providing excellent suggestions.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Fantastic location and interesting property. Our host was very welcoming

Pros: Amazing individual attention. The staff were amazing and looked after us beyond the call of duty and looked after our bikes in storage for 2 weeks without cost or complaint !! Pebble Beach was sweet with fantastic cafe restaurant on the waters edge Recommend and will go back when they have availability (not surprisingly they are full a lot )

Cons: liked everything

Pros: I could write a very long review, but I say only two words - this is paradise. If I can, I will definitely come back. Matteo, thanks for everything.

Pros: Location, building, breakfast, the sea, the personel, the owner and more..

Cons: Too short of a time!

Pros: Central location, very close to everything. Vanessa was very helfpul, recomended us local restaurants, places to visit around. We got nice map made by Vanessa which we used to discover Gargano. Clean room, equipped with all you need

Cons: Wifi not so good in the evening Thin walls

Pros: We really enjoyed staying at B&B Matinée. It is located on the main street of Mattinata, so very central, yet not too far from the sea. Vanessa is extremely sympathetic and had very good recommendations for us, both in terms of activities (she even gave us better information than at the tourist info that is right around the corner) and restaurants. The room was clean and confortable.

Pros: Very nice equipped room in pedestrian zone. The hosts were very helpful for recommendations of beaches, restaurants,...

Cons: You need car ti access the sea. Parking is on the streets.

Pros: Very nice rooms, really comfortable and central. I liked the city as well, especially in the summer!

Pros: We loved the time we had in Mattinata. Lorenzo and Vanessa were very helpful and arranged the check in and out perfect. They also gave us great tips which beaches are nice to go and which restaurants are good. This was amazing! The room is set up with so many lovely details and very clean. We would choose this place definitely again. Thank you so much!

Cons: Everything was perfect!

Pros: Just perfect!

Pros: Right in the centre of town so handy for restaurants. Went to one recommended by the owner - Scarpetta - the tuna was amazing!

Pros: The hotel was perfect. It is my pleasure to use this opportunity and express out gratitude to Isabella, the receptionist, who helped us so effectively and so kindly. As we arrived, I had pretty many request to Isabella. All were fulfilled.

Cons: As I already wrote - perfect.

Pros: Clean and friendly place, very nice staff, great cakes for breakfast. Amazing location, close to downtown and beach.

Cons: Would be nice to have a kettle in the room.

Pros: All was good, but a special mention to Isabella, the friendliest clerk I have met in a long time!

Pros: Big selection and plenty of food!!!

Pros: Outstanding place to stay near Vieste and the sea - staff very friendly - good view from our balcony to the sea and Pizzomunno. Can't put a finger on anything.

Pros: Very good breakfast , Kind and helpful staf Sea vew from the balcony is wonderful

Cons: Too much used thin and hard towels

Pros: The beach is near and comfotable. Staff is very kind.

Pros: Near to beach.

Cons: Not much charm.

Pros: Lovely clean environment. Isabella was a wonderful host looking after us very well. Breakfast was great quality too. Easy walk to the beach and to the old town.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The staff at the front was friendly and quick with check in, how ever there is no bell boy to help with the luggages. Hotel needs renovation. No bathrobes and slippers. Bed and towels are really very simple. It fits the most 4 stars... but not 5.

Cons: starting from the hotel rooms and facilities and then the breakfast. Only friendly and helpful staff saved the day

Pros: Excellent hotel! We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is large and modern with excellent air conditioning. The breakfast is one of the best for choice and quality we have experienced. Very friendly helpful staff also. Easy access to the beach direct from the hotel.

Cons: Cost of meals! €50 pp per meal is too expensive, particularly if you are going to stay for a week or more. It would have been nice to have had other cheaper options for the guests who are on a B&B package only. Very poor WIFI connection, sometimes does not work...

Pros: The property was quiet, alway from the chaos of Vieste, and very safe and secure. My room was very clean and I liked that TV was available in multiple languages. Staff was very polite and respectful.

Cons: The internet connection was very poor. The bed was uncomfortably hard. The food was not very good, especially dinner, and the dining room closed early for Italian eating. Very few choices. The beach is too close to an island with birds, too many feathers on the shore. The worst part to me was the fact that in the morning when the cleaning crew arrived my hotel room door would be opened automatically while I was still sleeping in my bed, even with the "do not disturb" sign on the door. One day, I had to rise to close it three times. VERY annoying! This hotel has limited information on area activities, especially in English - it seems to cater to Germans.

Pros: Nice staff.

Cons: The hotel looks somewhat out of style...

Pros: Everything.

Cons: The staff hired to amuse guests and their children ruined the natural beauty of the beach and comfort of the hotel with the super loud playing of the lowest forms of popular music.

Pros: My wife and I stayed at the Forte Hotel in Vieste for a week during a two-week holiday in Puglia, Italy. The hotel is located near the beach, with free umbrella and loungers plus free parking opposite the hotel. There was a supermarket about 100metres from the hotel. The reception staff were extremely helpful and quickly sorted out a few minor problems for us. Our room was clean and comfortable. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to and reasonably fast, although it dropped out for a day after a severe thunderstorm. The hotel has a very nice outdoor swimming pool, although it was a tad too cold for us. The breakfasts had a reasonably good selection and the service was friendly and helpful. However, we never could understand the seating arrangements. Although it was available, we did not eat there for dinner.

Cons: The décor in our room was a tad old-fashioned and the room lacked some of the things we had expected from a 4-star hotel, notably a kettle with coffee/tea making kit and robes for the swimming pool. Regrettably, there were no English-speaking channels on the TV.

Pros: the proximity to Vieste - a short walk. Private beach with excellent facilities. Safe in room at no charge. Overall friendliness of staff and cleanliness. Half board arrangement fine

Cons: no tea making facilities in room

Pros: My family and I will come back to this hotel 100%. This review is detailed but worth the read. Firstly, we ended up having extra guests coming so had to booked another room in Hotel Forte2 through booking.com. When we got to the hotel we explained to the lady on check in Lyla (sorry if I spelt it wrong) that we were checking everyone in then staying next door. She told us not too as she had empty rooms here and would transfer the reservation over. Lots was happening in the background with kids and chatter but Lyla had no problems and breezed the booking part. When we got to our room it was the best view with the beach. Rooms were very clean and comfotable. We went on down to thw beach where we were greeted and taken to our sun loungers that were included in hotel price. Another great thing I liked as im 2017 with a different hotel we had to pay extra for sun loungers and it ended up putting the cost of everything up. We were also given Wi-Fi to the beach. Afterwards we went back to the pool. The water was not cold. My boyfriend spoke to the lofe guard for a good hour and he was given us all the best places possible to eat at. We went out and ordered a cab through the hotel. There in under 2 mins. Breakfast time - the view is just amazing. So tranquil to watch the sea in the morning having caffe and quoisants. The morning staff took time to talk to us. My overall experience - AMAZING. Best customer service i have ever experienced. - (just so people understand o never write reviews like this. I barely write reviews in fact)

Cons: No bad comments

Pros: Friendly staff and good location. Pool was relaxing and always sun beds available.

Cons: WI fi poor. Noise at 7.30am onwards from scraping chairs in restaurant if you are on floor 3.

Pros: Balcony and view of the beach

Cons: Little food for vegetarians; more expensive to buy ala carte than to order 3 course meat meal.

Pros: Simple accommodation but with a great swimming pool area, accommodating staff and perfect location

Cons: Nothing really in particular

Pros: When we arrived we noticed that the balcony door would not lock. We also noticed that the air conditioner was not working properly as the fan was blowing too low and the room was warm. We spoke with reception desk and they did send service folks up; however they could not fix the door and they said the air conditioner was okay. We were fluffed off even though we spoke Italian. The beach chairs were pre-assigned . We noticed tons of chairs near the front near the sea where empty for majority of our stay.. When I asked to be moved they would not. I stood standing for 7 hours a day near the front near the sea as they would not allow me to sit anywhere else. I even mentioned that I felt ill sitting in the chairs they assigned us as it was too hot. They do not care about tourist outside of Italy.

Pros: The great breakfast for 5 euro was a real bargain. The design was a bit of a disappointment. However the maintenance was impeccable. If you come with car there will be no problem with parking. The centre is reached by a nice stroll along the sea.

Pros: We loved the quiet location across the parking lot from the sea. The beach here is the best you will find with warm, shallow waters on a very clean, sandy beach. The nice town of Vieste is about 15 minutes walking distance along the sea promenade. There are lots of good restaurants located there.

Cons: I didn't like the idea of having to pay 5euros for a bathing cap in order to use the swimming pool. This feels like a charge to use the pool facility which amounts to 10euros for a couple in addition to the room cost. Not many people travel with a bathing cap and it's the first time we have come across such a requirement. If you advertise that you have a swimming pool, I believe it should be free.

Pros: We visited some familiy members, spent a lot of time on the beach, did some sight seeing by car, visited some small villages in the neighbourhood like Pescisci, walking through Vieste, bought some souvenirs...

Cons: no possibility to eat outside, breakfast closed at 09:30

Cons: There was no fealing to the hotel

Pros: My stay was very nice

Cons: The room was a little small and the restaurant was not always open

Pros: Small but clean , comfortable and quiet. The staff were delightful and very helpful.

Cons: The fact that it was mandatory to wear a swimming cap in the pool. Have traveled all over the world and this is a first!

Pros: I liked how the hotel is right between the town and beach, with a short walk to both great breakfast location on the roof top balcony

Pros: Good breakfast

Pros: Location and great facility

Pros: Gorgeous. It was a pleasure to stay at that hotel. One of the best I’ve ever been in Italy. Great workers. Close to the beach. Many people here were angry with the big parking near the beaches, but I don’t think it’s a big deal to shake your dust off before the sea. Good breakfast. A little bit far from the center, but it’s much better to have a walk after a dinner or lunch. I strongly recommend this hotel!

Cons: Sometimes WiFi is working badly

Pros: Apartment was quite large and well kept

Cons: The roads leading to the property are in very poor condition very large potholes which could easily cause damage to your car.no English spoken

Cons: Lack of hand soap. In the kitchen lack of sponge, detergent.we had to make our own bed.

Cons: Heating was not working too good. First night slept in jackets. Just one small toilet roll for a 3 day stay for 4 people. No dishwashing liquid. No soap, nor shampoo. There was a dustpen but no broom. The cuttlery and dishes needed a good washing before using.

Pros: The apartment was in a great location, in the middle of olive groves and just a short distance from Vieste. The host was very friendly and gave us great maps of the area

Cons: The kitchen was not equipped with detergent, sponge etc. and had a tiny coffee maker which only made 1 tiny cup of coffee (for 2 people). The bathroom had no soap & insufficient toilet paper

Pros: Very clean and the owner was onsite and very friendly host

Cons: We had to make our bed when we arrived and there was no dish washing soap or sponges

Pros: Nice location, in the middle of olive trees, just outside the nice town of Vieste and the sea side. The one-bed room apartment was clean, spacious, functional, well-furnished and had a brilliant balcony. The host Biaggio was super nice and helpful.

Cons: The lighting of the apartment was not very adequate, and TV set was quite old. The kitchen could have a bit more utensils, and a mop was missing (essential for longer stays).

Pros: Large green and clean territory, hammocks, barbecue zone, swimming pool, great cuisine and good price in the cafe

Cons: Loud music every evening

Pros: Nice clean place for Ok price with pool and nice coffee in the morning. It's close to clean beach with great restaurant which has excellent lunch menu.

Cons: Really really really loud disco every evening from 21.30 to midnight. There is no escaping its noise. This is a great pity since it completely spoils your evening.

Pros: The swimming pool and the tennis court were excellent.

Pros: Good and quiet location. The territory is maintained regulary. Spacious rooms. Very good pool, which is cleaned every morning. Spaciuos and clean pool area. Very helpfull staff, especially barista Santa (best wishies and thak you very much), who was wery helpfull and made our stay even more pleasant and made us and our children feel like home. Although we do not speak Italian, and she does not speak English, we managed to understand eatch other very well.

Cons: Not very comfortable showers. Lots of mosquitoes.

Pros: I liked the location and parking.

Cons: Very poor breakfast, almost nothing to eat (e.g. only 3 scrambled eggs servings), everyday the same, lack of choice. At 8.30 it was literally empty. Dirty pool, rusted table tennis, half empty vending machine. Very small tv (1L bottle is higher), broken shower tap. Staff speaking only Italian (expect the owner). Non-drinking water (I think they were using sea water, it was disgusting to brush teeth). The place has not been refurbished for a long time.

Pros: Everything was excellent apart from the breakfast. Great location near the beach, room was clean and comfortable. We spent in Parco Carabella very nice week.

Cons: Breakfast was very poor. When we came at 9 a.m. (breakfast was from 8 to 10 a.m.) there was almost nothing left. Event the croissants and yogurts were gone.

Pros: Very good value, clean and comfortable. Great location for beach lovers, easy walk to old city for culture and food. Pool looks good, but we went into sea. Access and parking great.

Cons: Nothing much.

Cons: Not included beach towels.

Pros: The staff at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. Fresh made coffee every morning. 1min. to the beach and walking distance to Vieste town. Many unique, local beaches at walking distance from hotel. Busstop next to hotel

Cons: Wi-fi was extremely poor...Aranci needs to improve on their provider!!

Pros: It was very clean

Cons: Wi-Fi non existent

Pros: Good breakfast - would have liked to eat outside, but great food and coffee. Lovely pool - not open all day - but very nice. Lovely busy town - fun wandering around at night. Nearby beach nice, many others to explore in the area. Parking an issue - spaces like gold dust. I didn’t find one in hotel car park - did find one on street - 7Euros per day.
