The apartment in Mattinata is wonderful! It has all necessities and despite the fact that there's no TV and wifi, I truly enjoyed my stay there in peace and quiet. Quite a few places to eat, good restaurants, bakeries and and grocery shops, as well as 4 gelato places in Mattinata. All you need is there, with amazing local produce!
Most people choose Vieste as their destination, but personally I was happy to have chosen Mattinata for it's more authentic feel and small, cosy environment.
The beaches around are breathtaking! Some are less accessible and require a hike to reach them, but all is worth it!
If I go back to Gargano, I will certainly choose Marida's place and Mattinata.
