Mattinata hotels

Pros: Nice apartment, the private beach with beach service was wonderful!

Pros: the beach was near and nice (but you have to pay for it)

Cons: the matress was a disaster. the room is too small and you can hear everything from the next room (e.g. snoring). i dont recommend it at all

Pros: The venue was perfect for us. Quiet, near the sea and a great breakfast. Helpful staff who went out of their way to make our stay really good.

Pros: We liked the fact that is close to the beach.

Cons: Wifi was not working, and we were told it was because of the recent storms, which could be understandable. We were also looking for a quiet place and this is definitely not the case. If you are bringing a big family or friends and like partying, it great because there is loud music, kids and teenagers playing at the pool all day. The staff is very friendly and understood our situation, so they let us check out earlier, because we needed wifi to do some remote work.

Pros: Staff. Pricing. Very kind people in the area. Very good entertainment for the children.

Cons: N/A

Pros: It was clean and located in the middle of an olive grove

Cons: The air conditioning wasn't big enough to cool the apartment

Pros: The residence is really well located, even if it's preferable to have a car to reach Mattinata city center, is quiet and the olive trees that surround the houses are beautiful. The staff is ready to help and kind.

Cons: The house were we were staying was a bit smaller than what we were expecting from the pictures. The restaurant inside the resort is overpriced compared to the nearby high quality restaurants.

Pros: Nice hotel near the sea, beautiful scenery. Fantastic beaches in the area.

Cons: In our room we could hear everything from the adjacent rooms and the breakfast area underneath.

Pros: Sea view was amazing. Territory of the hotel is so beautiful!! Breakfast maybe could be better, but products were very high quality and very tasty! At this time of the year temperature was above 20 degrees, so we could easily sunbath all day in our terrace, that was huge. We had kitchen in the room and it was grate because, near to the hotel there is little shop, where you can buy main products, for example, for lunch we had pasta (1,50€ per package) with different kind of cheese (2€ per package) + cherry tomatoes (2€ per package - just excellent), for dinner we had salats with olive oil, that you can buy at the hotels reception (250 ml costs 5€). Dinner in hotels restaurant for two of us was ~37€ (ravioli with cheese and fried sea food mix + bottle of water). You can easily go for a walk to Mattinata, there are little supermarkets, fruit/vegetables shops - natural products, pharmacy’s, little restaurants and cafes. Streets are very busy and very thinly, so be careful with you car. Room was cleaned every day, and towels were changed every day. I suppose it’s because busy season is over and they can manage to clean every room every day. employees at the reception speaks English very good! In the evenings, when it is dark outside, you can see Croatia (Dubrovnik) night lights. Overall - this is wonderful place, we are very satisfied. Thank you for wonderful service!!!

Pros: The view was amazing. All the staff were extra helpful and appeared happy. The food in the restaurant was very good along with the nibbles with our drinks. The bed was very comfy and nice shower It was nice and quiet when we went as beginning of September. Close to the national park with beautiful scenery.

Cons: The dish washer didn’t clean very well. Only 2 coat hangers, however some more where found very quickly. No bottle opener and so we had to buy a new one. No chopping board but again one was found for us. The beach was a good half an hour walk and I walk quickly! Though there is a shuttle bus. The staff on the beach did not appear very friendly. However I don’t think this is part of the hotel as such and there are others you can go to but you will need to pay for beds and umbrellas.

Pros: A very good place to spend time and unwind. Beautiful interiors and garden.

Pros: Restaurant for dinner was excellent!

Pros: The big terrace, the great view, the nice restaurant

Pros: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here mainly because of the beautiful sea view from the large deck of our apartment. The restaurant at the property was very good (also with a great view) as was the breakfast. We found the staff very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We also enjoyed spending time at the beach on our allocated sun lounges (which you had to drive to).

Cons: The décor was a little dated and the shower cubicle was tiny.

Pros: Room comfort, view, breakfast

Cons: Being charged extra for what i tought was un upgrade offered to have a sea view

Pros: Excellent location. Rooms spotless. Angelo so very helpful and spoke English very well

Cons: Nothing to dislike overall. If we had to criticise, then the early morning shower could have been warmer.

Pros: Very, very friendly and helpful people, very spacious and modern Studio with an excellent ac. Absolutely clean. Very nice and well-kept family hotel. Beautiful view. Beautiful surrounding without mainstream tourism

Pros: Literally everything. The staff, the facilities, the breakfast, the room (not noisy and yet efficient aircon), the parking space, the distance from restaurants and beach. I can't recommend this establishment enough.

Pros: Couldn’t rate this place highly enough; superb little family run hotel/apartments- we had a studio apartment with a balcony, all in immaculate condition and very well equipped within close proximity to the beaches. The pool area was delightful, the breakfast good value, the staff extremely friendly,helpful and accommodating. Would return in a heartbeat.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Spacious room. Good to have made to order scrambled eggs.

Cons: The wifi is terrible. You are in luck when your wifi can be connected. It is off or slow most of the time.

Pros: We were staying in a new room - super clean and well designed, with nice kitchen. Matteo was very welcoming and had helpful tips for different options around the area.

Pros: The hotel was great! The room was very clean, swimming pool was big enough. The place was very quiet, perfect for people who wants to be in quite environment

Cons: The wifi was not very strong in the room. The beach nearby is paddle beach. There is no sandy beach in Mattinata area

Pros: Very helpful and friendly staff!

Cons: A little outdated. Breakfast average. Not located on the sea, you have to walk a little.

Pros: Nice, quite place, close to the sea.

Pros: The yard looks spectacular even more beautiful than in pictures, the pool area is clean and big enough. The room was pretty small, but the bed was comfortable and the terrace was cool with a nice view.The kitchen was equipped with everything you may need.

Cons: It might have been a mixup with the booking, but i made the reservation for 2 adults and they told us that the reservation was confirmed just for one guest. We had to pay an extra 30 EUR, even though we booked an apartment for 2 persons. The shower was awful, small and very hard to use.

Pros: Very nice and large room, well equiped. Location is amazing and hotel beach cannot be better. Also pool is cool. Nice staff as well

Cons: Can be more cheese and ham varieties for breakfast.

Pros: Absolutely loved our room and the hotel which has access to both the north beach and south beaches. The beaches were just breathtaking as were the stacks from either beach. The breakfast was very good and enjoyed the complimentary kayaks. Boat trip from nearby Vieste along Gargano coast was wonderful which ended at turn around at Zagare Bay at the hotel.

Cons: Like other reviewers, we played restaurant-roulette to be seated somewhere in the restaurant with a view. We were the sixth set of people, five couples before us (we were a triple) in the beginning of dinner hour (7:30) with two sets of couples behind us to be seated. Nope. We were given an interior table with no view. We politely asked for a better table and were refused whereby we quietly excused ourselves and ate off premises. We perhaps could understand if the restaurant was full but an hour and a half later it had maybe 10 tables seated. We too, do not understand the maitre d's decision on whom sits where. This was the only negative during our stay.

Pros: The own, beautiful beach, nature, garden.

Pros: Main gentleman in beach nord was very friendly and helped us with sun beds. The maid staff did such a wonderful job. The location is absolutely stunning. When we checked in, a very helpful gentleman on a golf buggy helped us deliver our luggage to our room.

Cons: The wait and service staff (with the exception of an older gentleman who served our coffee and tea every morning, as he was pleasant and very helpful), the other staff at this hotel seemed to be quite cold, reserved and disinterested. We had one dinner in the restaurant, which seemed like a complex arrangement of needing a ticket etc. Our dining experience wasn’t the best, food was ok apart from the mushroom pasta on Saturday night which gave me severe food poisoning (still continuing 3 days later after a trip to the pharmacist) when I explained to the reception staff that I am travelling with a disability (and I emailed ahead of time to let them know) and as such I needed a room close to the facilites, I was told my room would be close to the beach but far from the breakfast room. I asked if it would be possible for one of the many golf buggies be used to pick me up once per day so I could access the breakfast room and he seemed very unsure and non-commital. It don’t seem like too difficult a request for a disability

Pros: Perfect location, idyllic beach. Lots of facilities. Lots of variety at breakfast. Stunning views from gym. Some (only some) staff quite helpful. Serene environment.

Cons: Staff were quite cold and not overly friendly. Some were lovely but a few of the restaurant and reception staff were quite cold and unfriendly. Tried to make us pay 27 Euro each for a sun lounger on our final day because we’d checked out that morning, seems like an unfair policy given it was September and the beach was less than a quarter full. Dinner food very average and very expensive.

Pros: The most beautiful place on earth. Decorated with so much taste. The staff is absolutely lovely and I had the pleasure to meet the owner who built this fantastic one of a kind place .

Cons: The man on the beach in charge of the equipment is a bit rough and rude .

Pros: Everything is great. Very beautiful beach, delicious breakfasts, kind staff, perfect cleanliness in the room.

Pros: Overall a very beautiful place. Great private beach with free sunbeds and kayaking through the beautiful bay. The breakfast is good.

Cons: Nothing much.

Pros: Staff friendly big balcony

Cons: No toilet seat. Shower didn’t work restaurant closed down

Pros: Staff

Cons: Le camere

Pros: Comfort

Cons: There should have been a fridge in the room.

Pros: The owner is very friendly. We arrived very late than expected (12:30 am) due to delay in car rental procedure, still she made sure she was awake for us & showed us all rooms & welcomed us warmly. The location is amazing, on the beach, very quiet. Restaurant is in the premises, but also there are good options nearby, although Car is must to reach here. (But Owner said, one can come by train/Bus to Mattinata main square & she'll come to pick up if told well in advance. Very sweet of her). Even supermarket is nearby (by car).

Cons: Breakfast spread is good but can be better. The beach next to the property is beautiful to sit but be aware it is completely rocky beach with no sand, on shore as well as in water. So it's difficult to go on the beach & even walk.

Pros: Excellent location for exploring the area. Modern accommodation, very clean, on site full restaurant with interesting menu and excellent food. The owners were very friendly and did everything to make us feel at home.

Cons: Beds (could be our room only?) were low to the floor, getting stiff at our age!!

Pros: More than perfect location, rooms and restaurant. Hostess could be more friendlier and could remember that they work for customers not opposite.

Cons: Hostesses attitude

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: Free bikes to go around Rooms are ok. But expensive for that location. The help guy was nice (only French guy there. The owner doesn’t speak either french or English)

Cons: Really more a family place than a place for couple or single. The outdoor smells like horse poop in the back of the property...so it was smelly in my room. The kitchen could use some more ustensiles (no mean to make ice...)

Pros: The owner and his assistent Afid were really great. They even put on the ‘waterfall’ and the bubble machine in the swimming pool for me! Both the village and the beach are within walking distance

Pros: Nothing special

Cons: No internet at all

Pros: Great location , great people, personal was amazing ... Festivall of colors was absolutely amazing ... thank you !!!

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!

Cons: Good 3 star..far away to be 4 star...poor breakfast..vry simple fornuture..single room as preason...only location an the have service to Viesti which iş good.

Pros: Location was pefect and the breakfast just what we wanted

Cons: The shower tray had a slight leak

Pros: Great location, clean, close to places of interest, great pool, hotel bus to take you down to beach and back to hotel

Pros: Beautiful location, friendly staff. Small playground for children :)

Cons: According to booking.com there should also be a kid's club, but was no longer in September.

Pros: Nice hotel with big pool located on small hill with sea view. Shuttle service to beach and Vieste but more convenient to have own car.

Cons: As for 4* hotel breakfast could be a lit bit varied.

Pros: The location is excellent and the pool amazing (also great size, since very big). The rooms are basic, but extremely comfortable and the front ones have a wonderful view on the bay.

Cons: The very loud animation during the day (from 4.00 pm onwards) and particularly at night (til 12:00 -1 am).

Pros: The location

Cons: The closing time of the swimming-pool, the Forniture, the decoration of wall it felt I was in a retirement home.

Pros: Nice quiet hotel, with stunning view. Water in the pool was very clean, no odor of chlorine. Very convenient shuttle service between hotel and downtown. Extremely frendly stuff.

Cons: Shower cabin was abnormally small, I’m lean person, but I cannot imagine how 100+kg person will fit into. But this is their problem I guess.

Pros: The hotel is very close to the beaches, and within walking distance of the town center. It's up an a hilltop, so it might not be walkable by anyone. They do have "shuttle" busses for those who can't walk up the hill. The hotel was clean, the staff very welcoming and met all our requests.

Cons: Breakfast was dissapointing. No vegetables, mostly toast bread, complicated seating schema :) We missed breakfast one morning and the staff was nice enough to make us some sandwiches. The sandwich was much better than the normal breakfast. The pool is closed between 12:30 and 15:00. Surprising, given that you're going to a resort for full time relaxation. You are also obliged to wear a swimming cap in the pool. They do sell them on site and are reasonably cheap (2€). Afternoons at the swimming pool were not that relaxing. They have aquagym classes with loud and questionable music that makes the place feel like a club. Might be enjoyable for some people, it was not for us. As is typical of italian hotels, they have no "Do Not Disturb" signs that one could use, so late sleepers will get a wake-up call from the cleaning lady.

Pros: - We had an upgrade from a standard room to a superior room - The hosts are very kind and helpful - The bartender and the waiters are very kind - The variety in the restaurant menu for dinner - The big TV we had in the room - The view on the valley from our terrace - The calm surrounding the area - Fair value for money - The very kind masseuse and her massages - The proximity from Vieste, approx 15mn by car

Cons: Few things need to be improved for a good 4* review : - Pillows are extremely not comfortable, even though the manager brought us only one softer pillow, we had to share over the nights - There are lost dogs in the parking area, no one is taking care of it. They should be taken care of, washed and fed - The room was not clean enough for a 4* - The soap reload are not verified. We stayed 4 days without soap - The pool is not cleaned, lots of bugs on the surface - The SPA pool is not warmed, and the towels are not free for an entry we pay 15€ each (first time I ever see this in a SPA)

Pros: Nice room with balcony; very nice breakfast buffet and good view from 4th floor roof top. Large pool. The hotel is away from town, so I definitely recommend a car. If you have no car, shuttle bus to the beach is perfect.

Cons: Can the receptionist be more unpleasant? Doubtful. But she gave it her all. She certainly made sure that we knew she did not want to be there and that she did not want us there. We booked this hotel specifically because of the fitness centre: the one lone treadmill did not work. The location is VERY isolated - if you do not have your own transport. We booked for three nights and left after just one.

Pros: When I booked the hotel, I did not know exactly what to expect. When we drove and enter the parking it was still uncertain. But when we arrived, we were greeted by the owners and they directly made us feel at home. It was just spectacular. Dinner was very good and breakfast was one of the best breakfast we had in Italy. Products from their garden and the region. Just perfect !

Cons: a bit far from the coast

Pros: Not much. The reception staff and the common place was clean and ok. Very cool rooftop bar. Nothing very fancy but the grappa was perfect and the bartender very polite.

Cons: Value for money ratio - very poor. The room was rather expensive comparing to hotels almost everywhere in Europe and.... smelly bathroom, no towels on the pool, the pool rather old with a few sun beds. Generally you expect much more with a 4* place for a relaxation by the pool.

Pros: Rooftop bar had gorgeous views at sunset and staff were very friendly.

Cons: It all looked outdated and prices were a little too high for what was offered. The spa is completely below ground and there were no staff there when we went to help us get around.

Pros: Nice place surrounded by nature but not too far from the center of Vieste or the Foresta Umbra (few minutes drive). Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was kind and helpful.

Cons: Spa is nothing special. Wouldn't recommend spending on it.

Pros: Th place is beautiful, in the mountains close to Vieste. We stayed in a suit and it was very comfortable with a spacious bedroom and a very large living room that has another queen bed. The dinning room was very nice overlooking the pool.

Cons: Dinner is served at 9.00pm only. After that time, you only have the bar with drinks and snacks.

Pros: The shower was great. The breakfast was delicious. The location was close to the beavh, which we loved.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The bedroom and facilities

Cons: Allow the check out to be later than 10.00

Pros: Pool, beach

Cons: Bar didn’t open until 6pm

Cons: The wi if arrangements are disastrous and the connection speeds very bad! To connect it was necessary to input both a username and a password every time!!!!!! Jacuzzi in the bath was complicated and difficult to operate!

Pros: Breakfast was good! Location was good..close to the beach:)

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.

Pros: The breakfast and evening meals were excellent - great variety and good quality food and cooking.

Pros: Good location for a short stay, good sized room for those travelling with larger than your cabin baggage allowance.

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...
