Vico del Gargano, that is regarded to be one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, extends along the northern side of Gargano Promontory. This thriving centre of the province of Foggia develops just in the heart of the homonymous National Park. Known as “the city of love” due to its patron saint St. Valentine, its charming old town is crowned by lush orchards and olive groves, and surrounded by spectacular natural settings that range from the green slopes of the local Foresta Umbra to the compelling beaches of the Adriatic Coast.

Those staying at the modern hotels Vico del Gargano, that gather spacious bedrooms furnished with style, will have the possibility to discover the history, art and traditions of this fascinating medieval village. The local guest houses, that are situated few metres far from the most beautiful coastal areas of Apulia, are provided with special agreements with the nearby beaches and bathing establishments. The city's farm houses, that are surrounded by enchanting natural settings, the glorious Gargano countryside and the local Foresta Umbra, are the ideal accommodation facilities for the lovers of excursionism and orienteering.

The city's charming medieval old town is dominated by the splendid Church of Beatissima Vergine Assunta, that was erected in the XVII century. Its sober facade, that is characterized by an imposing stone portal, is dramatically offset by three sumptuous naves and elevan Baroque altars.
It is flanked by the imposing Vico Castle, that was originally built to be the residence of Frederick II of Swabia. Its circular bulwark, that is encircled by high square-shaped towers, was repeatedly remodelled over the course of the centuries. Not to be missed is the elegant Palazzo Della Bella, a sumptuous stately home distributed over two floors that is totally encircled by impressive merlons. Its neo-Gothic patterns drew inspiration from Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.
The lovers of nature won't miss the opportunity to visit Marzini Pinewood Forest, one of the largest and oldest Aleppo pine forests in Italy, that overlooks the compelling sandy beach that extends between Piana di Calenella and San Menaio.
