About this apartment rental
Spectacular, elegant, spacious, very bright, comfortable apartment close to the sea and the historic center of Vieste, with breathtaking views that range from the emerald sea of the harbor to, below the house, the enchanting beach of Marina Piccola.
The result of a recently completed complete renovation, located on the third floor of a building with a lift (which cannot be found in Vieste in the historic center and with this view), the accommodation, of around 100 m2, is air-conditioned and consists of two bedrooms , one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, two bathrooms in fine ceramic, equipped with showers, and finally a living area with atrium, desk corner, open kitchen, dining room and living room also equipped with a sofa double bed.
The apartment also has an extraordinary balcony which, with its 14 meters in length, gives light to all the rooms and one of the two bathrooms. And, as if it were the side deck of a ship magically moored in Marina Piccola, it overlooks the changing colors of the scenic sea of Vieste. The balcony, with its 25 m2, also allows for pleasant living at any time of the day or evening. Equipped with table, chairs and deckchairs, it is an extraordinary place for an aperitif or dinner, as well as for sunbathing in the morning or for reading and entertaining in the afternoon and evening.
But unforgettable is the view that, even from inside the house, is always in your eyes: it includes the ancient outline of the town made up of cubic white houses crowded on the sloping hill, on which the spire of the Cathedral and the cyclopean walls of the Castle stand out . Dense cluster of medieval buildings that end, overlooking the sea, with the bastion of the Church of Punta San Francesco. While on the left from the nearby rock of Sant'Eufemia, the profile of the large lighthouse lantern stands out.
Right below the house it is possible to dive into the transparent waters of the Marina Piccola beach. While the large beaches of Vieste are easily reachable on foot with a short walk of a quarter of an hour, especially that of San Lorenzo, but Pizzomunno also requires only a few more steps. By car, obviously, even the most distant beaches can be reached in a few minutes.
The port, and therefore the embarkation point for the Caves or the Tremiti Islands or even the pier for renting dinghies, are located behind the accommodation, not even 100 meters away. There are also some, very few free parking spaces available on the seafront, which is very rare in Vieste, but above all, which is equally rare in the centre. In any case, 50 meters from the house there is an affiliated car park, uncovered but guarded, and large paid car parks are always easily accessible, especially near the port. Finally, bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and even the pedestrian area are within walking distance, but the particular position of the apartment, away from the seafront, protects from the evening noise.
Finally, the stylistic code of the furnishings tries to rediscover, a hundred years later, the life balance of a cultured, liberal and Central European bourgeoisie of the first decades of the last century, combining fine furniture of the period, mostly art deco, together with contemporary examples of cabinetmaking that recall ancient inlay techniques, such as the precious Piedmontese dining table or the small Provençal desk with olive root flap. Furniture carefully restored and combined with interesting modern design elements such as the kitchen lacquered with an aubergine color gloss or furnishing lamps or the very modern waterfall taps or, again, the handles made, to design, with lost wax castings in brass . The sense of comfort and well-being that the house inspires in its guests is completed by the large quantity of carpets and paintings in every room: in particular, original paintings and fakes coexist happily.

Summary of reviews
Breathtaking sea views, well-furnished apartment, and easy access to town make this property outstanding. Highly recommended for a memorable stay in Vieste!
4.0
First let me say that this property is exactly as depicted in the photos/description. The view is outstanding, the location is perfect -- a five-minute walk from the center of Vieste. I would book this property again and would recommend it to others. BUT. You need to know several things: First, the owner lives out of town and sends the surly/unhelpful Vassily to "welcome" you. He has zero interest in helping you figure out how to park, zero interest in telling you about Vieste. His excuse was that he didn't speak English. Well, I speak Italian, and he wasn't interested in speaking to me in Italian either. He wanted to let us in and get out. Second, you need to accept the "nickle and dime" aspect of paying extra for towels and internet. This is very clearly stated in the description, but it is still hard to swallow. You pay 10 euros per person for the kind of towels I used in junior high gym class. You pay 13 euros for four days of internet. There is NOTHING, I repeat nothing, in the apartment for your use. No dish soap, no paper towels, you are provided exactly one dishwasher pellet, no soap in the showers. Each bathroom gets one roll of toilet paper. Third, the upkeep is not the best. We discovered someone else's clothing in one of the closets. Three of the four light bulbs in the second bathroom were burned out. Fourth, there is noise from the scooter repair shop downstairs and the construction going on on the floor above. But the view! Made the rest of it tolerable.

As all other reviewers have said, there is a great view from this spacious apartment. It is, however, a no frills rental. Few of the so-called "amenities" (which I read as included in the rental) were actually free; some (like parking) weren't even guaranteed. Unlike all the other VRBO owners we rented from on this trip in Southern Italy -- all of whom were unfailingly welcoming and generous -- this owner was purely transactional. I felt like I was being nickled and dimed for the most basic "amenities" -- like towels, heat, and wifi. Caveat emptor and read the fine print.

The apartment is beautiful, comfortable with views to die for! Luigi was easy to communicate with and very friendly. My only recommendation is to provide some basic things for using the kitchen (a sponge and a few extra dishwasher soaps and dish towels). Otherwise, the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Really - everything about this place is excellent and we had a great time in Vieste and the surrounding area. Thank you, Luigi!

Spectacular views! Close to everything!
Panoramic views of the sea, lighthouse, and old town-gorgeous when lit at night! Walk to town, restaurants, shore, and harbor.

Vieste Get-a-way
The location was the jewel! Nice to be able to walk easily into town. Parking was an issue. With those issues it was still a great place to stay.

Schmuckstück mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
Schließen uns den positiven Vorbewertungen insgesamt an. Allerdings fanden wir folgende Punkte nicht so toll: Betten im Einzelzimmer quietschen bei jeder Bewegung - alte Möbel sind schön aber das Quietschen sollte beseitigt werden.
Der Balkon konnte selbst morgens Anfang Oktober nicht genutzt werden, weil es zu heiss war - ein Sonnenschutz wie andere Wohnungen ihn vorweisen wäre wünschenswert. Die Gesamtsumme für Miete und bes. der Kaution schon 6 Monate vorher einzuziehen, fanden wir unverhältnismäßig - das kann man kundenfreundlicher gestalten wie andere Vermieter es auch tun. Wer über diese Punkte hinwegsieht, dem sei die Wohnung ans Herz gelegt.

Amazing Stay in Vieste
We spent a week in this lovely apartment overlooking the sea in Vieste. My husband and I and his sister found the apartment to be very comfortable, well furnished and equipped. We were very happy to have two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The kitchen, dining and living areas were spacious, nicely furnished and very comfortable. We cooked several meals in the well-equipped kitchen. But the star of the apartment was the balcony -- we spent much time relaxing with the wonderful view. We also enjoyed walking in the town, with the evening promenade. Highly recommended.

Magnifico Gargano
Bellissimo appartamento con vista spettacolare su Vieste. L’alloggio è pulitissimo (affitto case da anni e non sempre la pulizia è scontata) e molto confortevole. Noi eravamo in sei ma c’ è spazio a sufficienza per tutti. Il divano a letto in soggiorno è molto comodo. È posizionato praticamente al centro di Vieste e si possono raggiungere diverse spiagge a piedi anche se la macchina è consigliata per visitare le bellezze del luogo. Alloggio che consiglio!

Beatiful apartment that gives the sensation of hovering over the sea.
The apartment is perfectly located on the third floor in a building at the edge of the sea. All the living area and bedrooms have a balcony that face the sea and gives the allusion of hanging over the water. The apartment is beautifully furnished and finished with fine appointments. Luigi was in regular email contact with us before our arrival and made everything clear about our stay. We loved the easy walking access to the town which we explored on foot each day and evening. I highly recommend Luigi's apartment to anyone wanting a memorable experience on the Adriatic coast.

Traumurlaub
Vielen Dank an den Vermieter - wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in diesem Apartment!
Die Lage der Wohnung war für uns perfekt, denn man kann fast alles zu Fuß erreichen. Zwar gibt es keinen eigenen Parkplatz, aber gebührenpflichtige öffentliche Parkplätze sind ganz in der Nähe.
Vieste bietet alles was man sich wünscht!
Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig, hell, gut ausgestattet und sauber.
Das schönste ist natürlich der Blick vom sonnigen Balkon...

Wunderschöne Ferien in Vieste
Es war wunderschön in Vieste und in der Wohnung. Anfangs waren wir von den vielen Touristen erschrocken, aber wir gewöhnten uns nach ein paar Tagen daran. Wir haben jeden Tag den östlichen Strand an der Lungomare Enrico Mattei besucht und das herrliche Wasser mit dem super tollen Sandstrand besucht.
Zum Essen sind wir mehrmals im Ristorante al Duomo gewesen, aber auch das ganz nahe gelegene Ristorante Bella Napoli hat uns sehr gefallen.
Wir haben aber auch oft abends auf den Balkon Ihrer Wohnung gegessen und die wundervolle Aussicht auf das Meer genossen, der Blick ist einzigartig schön, auch auf die Stadt.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und bietet viel Komfort.
Vielleicht noch ein Tipp zum Balkon, schön wäre es wenn dort ein Sonnenschutz wäre, dann hätte man auch morgens dort Essen können.
Ein Dankeschön auch an Vasilie, er hat uns sehr gut betreut.
Vielleicht kommen wir nächstes Jahr nochmals nach Vieste.

C'era una volta un balcone........ E ancora c'è.
Questo è il luogo delle parole, delle impressioni condivise, in questo caso del ricordare la piacevolissima vacanza estiva trascorsa a Vieste.
Siamo Patrizia e Marco, proveniamo da Roma, al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato tutto ciò che chiunque spererebbe di trovare... Una località curata, tipiche case bianche ben tenute, vegetazione ricca pressoché ovunque, mare cristallino. E ancor di più siamo stati accolti e stregati dalla indiscutibile bellezza di un appartamento impreziosito da un lungo "balcone sul mare". Ed è così davvero !!! Da quel privilegiato punto di vista, unico per posizione e confort abbiamo potuto apprezzare le bellezze circostanti, il centro storico di Vieste, la Rocca dominante la costa e di ora in ora, nel corso delle giornate, scoprire che la sapiente ed elegante attenzione dedicata alla scelta degli arredi interni dell'abitazione, risultava in perfetto accordo cromatico con il contesto circostante....insomma una costante citazione di alba in tramonto e così via...raccontata in tinte pastello!
Dunque consigliamo vivamente, a quanti come noi amano il mare, di concedersi lo stupore che suscita quel "balcone" ed affidarsi nel contempo, alla cortese ospitalità dei proprietari dell'alloggio che ancora oggi, noi, ringraziamo di cuore.

Very beautiful... great location!
Very beautiful place and nicer than the photos show! You can watch the weather change from the huge long balcony. Everything inside is very modern, clean and new with an artistic flare. Great location because the port with restaurants is located just behind the apartment. All boat tours leave from here also! To go into Vieste village with its restaurants and shops it is a beautiful 6 minute walk across the palm lined promenade. Owner is very nice and helpful. Parking out front was good but in busy summer time? Much more free parking is available at the port which is a 4 minute walk. The ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars is because I think an apartment of this level should have WIFI internet. I have rented dozens of nice places like this around the world and all have good internet. We had to "hot-spot" using lots of data all of the time and sometimes that did not work well because of poor satellite signal at apartment. Therefore, had to go to a restaurant at the port who happily let us use their free internet. Thank God for that! :) My fiance works on-line so this was an negative issue. For many guests this would not be an issue if just doing casual Email. Also, not sure why, but you need to bring your own towels. I have never experienced that before. However, the owner was nice enough to have our reception person buy towels for us for our arrival for a small fee. Otherwise, everything was fantastic and I highly recommend it! Grazie Luigi! :)

UNA MAGIA
Sono ormai molti anni che affitto, a Vieste ma anche altrove, appartamenti o villette in località di mare per le esigenze estive mie e della mia famiglia (siamo in 4). E le scelgo sempre che abbiano un bel panorama. Ma non ho mai trovato un appartamento fantastico come questo. Non solo è comodo, elegante, pieno di luce, moderno, ma possiede una magia che è difficile da spiegare a parole. Non si tratta solo di una vista mozzafiato: è che c'hai il mare sempre negli occhi, qualsiasi cosa fai: dormi, mangi o sei seduto in casa o sdraiato sul fantastico terrazzo-balcone! Ecco il mare e la Vieste antica sono sempre proiettati sul maxischermo del cielo del Gargano! Nemmeno nel più bello degli hotel di Vieste riesci ad avere tanto. E poi è tutto vicino, raggiungibile, facile. Ci sono alle volte alcuni alloggi antichi ristrutturati in centro che hanno un panorama simile, peccato che devi sempre salire ripide scale con passeggino o borse della spesa al seguito e poi parcheggiare la macchina è ogni volta una cosa impossibile. Qui invece c'è l'ascensore e la macchina la lasci sottocasa, cosa impensabile in tutti gli altri punti del centro di Vieste. Poi, se vuoi la dimentichi, perché dappertutto puoi arrivare a piedi. Ma lo spettacolo che hai sotto gli occhi quando sei in casa, quello non lo dimentichi! Io ho già prenotato per il prossimo anno. Un grazie a Luigi, premuroso padrone di casa, ed al suo amico factotum Vassili.
