Top Hotels Near Umbra Forest Nature Reserve in from NZ$121

"Gorgeous resort off the beaten path- felt like a slice of heaven- room was modern, comfortable- stayed on the nonpremium side of resort, but was beautiful with elevator down to private beach with assigned chairs- sea was so lovely. Felt like an amazing way to start our trip in Puglia. Restaurant was very nice for breakfast and dinner- breathtaking views- staff were so nice. Thank you!"

"The accommodation and meals are excellent. The included breakfast had many many options, except hot options, like eggs or sausage or bacon included on the buffet. That said, there were many many Italian breakfast options. The rooms were efficient and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The site lines to the valley are second to none, a commanding view over the sea, and this view is enjoyed greatly during the breakfast. There is some walking to be done to get to the seaside. Walking back up would be a challenge with people with mobility issues or have physical challenges. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel if you are looking for a change, but it is a more significant hike to get into town to take advantage of restaurants and retail stores. This hotel option is an excellent choice if you’re staying in this area."

"Luccia, the owner, brings “light” to your day with her warm spirit and southern hospitality. The food is simple but amazing; demonstrating that good ingredients and affectionate cooks make a difference! Torre Bruno is set among olive trees and strategically located near many sites like San Giovanni del Rotundo, San Michele, and the northern Puglian beach towns of Vieste and Peschici. It’s a mountain town, so driving to these locations requires attentive driving on mountain roads that should be done during the day. It is best to plan to eat there at night when the sun goes down early or nearby in the town of Carpino. The agriturismo is pet friendly and Benny and Machi greeted us warmly upon our daily returns and discouraged the cingali night. The olive oil produced at Torre Bruno is some of the best I have ever tasted, so I had to buy a bottle to bring home. "

"We absolutely loved this hotel! The town is so charming to walk around and the historical sites are beautiful! The breakfast was extensive! Lots of choices. "

"My wife and I had a wonderfully restful and quiet stay at Agriturismo Posta Pastorella. It was just what we were hoping for. The property is ideally located only a few minutes’ drive from Vieste’s old town and the nearby beaches. Our host, Fabio, was fantastic, welcoming us on arrival and always available whenever we needed anything during our stay. Nestled among olive trees, the agriturismo is beautifully immersed in nature and features a lovely swimming pool with a bar. We would definitely love to return the next time we’re in Vieste."

"Staff was mechanical. Everyone seemed to be feigning interest. Overpriced. Dinner portions were small compared with other hotels in Italy. (We’ve stayed at 7 others so far. ). All style, little substance. Will not return. "
