Gargano

Often called “the spur of Italy’s boot,” the Gargano Peninsula is one of southern Italy’s most breathtaking natural treasures. From the villa, the drive itself is part of the experience — winding through the shimmering salt flats of Margherita di Savoia before climbing into a landscape of forested hills, turquoise coves, and white limestone cliffs that plunge into the Adriatic.

Along the coast, you’ll find the enchanting seaside towns of Vieste and Peschici, known for their sandy beaches, winding lanes, and cliffside views. Further inland, the ancient town of Monte Sant’Angelo stands as a spiritual landmark — home to the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site said to mark the very place where the Archangel Michael appeared centuries ago.

Whether you’re seeking sun-drenched beaches, scenic drives, or a journey through Italy’s sacred history, the Gargano offers a glimpse of Puglia at its most wild and awe-inspiring.
