Mattinata
Nestled in the heart of the Gargano National Park, Mattinata, often called the 'White Butterfly' due to its characteristic whitewashed houses, offers a truly authentic Puglian experience. Here, the verdant embrace of ancient olive groves gracefully descends to meet the glistening turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea, creating a landscape of unparalleled natural beauty.

Choose your base before your dates
A town-centre apartment and a countryside home make very different holidays. Compare the address on the booking map with the places you want to visit.
- Without a car: check walking routes, station access and your airport transfer.
- With children: check bedroom layout, stairs, outdoor space and pool access.
- Working remotely: ask about Wi-Fi and a suitable workspace for that home.
After booking
Keep your confirmation and complete the requested online check-in. Share your expected arrival time and tell us about essential access needs before travelling.
Where to stay in Mattinata
- Mattinata città — Compare the precise address with the station, shops and places you plan to visit. Ask about street noise, the floor and lift access. A practical city base can reduce transfers, but the route to each attraction depends on the individual location.
- Costa di Mattinata — Choose this area if the coast is central to your trip. Compare the exact beach or waterfront access, rather than relying on the city name. Confirm your route into town and whether you will need a car for dinner or shopping.
- Gargano — Choose the countryside for more separation from the town. Check the final access road, parking and the distance to groceries before booking. Confirm the facilities of that particular home; a countryside location alone does not include a pool or garden.
Getting around Mattinata
Give coastal journeys and countryside excursions room in your itinerary. Compare road routes and current bus services, then check access to your particular beach or activity. Boat trips, outdoor routes and beach access can depend on weather and operating arrangements.
What to see
- Stunning beaches like the Bay of Vignanotica and Mattinata Beach.
- Immersive hiking and nature walks within Gargano National Park.

Choosing your travel season
The best time to visit Mattinata is during the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm for swimming and hiking, the crowds are thinner, and the olive groves are at their most vibrant. The summer months (July-August) offer hot weather perfect for beach holidays, but also draw larger crowds.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book without entering dates?
Yes. Browse the published properties first, then add your dates and guests to check availability. An undated listing is not a confirmation that the home is available for your trip.
Are all homes close to the centre or beach?
Check each property's address and map. The destination name covers different locations, including the town and surrounding countryside. Choose the home around the places you actually want to visit.
Is parking or a pool included?
Only the amenities on the individual listing apply. Confirm private or shared use, opening dates and any separate charges. Ask the team about a particular requirement before booking.
How do I check the total and cancellation terms?
Enter both dates and the full guest count in the booking engine. Review the total price, mandatory charges and the cancellation terms of the selected rate before payment.
Plan your days
Airport transfers, boat trips, chefs and other experiences need a separate enquiry. Tell us your dates, group size and budget so we can check options; availability and costs are confirmed separately.
