We were too late for the orchids, which was a shame. A month earlier might have shown some (we saw none) but there were some interesting and novel flowers along the route. The birdsong in the Foresta Umbra was tremendous. In Vieste the first night we chose to eat at the adjacent Ristorante 19. Had an excellent meal and avoided a cloudburst! The second night we went for a Neopolian pizza at Habituè, near the hotel, where we had some of the best pizza we've ever eaten. The trabuccos were a very good part of the first day walk. Monte Sant'Angelo was a fascinating old town and we saw as much of it as possible in the short time we were there.
The Gargano Peninsula walk is an excellent trip with lots of variety and highpoints: beautiful beaches and cliffs; charming old towns to explore; a very important, mature forest; lots of solitude mixed with excellent hotels and food.
We enjoyed the variety of walks, coastal, forest woodland and countryside. There was an abundance of wild flowers and beautiful views and interesting cultural villages. A good mix of sights in a remote and relatively unknown part of Italy.

A walking holiday with great variety. Vieste and its Trabucchi provide an interesting starting point. Good choice of restaurants. We had excellent food at Gustus in Corso Lorenzo Fazzini and in the small but lively La Galea opposite the Palace hotel. Memorable highlights of our trip were:
Being in Vieste for the Festival of Santa Maria di Merino and witnessing the colourful procession through the streets and along the beach.
The tranquility and constantly changing vegetation of Forest Umbra. A pleasant surprise to eventually emerge in a very English style Beech forest, all the while serenaded by birdsong.
The wonderful array of wild flowers, particularly on the walk up to Monte Sant'Angelo with the scent of wild rosemary, thyme and yellow broom hanging in the air.
The excellent Hotel Il Porto. Fine views, fine dining and pretty gardens. A lovely way to end the holiday.
A lovely trip - meticulously organised. The Gargano Peninsula is a remote and peaceful place - just perfect for a relaxing walking holiday. The Umbra Forest is a very special place and to stay right in the heart of it was a very memorable experience. We enjoyed some wonderful walks, great weather and superb cuisine. Thanks for another great holiday Inntravel!
Enjoyed the variety of walks and accommodation. Included dinners were great. Loved the wildflowers and saw about 9 or more varieties of orchid particularly on last three days of walking. Had a good meal at Aqua in Vieste. Two beach restaurants on first walk were open as was the refugio on second walk.
Excellent and varied walking across the Gargano Peninsula. One of the highlights for us was the number of different orchid varieties on show. The restaurant Vecchia Vieste was excellent and very friendly and we would recommend it. Also the pizza in Gusto in Vieste was very good.
The coastal sections we really enjoyed and would highly recommend the walk around Vieste and to the northwest. Part of the charm we experienced may be due to the time of year, when there are almost no tourists around. During the summer months, I imagine these areas would be very busy judging by the number of seasonal campgrounds and restaurants along the route. Similarly the forested area in the Umbra Forest next to the Elda Hotel is well worth hiking in and quite unique for us. We would both recommend exploring this area. Day 4 - Hike to Monte Sant' Angelo - also an enjoyable walk offering a mix of forest and open hiking. The village of Monte Sant Angelo is well worth exploring and after 2 nights at the Elda Hotel, was a welcome change.
The highlight has to be the two days spent in the Foresta Umbra. An unforgettable experience.
