Rodi Garganico accommodation from NZ$121

If you are heading to Rodi Garganico, your mates will never forgive you if you don't visit the Duomo Lucera. The Hotel Villa Imperiale and Palace Lucera Hotel are good options for travellers as they are within a 100 metres radius of Duomo Lucera.

The Hotel Residence Tramonto and Villa Vittoria are near the Nautilus Beach.

The B&B Casa Matino is located 30 kilometres from the main part of Rodi Garganico. Alternatively, the Agriturismo Giorgio is 30 kilometres away. Some more hotel options worth looking into are the Le Chiancate and the Baja Papaja Villaggio & Resort.

The wider Puglia region is definitely worth seeing too. Visit the ruins, castles and traditional villages in Puglia, or simply head off and admire the area's lovely rural landscapes, beaches, coastal plains and lakes. More active types may enjoy mountain biking in this part of Italy.

Peschici is 13 kilometres to the east of Rodi Garganico and is where you'll find the Church of Our Lady of Loreto, Peschici Castle and Abbey of Santa Maria di Kalena. The Le Ginestre Family Wellness Hotel and Maritalia Hotel Club Village are just some of the accommodation alternatives in Peschici. Alternatively, you could stay in Vieste, 25 kilometres to the southeast of Rodi Garganico, where you can choose from the Residence Il Falco and Forte Hotel. If you're staying in Vieste, set aside some time to check out the Umbra Forest, Santa Maria di Merino Sanctuary and Vieste Harbour.

Travellers planning on flying through Karol Wojtyla Airport might like to book a bed at the Hotel Riviera or the Best Western La Baia Palace Hotel, both of which are a short ride away.
