Serviced Apartments in Vieste

This pleasing marine resort town is situated in the Gargano National Park in the Foggia province of Apulia and boasts picturesque beaches, delightful architecture, a beautiful natural environment and some intriguing landmarks surrounded by macabre tales and fascinating legends. All the makings of an unforgettable vacation for anyone considering a serviced residence or aparthotel in the ancient heart of Vieste.

Take a wander through the town, literally on the doorstep of your Vieste apartment rental or holiday let. Stroll through narrow alleyways and up steep flights of steps until you reach the Cathedral of the Assumption. This 1000 year old Romanesque structure houses the beautiful wooden Santa Maria di Merino statue which is the protector of the city and well worth a look. The Convent of St. Francis is a delightful structure which was actually built into the city’s defensive walls.

A more macabre sight in the town is The Stone Of Blood And Tears. This stone is said to be where five townsfolk were beheaded by a band of pirates in the mid 1500s. Further on you will see the castle which overlooks the sea. This mid 1200s defensive structure was built by Frederick II of Vieste and is now used by the Navy. The castle occasionally hosts public exhibitions and the views from here are just breathtaking.

From your service apartment or holiday letting in Vieste you also have really convenient access to the town’s stunning beaches where you can enjoy long stretches of sand, crystalline blue waters and plenty of sea carved grottos and archways to explore. Another fascinating feature which you will find close to shore is Pizzomunno, a vast stone monolith rising out of the water. Legend has it that Pizzomunno was a fisherman who fell in love with a beautiful girl called Cristalda but the sea sirens were so enraged by jealousy that they murdered her. The pain of the loss of his beautiful love caused Pizzomunno to petrify and here he has stood ever since watching over the town.
