Hotel Cristalda

Perched just 50 meters from Vieste’s sandy shore, Hotel Cristalda sits steps from the Pizzomunno cliff and the Gargano Promontory. Minutes from Vieste Castle, the Cathedral and Chianca Amara, this beach hotel is a pet-friendly, family-friendly base for exploring the national park and seaside town.

Small and straightforward with sea-facing terraces and a relaxed lounge vibe, Cristalda’s rooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, private bathrooms with showers and bidets, safes and desks. Daily housekeeping and a 24-hour front desk keep stays easy; an elevator makes access simple.

Claim a spot on the hotel’s private sandy beach or unwind on the outside terrace after a day of sun. There’s a cocktail bar and lounge, a coffee shop for quick bites, concierge and tour/ticket assistance, playrooms for kids, plus luggage storage and dry cleaning.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property, and free self-parking is provided onsite for guests traveling by car.

An on-site restaurant serves evening meals and a newer fine-dining option opens onto the terrace for coastal views. Grab snacks at the café by day and finish with a drink at the bar/lounge as the sun sets over the sea.
