The accommodation and meals are excellent. The included breakfast had many many options, except hot options, like eggs or sausage or bacon included on the buffet. That said, there were many many Italian breakfast options.
The rooms were efficient and clean, and the bed was very comfortable.
The site lines to the valley are second to none, a commanding view over the sea, and this view is enjoyed greatly during the breakfast.
There is some walking to be done to get to the seaside. Walking back up would be a challenge with people with mobility issues or have physical challenges.
There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel if you are looking for a change, but it is a more significant hike to get into town to take advantage of restaurants and retail stores.
This hotel option is an excellent choice if you’re staying in this area.

Beautiful property set on a hill overlooking the sea. Lower floor rooms are like condos, private gated courtyard with sun chairs and patio table, rear private inner courtyard with outdoor shower. The infinity pool looks and feels like you’re at the beach, concrete looks like sand and pebbles. Nice outdoor terrace and beautiful solarium breakfast room. Dinner was delicious, starter, main and wine 70 euros for two! Nice base to tour the area (Mont San’Angelo and Vieste). Go eat at Caratino across the street, seaside!

The workers at the front desk was amazing super friendly with excellent costumer service! The room was beautiful with the sea view super clean and big!
At the restaurant they are not friendly at all, my daughter didn’t like her pasta and complained and the got mad saying that the chef knows what he’s doing and they didn’t offered nothing else! The next day none of the waiters want to get near as neither to take our order I have to call the manager from the restaurant in order to place our order, the manager personally take our order.
We stayed for a couple days and always give a gratuity to the waiters. Maybe they got offended with the gratuity we don’t know if we supposed to give them or not !

The views from this beautiful property is amazing. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. Now, the furniture in the rooms are poor in quality and very old. The mattresses are spring boards from the 70s. Very uncomfortable. The sofa bed was damaged and dirty. To summarize, The hotel staff are highly professionals and very cheerful. The grounds are equal to a 4-5star hotel. They just urgently need to update the interior of the rooms. Also, the pool is beautiful, but they used a material where scraping your skin is very easy and also your bathing will get damaged if you rub against the walls.

Larger complex than I assumed, we were checked in to an apartment instead of the booked hotel room, in which I felt a bit cut off. It was a great setting, with lovely views. A stylish pool and close proximity to the beach. It was quite as late in their season, but all staff we encountered were charming and polite.

Breathtaking view in the Gargano!

Il Porto is situated above the sea with a gorgeous panoramic view that can't be beat! The room was simple but comfortable. We were too tired to find a restaurant in town for dinner our first evening so ate in the hotel restaurant and it was incredible - I really wasn't expecting that. My experience has been that hotel restaurants are generally pretty average. This was very different! The food was prepared well, the service rivaled that of any top restaurants anywhere, and the dessert was the best I've had in Italy (which is saying a lot!) Also, Vanessa at the front desk was charming and very helpful in recommending places to eat in town and hikes in the Gargano. Highly recommend Il Porto!

A really relaxing break

We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and its staff, it was superb, however we did not hire a car and I think we would have seen more places if we had of had one, the local transport is quite scarce.
This said though the shuttle bus to the hotels beach is brilliant.
Not having a car meant that we had no choice but to relax and this hotel certainly encouraged this, everything about it was brilliant, if I had to find one critism, it would be the swimming pool, I did not like the fact that it had sloping sides and no steps to get in or out..the terraces are huge so maybe a hot tub on each one would be a good idea...

Virkelig god morgenmad og lækker pool.

Skønt sted med en masse lejligheder og fælles pool og restaurant (lækker, men dyr). Vi havde bestilt og betalt for havudsigt Vi fik en lejlighed i stuen, hvor der var begrænset havudsigt, så man følte sig lidt snydt.
Morgenmaden er virkelig lækker med mange varianter af brød, frisklavet æg og kaffe, masser af frugt, yoghurt, cereal, pålæg, ost, marmelade m.m. Den anden morgen havde vi ikke varmt vand, men det fik de fikset rimelig hurtigt.
Let at finde og gode parkeringsmuligheder.

Correct but not worth 4*

The hotel doesn’t meet the standards of a 4-star rating. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. We stayed in an apartment with two very small bedrooms and a combined living/kitchen area with a washing machine and dishwasher. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was correct, but overall, the experience did not meet our expectations for a 4-star hotel.
The view was amazing!

Wonderful stay

Wonderful two nights at Il Porto. We had two conecting rooms. Parking right outside the door, and own lougne area on the other side with breathtaking view. Clean and big rooms, only missing conditioner and lotion. Kids (9y and 6y) loved this resort. Fun pool and lovely garden with sun beds.

The dinner and breakfast were delicious, variety of options, Italian style. The staff were attentive both in the restaurant and front desk.

Ottima struttura, ben organizzata con posti auto assegnati e un ottima vista. Poco distante dal mare, è possibile raggiungere a piedi la spiaggia libera ma nel caso ci si volesse spostare nei dintorni si ha la necessità di un auto.
La struttura offre a tutti gli ospiti una zona con una piscina all'aperto e sdraio, l'unica pecca è che la piscina è davvero piccola.

Ottimo residence, appartamenti moderni e puliti, molti con giardino, bella la vista dal ristorante e dalla piscina che domina la baia di Mattinata. Personale ottimo. Unico appunto: il wi-fi funziona solo (così così) nel corpo centrale e negli spazi comuni, non negli appartamenti. Se la sera avete in mente di rilassarvi guardando qualcosa in streaming, meglio fare altri programmi. Anche la linea telefonica non riceve bene, almeno nel nostro appartamento, magari in altri in appartamenti in posizioni diverse funziona.

Séjour très agréable, hostel très bien situé.
Cadre très agréable, restaurant…..
Seul bémol: un séjour de 5 jours dans un appartement avec kitchenette, réservation pour 3 personnes : 2 assiettes, 2 verres, ni sel si poivre , pas de petit kit vaisselle, nous avons tout acheté et donc tout laisse sur place.
De plus la photo de profil de l’hôtel est une plage avec transat, on nous a proposé chaque jour des tickets pour une plage privée à 1 km sans nous Préciser que c’était payant. Et facturé 65€ à la fin du séjour.
La majorité des plages sont payantes en Italie donc pas de soucis pour régler, nous aurions juste aimé être prévenu.
Mais dans l’ensemble je recommande vivement cet hôtel que est un très bel établissement.
