Mattinata, Italy · Handwritten Collection · Near Luxury



Baia delle Zagare sits in a panoramic bay on the Gargano promontory in Puglia, between towering white cliffs and Aleppo pines on the coast road between Mattinata and Vieste. A young Apulian boatman discovered the sea-accessible-only inlet in 1957, then marked as Mergoli's Bay; after years of work on steep rocky terrain, the hotel opened in 1969 and took its name from the zagare citrus blossoms in its park.
