Located on the Ionian coast just south of Gallipoli, beautiful resort-style hotel with super all-inclusive package situated on the fabulous sandy beach.
The Vivosa Apulia Resort is a welcome addition to our selection of hotels in Puglia. Located on the Ionian coast just south of beautiful Gallipoli within a protected natural park, this hotel offers great accommodation, super facilities and a wonderful sandy beach. The hotel operates a luxury all-inclusive package ensuring guests have everything they need from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave, making it very easy to simply relax without having to worry about an extras bill on check-out.
You may decide to stay put or explore some of this fascinating area of Southern Italy – for romantics, and those looking to stretch their legs, a 30-minute walk along the sandy beach will take you to pretty Torre San Giovanni. As you are on the west coast, prepare yourselves for some totally amazing sunsets where the red sun just drops into the water. Ugento is the nearest town and is full of history as it was a major Roman trading port, Santa Maria di Leuca is a short hop and the most southerly point in Italy and other beautiful towns such as Gallipoli, Otranto and Lecce are all easily reached.
