Le Ginestre Family Wellness Hotel

“Elegant hotel against the backdrop of the beautiful foresta umbra”

Really nice hotel, very clean and bright rooms. The staff were discrete but very helpful. We used the wellness center where the therapist was very professional.

Really nice hotel, very clean and bright rooms. The staff were discrete but very helpful. We used the wellness center where the therapist was very professional. We also used the gym and found it to be very well equipped. The location was perfect for us as we had our car. We were equidistant to Vieste and Peschici. The greatest surprise was the foresta umbra. We will definitely return.

“Beyond our expectations!”

The hotel is located about 20 minutes drive from both Vieste and Peschici, so it is far enough from the hustle and bustle and yet relatively close to both of them.

The hotel is located about 20 minutes drive from both Vieste and Peschici, so it is far enough from the hustle and bustle and yet relatively close to both of them. The surrounding area is relatively poor in terms of places to eat so you need the car for literally everything. For us it was not a problem, because we like active holidays. The whole place gives you the sense of calmness and relaxation. The outdoor areas are very well taken care of, the garden, the pool, everything was very clean and neat. The pool (outdoor) was big and had enough sun beds and the water was of a pleasant temperature. There is a bar at the pool where you can take drinks and snacks. The room was nothing special in terms of size and decoration but it was kept clean and had an enormous balcony with a side sea view. Towels were changed every day. The breakfast was our biggest positive surprise. Having read many negative comments about breakfast we were a bit suspicious but it proved to be very rich in terms of both choice and quality. The focaccia that they make every day is simply delicious as well as the croissants and cakes. In terms of savory they also offer eggs, bacon, ham and cheese, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Sweet section is much richer and it includes wide selection of croissants with marmalades and creams and few different types of home made cakes. There were also many gluten free options but we did not try them. The coffee is from the coffee machine but it was more than decent. The only minus were the juices from the machine that were very waterish and tasteless. We did not dine at the hotel although they offered dinner as well. There is a sky bar on the last floor serving snacks at lunch time which we found very convenient. The food is fair priced but do not expect miracles in terms of quality. The hotel has a deal with one of the private lidos and a navetta that takes you there at predefined timetable. We did not use that service because we liked changing beach every day. The staff is very polite and attentive, always with a smile. We were given early check in (by 12 instead of 4 pm) which was very welcome after a 3-hour drive from the airport of Bari. All in all we were very satisfied with our stay and would happily book again next time.

“Very nice place”

Good structure in a quite, wonderful place, with some old rooms still to be refurbished. Food is not of the quality you may expect. Top quality receptionists and room ladies, nice waiters, while the chief waiter has not the required standing and skills
