Sunise woke me up, what a nice view from my little terrace. I took the early morning to walk around the empty alleys of Vieste and finally going to the harbor to do a little boattour around the coast.
Back in Vieste I just walked around the old and the not that old city and finally spent the afternoon on the beach.
Spot my apartment – it´s on the left of the yellow hotel, behind that staircase to the hotel pool and little beach.
While I´m sitting in front of my trullo near Alberobello having breakfast, in my mind I´m going back some days to Vieste and to driving that winding road along the coast of Gargano.
I was looking for all those heavenly beach, but most of them seem to belong to hotels or campsites and weren´t that easily spotted from above. So I took a boat-tour the next morning. Leaving from the post of Vieste we drove all along the coastline, into some of the caves (Grotta) and I finally saw some of those well hidden beaches. We even made a stop at one…

Vieste
You have never heard of Guglionesi? Me neither, but I found the most beautiful B & B there! I didn´t want to drive all the way from Caserta to Vieste in one day and decided to have a little detour around Molise. A beautiful county with lots of towns and villages on the top of the mountains.
After a coffeebreak in Campobasso and a short look at the closed Amphitheater in Larino I arrived in the little town Guglionesi and found the B & B Valle di Gioia with the help of my friendly hosts. After a warm welcome by the dog of the house, I felt instantly at home – olive trees everywhere, chicken running around and the most stunning views from the terrace: from the sea to the mountains of the Abruzzes. And they didn´t even pay me to say that, they just gave me fresh figs from the garden for breakfast and a cute dog to cuddle!
