The village of Mattinata is a renowned seaside resort in Gargano known for its scenic wonders. In its historic center, it is worth noting the Mantuano Palace and the parish church dedicated to Santa Maria della Luce, which houses a very beautiful canvas depicting the Madonna.

Mattinata is a very lively town in the summer. I recommend spending the afternoon in the small historic center of Mattinata and having a good artisanal ice cream.
