Surrounded by acres of pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, VOI Porto Giardino Resort welcomes holidaymakers in the Italian region of Puglia, where coastal activities meet plenty of cultural and sightseeing opportunities. In the ancient town of Monopoli travellers may stroll on the longest stretch of the Via Traiana road, visit the 16th century Castle of Charles V hosting an art exhibition and cultural events, or admire the 11th century abbey-fortress of St. Stephen. Decorated in warm pastel tones, the en suite rooms feature a veranda or a balcony, and come fitted with TVs and air conditioning. The restaurant serves local and internationally inspired dishes which can be savoured indoors or at the poolside terrace alongside refreshments and Italian coffee. Leisure moments may be spent at the on-site solarium or swimming pool, while sun bathing may be enjoyed at the nearby Contrada Lamandia beach.
