The pleasure of having Vieste around you
Tra Cielo e Mare brings together a central seafront position and the intimacy of just six rooms. The historic building has been restored with oak, stone and natural fabrics, giving the interiors a calm, contemporary feel.
We would choose it for independent couples who like a swim or an outing during the day, then an easy walk to dinner. The shared terrace gives you somewhere to pause, while a Superior sea-facing room adds the pleasure of your own outdoor space.
Our recommendation: four or five nights in a Superior room with a private terrace or balcony. Alternate exploring the Gargano with days that begin slowly and stay close to Vieste.
Planning your stay
Who will enjoy Tra Cielo e Mare?
Atmosphere
Contemporary Mediterranean rooms
Natural materials and restrained interiors within a historic building, with the town’s life just outside.
The setting
Vieste from morning to evening
Step out to the waterfront, cafés and old-town lanes. Staying centrally makes short outings part of the day.
Exploring
A settled base for the Gargano
Allow time for a boat trip, Peschici and the Foresta Umbra, with a hire car or selected excursions arranged around your stay.
Rooms & views
Choose the outlook you will enjoy
With only six rooms, the useful distinction is the view and your private outdoor space. Our first suggestion for a longer stay is one of the two Superior categories.
Direct sea view · 23 m²
Superior Terrazza sul Mare
A private terrace facing the sea and lighthouse, with cushioned outdoor seating. Our choice for relaxed time outside between outings.
Direct sea view · 25 m²
Superior Balcone sul Mare
A private sea-facing balcony and a little more indoor space. A strong choice for couples who enjoy watching the water from their room.
Side sea view · 18 m²
Classic Vista Mare
A private balcony with a table and chairs, looking principally over the square and town, with the sea to the side.
Also available: the 17 m² Classic Vista Borgo has a window overlooking the square and town. All published categories have a king-size bed, a shower bathroom, air conditioning and heating. We match the individual room to your priorities.
Breakfast & life at the property
Start with the lighthouse in view
Breakfast is included and served on the shared terrace, looking towards the lighthouse island. It is an inviting place to begin the day before heading to the beach or setting off into the Gargano.
The terrace remains available to guests throughout the day. Leave time to return with a book, enjoy the outlook and decide how you would like to spend the evening.
Dinner in Vieste
For lunch and dinner, the town is part of the appeal. Explore restaurants among the old lanes and beside the water, with local suggestions to help you find your bearings.
Location & exploring
Marina Piccola on your doorstep
Tra Cielo e Mare stands on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele beside Marina Piccola, close to the historic centre. The waterfront, cafés and restaurants make it an easy base for enjoying Vieste on foot.
Stay local, then explore further
Walk through the old town towards its sea-facing viewpoints, or make for the sandy shore beside Pizzomunno. A boat outing reveals the cliffs and caves along the coast.
A hire car adds freedom for Peschici, the Foresta Umbra and Monte Sant’Angelo. For a stay centred on Vieste and selected outings, we can arrange transfers and guided excursions instead.
We agree the final approach and luggage arrangements before arrival. Rooms are reached by stairs; for guests driving, paid parking is arranged separately from the property.
