Exclusive experience to discover the Gargano National Park

The Gargano National Park is a precious territory rich in naturalistic and cultural diversity, a “mountain island” lowered in the center of the Adriatic Sea. There are many ways to get to know it and live it together with its inhabitants, keepers of history and traditions, that’s why at Elda Hotel we are constantly striving to guarantee you authentic local experiences and directly in contact with the characters and identifying places of Gargano National Park, land with wonderful coasts and surrounded by the sea but which hides, as in a casket, surprising treasures of beauty and deep meanings.

Walks and trekking, mountain bike or horseback excursions in the Umbra Forest, visits to historic villages, monuments, artisan shops, traditional cooking workshops and tastings of typical products, walks along the lakes of the Gargano or between coastal towers and trebuchets.

From woods to coastal paths, from terraced landscapes to lakes, you just have to choose your favorite way to get to know the Gargano National Park among the many activities proposed: trekking, Nordic walking, orienteering, horseback riding, but also relaxing walks to spend some in a nature luxuriant and surprising.

You will discover hidden corners of the wonderful villages of the Gargano, authentic places that are the result of popular architecture but also real treasures of history and art with Mediterranean influences.
