Charming B&B Quintessenza in the Heart of Vieste

We never imagined discovering the Aristotle’s fifth element, while also exploring the hidden bays and gulfs of the province of Foggia in Apulia, but it was our lucky day! Quintessence, or as our hosts lovely named it “Quintessenza’’, served as an inspiration for this charming place in Vieste. If you find it hard to pronounce, try to follow up on the names of the Quintessenza family members! This lovely B&B is run by Alessandro and Vanessa, and their three children: Jacopo, Niccolò and Joel. Get ready to experience a warm Mediterranean welcome!

With Quintessenza Comes The Best Sunset View

Vieste always feels like a special magical place in Apulia, and from the Quintessenza’s panoramic terrace we had an overlook over the town and the bay. Quite romantic, especially after sunset when the city lights turn on, and you can hear the distant sounds of the waves. If you wish to explore the streets, the centre is not far away.

Vieste Beach Time at Pizzomunno

The smell of the sea, always lures us to the beach, so we headed out to Pizzomunno to also see the 25 m high rocky monolith. After a joyful refreshment, we heard of a local tale about a man Pizzomunno, who turned into this monolith after losing a loved one in a grieving tragedy. Quite a story (including some vengeful mermaids!), but since it is hard to be sad under the Apulian sun, with a smile we continued our trip to the South!
