Gattarella Resort transforms your wedding into an unforgettable celebration with its breathtaking Gargano seascape. From beachside ceremonies to scenic receptions, we tailor every detail to your unique story, promising a day of pure joy and beauty.
A wedding is unique when it reflects the bride and groom’s lifestyle and love story. Starting with the location is the most important decision to make after deciding to marry.
The Gattarella Resort offers you the unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty and romance of the Gargano’s blue seas from different vantage points during the ceremony and reception on your special day. You can say “I do” on the white sands of our private beach, or with the panorama of the Gulf of Vieste behind you, or among the pine and olive trees on the hillside routing the sea. We will take care of everything else.
Get married with the soothing sound of the sea in the background, the sand under your feet, and the sun's warm caress on your skin. A beach wedding inspires ever-changing creative choices. Gattarella’s long sandy beach is perfect for creating striking and elegant backdrops to frame your civil ceremony. We have the best wedding planners and florists on hand to transform your wishes into tasteful, refined, and original ideas.
Suspended between sky and sea For the reception, you can choose between the spectacular Sala Belvedere and its ocean-view terrace, which can accommodate up to 350 guests, or the smaller and more intimate Sala Orcio with a charming panoramic bow window and outdoor gazebos. We assure you that our stunning location will make you feel at home with nature. Every wedding is a recipe that can be put together in endless ways to make it a personal and unique experience. Planning a wedding is a bit like cooking: we do it with passion, creativity, careful selection of ingredients, and attention to detail.
When deciding on the menu, our Chef is available to work with the bride and groom to create a truly sensory experience of scents, colours, and flavours that reinterpret the genuine Apulian tradition of land and sea.
The panoramic lounge terrace is a green and elegant space that can be customized with themed arrangements and decorations. This natural living room overlooks the sea and, at dusk, is filled with magic from the lights of Vieste on the horizon.
If you opt for a religious ceremony, the surrounding area is dotted with romantic countryside churches, and in Vieste is the beautiful cathedral overlooking the promontory: both attractive options just a short way away from Gattarella, where you can come back to enjoy your aperitif and reception.
