Porto di Mare B&B in Giovinazzo, open June–October.
Porto di Mare B&B sits directly on Giovinazzo's waterfront, meaning your ceremony can take place steps from the Adriatic Sea with genuine salt-water breezes—no artificial backdrops needed.
This intimate hotel combines guest accommodations with event hosting, eliminating logistics of coordinating separate venues.
The 4.8-star rating reflects consistent execution for couples prioritizing seaside authenticity over elaborate production.
The B&B is on a street very close to the historic center and the sea in Giovinazzo. It has its own parking, but it’s also possible to find spots nearby. The room was spotlessly clean. The service was very friendly, with a good breakfast. We recommend this place and will definitely come back on our next trip to Puglia.
