La Locanda del Carrubo, Mattinata Overview
La Locanda del Carrubo is located in Mattinata, Italy. Rated 7.0 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
La Locanda del Carrubo is a spa-focused retreat in Mattinata, Italy, set at Contrada Montelci snc just outside the town’s bustle. The hotel’s 7/10 guest rating based on five reviews suggests a stay that can be rewarding for the right traveler, with experiences varying from guest to guest. Check in runs from 3:30 PM to 11:30 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, so plan your coastal days accordingly.
What stands out here is the full-service spa and the chance to unwind after time on the Gargano coast. You can also keep active with the on-site fitness facilities, and the terrace and garden offer quiet outdoor space when you want a slower moment. Free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk help if your schedule shifts, while express check-out streamlines departure.
Dining is built around a simple rhythm: free breakfast is included, and the hotel has a bar/lounge plus options for drinks at the beach bar or poolside bar, which makes it easier to stay relaxed without planning every stop. For beach time, the free beach shuttle is a practical perk, especially if you’d rather spend energy on the shoreline than on logistics.
If you’re visiting for scenery, Baia delle Zagare is about 10 km away and Punta di Manaccora sits around 12 km from the property, both within easy reach for day trips. For a broader sense of the landscape, the coastal stretches of Gargano National Park are roughly 15 km out.
La Locanda del Carrubo is best for couples and solo travelers who want a calm base with spa downtime and straightforward access to the coast, rather than a purely urban, walk-everywhere holiday.
Important information
- All guests, including children, must be present at check-in and show their government-issued photo ID card or passport.
- Cash transactions at this property cannot exceed EUR 5000, due to national regulations. For further details, please contact the property using information in the booking confirmation.

Should You Book La Locanda del Carrubo?
Worth considering if you value a full-service spa experience and want easy access to beach time via the complimentary beach shuttle. With a 7/10 guest rating based on only 5 reviews, it’s a reasonable pick but not a slam-dunk—book with some flexibility and confirm details before arrival.
Best For
- Couples seeking a relaxing, spa-focused getaway with downtime in a sauna and spa tub
- Wellness-minded travelers who want on-site massages plus fitness facilities as part of their routine
- Beach-oriented travelers who prefer not to drive, using the private beach access and complimentary beach shuttle
- Guests who appreciate practical convenience like free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and free breakfast
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who require a large volume of recent feedback, since the rating is based on only 5 reviews
- Guests who need very early check-in, because check-in starts at 3:30 PM
- Those who want to rely solely on walking for beach access, since the hotel emphasizes a beach shuttle (even though it’s complimentary)
What to Expect
You arrive to a calm, resort-like setting with a terrace and garden, then settle in with the convenience of free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk for any late questions. The highlight is likely the spa routine: massages plus time in the sauna and spa tub, followed by a slower evening that fits the check-in window. Mornings start with free breakfast, and you can plan a beach day using the complimentary beach shuttle or the private beach option. Overall, the small but positive review base suggests a relaxing stay, though the limited number of reviews means it’s best to set expectations accordingly.
Location Intelligence
The hotel is in Mattinata (Contrada Montelci), and it’s set up for beach access through a private beach option and a complimentary beach shuttle. If you’re planning day trips, there is also an area shuttle available for a surcharge, which can help when you don’t want to manage transport on your own.
