If being close to the beach on a budget is on your checklist, then Vela Velo is the place for you. Eight of us stayed there in late August just for a night and were happy with our choice. It is right opposite the beach and included in the hotel room rate is the ability to use the hotel's private beach area with sunlounges and umbrellas.
I shared a double room with air conditioning which cost us 10 euro extra. The room was clean with a good shower and bathroom. Our room also had a TV. We paid 70 euro for a double room which included breakfast in the morning.
Breakfast was served in an outdoor garden area which was off a bar and some indoor tables, and comprised of a choice of toast, ham, cheese, croissants, yoghurt, sweet biscuits, cereal and pieces of fruit. The person manning the bar made coffees on request.
The hotel is about 1km out of the centre of Vieste which makes a pleasant walk. The hotel also provides bike access as well as clothes drying racks to hang your bathers and towels on and a jacuzzi which we didn't get a chance to use. There is also parking for those with cars.
