Valentino Resort

Hotel highlights

• The kiddos are gonna have a ball. They've got mermaid lessons, circus lessons, a football academy, and don't even get us started on the park with inflatable and water features.

• If you're stuck between leaving the beach, and grabbing lunch, this place has you covered with a handy seabox

• Outdoor theater offering cabaret shows, musicals and parties

Location

• A fine sandy beach (private too, extra fancy), not exactly on your doorstep. But, how about a speedy shuttle bus? If you can't imagine it getting any better, there's a restaurant too.

• Just over an hour's drive from Bari International Airport - if you want suggestions on how to pass the time, how about a little siesta? Then get the party started when you're there!

Rooms

• Classy Rooms, Family Rooms, Premium Plus Rooms and Suites if you're feelin' fancy. Each with plenty of space, and a large terrace area for ground floor rooms, or a balcony for 1st and 2nd floor rooms.

• Every room also has...

  • Air-conditioning

  • A TV

  • Mini-fridge

  • Safe

Food & Drink

• Central Restaurant - load up your plates with a selection of buffet-style goodies, this restaurant is also very cool (the air-con is great!)

• Sciro Restaurant - offering a beachside lunch, top-tier views and top-tier Italian grub

• Sea Box - this one is for the dedicated beachers who can't bare to leave the beach to grab some lunch, just get one of these bad boys and you'll be soaking up the sun and covered in sand all day long!

• Three Bars - with the classic Italian drinkies (aka. lots of vino, and a cheeky Aperol) or if you want a bit of fizz, there are plenty of soft drinks

• Baby Kitchen - this place has thought of everything, with a little baby kitchen so you can sort the little guests out with their meals

Full Board is available, which includes visits to the Central Restaurant, one visit per week to Sciro, or the Jolly Formula includes unlimited access to Sciro.

Sports & Entertainment

• Two Swimming Pools - two extra large pools for extra fun in the sun, kitted out with hydromassages for spa vibes, and palm trees for the tropical vibes

• Mini Club - Bluserena will keep the kids busy all day long with activities, like mermaid school (how cool!), circus lessons, dance academy and a football academy

• Children's Park - no just any old playground where you get one side, and a swing. Here it's decked out with inflatables games, courses and water features for the little 'uns to run off some steam

• Sports - it's all literally kick off 'ere, there's a five-a-side footie pitch, archery, table tennis, actual tennis, fitness area with cardio machines and weight, yoga, walking paths, DJ fitness and trampolining

• Ethra Thalasso Spa - exclusive, and massive. It's so worth a visit, dip into one of the two swimming pools, get a massage, beauty treatment or sizzle away in the jacuzzi tub. There's even a Marina Aquatonic Path (no idea what this is, but it sounds cool)

• Daytime Entertainment - you won't want to be lazing around on the sunbed, get up and get stuck into dance lessons, inflatable courses, water aerobics and board games

• Evening Entertainment - this place ain't messing about when it comes to evening shows, with a huge outdoor theater with dance shows, circus acts, live music, parties, dancing, and musicals. We could actually go on all day.
