Dakar Living Hotel, Vasto Marina

A four-star hotel at Vasto Marina on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo, about 150 m from the long sandy beach. It has around 50 rooms, a restaurant, a spa, an outdoor pool with a children's pool, and free parking.

The old town of Vasto, on the hill above, is a five-minute drive or a short bus ride. It is built around a 15th-century castle and has a cliff-top walk, the Loggia Amblingh, with views along the coast, plus good bars and restaurants. The marina below the hotel has more seafood places along the seafront.
