The property is located in very close proximity of Centro Storico within 15 min walk. Parking is on street, a little challenging but obtainable. The one thing is very important for some people like my wife, not for me (I don’t care personally) is to have a blackouts for sleeping without the light flushing to your eyes. The owners of the place were very helpful and assisting us so I can not thank them enough.

Worst guest house experience in Bari

Honestly this is a poorly run guest house where the instructions for check in ran to four pages and of course it's self check in/ it's on a busy street on the second floor with lifts that can't fit people.and luggage in / reception is not manned and in fact the rooms are facing a busy street / the bathroom was very small I have tried to add pictures/ overall please go to a hotel and dont come here please don't make the mistake we made

The host was very communicative and very clear with check-in/out instructions. They made everything very easy! The room was as pictured. Nothing super fancy but worked for our trip. My only complaint was there was a weird smell in the bathroom. I think it was the city water. But other than that everything was a described.
