Il Giardino della Foglia

Owner is super kind. Using google translator so it is very easy to talk when you do not know italian. She was very helpful, picked us up at the airport in late night. Room was very clean, bathroom awesome. Breakfast was light and ok.

Bed was so so, sometimes noisy of landing airplanes. But really, the place is very good and all these things can be improved but does not make is worse or something

Breakfast was OK, typical European breakfast, no frills. But the garden was lovely, and the owner was very nice. Rooms are private, behind the main house, and we were quite comfortable.

We had considerable confusion finding the property - lots of unnamed streets in the area. A sign on the property or better instructions would be helpful. Not the greatest neighborhood, but the owners have done the best they can given the area.

The host was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment.

Absolutely charming owners! Elizabeth, one of the two owners, invited me to have lunch at her private flat. For this reason I want tocstay there again next time. This place has only two rooms (each with a private bathroom) next to each other in a garden pavillon plus a spacy place to sit inside in front of the two rooms and a shared kitchen where a refridgerator, a sink, a two burner electric stove and a self service breakfast buffet is provided. The garden isn't very big: there is a table with two benches underneath a shady roof and there are a few beachbeds. I tried to find a shower in the garden, but I didn't see one.

By air the place is less than 2km away from the airport, but because it is situated between two train lines and a four lane highway, one has to drive about 7km to the airport. If one is travelling on a bicycle like me, distances become even longer due to the strange routes one has to ride: while Bari center is only about 8km away by air, by car it is already 13km and by bicycle it is around 20km. Although on the map it looks good for taking an early flight, it certainly isn't! If planes aproach Bari airport from the sea and start into the direction of the sea, one sits directly underneath the flying planes. Noise is so loud that one cannot hear one's own voice. But luckily there aren't too many planes and at night (20pm-7am) there aren't any. The place is - at least at nights or if planes approach from and start into the opposite direction - surprisingly quiet: one cannot hear the four lane highway and trains can be heard only when sitting in the garden, but not inside.

Very clean, comfortable. The host was lovely and offered us shuttle services to wherever we needed since we relied on public transport

The location is better for car owners, train station cannot be reached by foot

It was superb week in puglia. We stayed for seven days. Room was great, everything was great. We really liked the owner. Alessandra was kind and helpful and kind hearted. We also rented a car. Location is on remote place, so you need a car. But the owner also provided a shuttle from an airport the first day late at night. And she also did ask us about what kind of breakfast we like and she did take care of that. We really loved it there. 🙂

The host Alessandra was amazing, made one feel at home, so attentive to details, the place was super clean, close to Bari airport, as we only needed it for one night. However I'm planning to return to Bari just for the pleasure of staying in it again.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Everything was excellent, great option for late arrival or early departure

It feels very cozy! We lovely host, super close to the airport. Very clean and also very close to the beach and the city.
