Excellent location, very close to the beaches and good restaurants. Very clean place, my room was cleaned daily. The host was super nice and helpful. He provided a very good breakfast with homemade cakes by his wife. There was wi-fi and tv. Overall very good quality 🙂 You can take a direct bus to the city's beach.He has had a service for airport transfer which we have used. He also has helped us with some tips about how to reach the center.

Nothing!

The room was very clean, modern and spacious. Continental breakfast was good. Large secure parking area and big outdoor space.

Could use large hot water tank for showers.

The host Gianni was absolutely charming and very helpful. He provided a very good breakfast with homemade cakes by his wife. He made suggestions for restaurants and advised taking a bus into central Bari from the bus stop just down the road. The B&B had a lovely sitting out area too.

Excellent location. Very close to the beaches and good restaurants. Shops and a laundromat very close too. Bus stop was close so access to the old town was easily accessible. The host was very friendly, caring and always available.

All good. No negatives.

Very kind and helpful owners. New furniture in the room, clean and cozy.

Maria and Gianni run a very clean, modern, comfortable BnB with a lot of heart. They went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant. When my flight was delayed well past midnight, Gianni still provided the agreed shuttle service even though it was so very late (by then early) saving me from a very long taxi line. And when I wasn't feeling well one day, they made sure I had what I needed and was okay. Anytime I had a question on where to go, they had suggestions and I was even lent an umbrella for the beach. The rooms have tall ceilings, good A/C and pleasant lighting, modern fixtures and are very clean. The mattress was comfortable and I was able to sleep well, even in the heat wave. There are only four rooms so it feels very cozy and not too crowded or like a typical "tourist" experience. Smoking is not allowed in the BnB, which I also appreciated. Bathrooms are private, not shared. Another big plus. Location is also excellent: I have been in Bari a few times, but was delighted to explore this area near the lighthouse, good restaurants, several public (and private) beaches and it is very close to a bus stop with buses to the center and the main train station or old town Bari (Bari vecchia). Tickets can be bought online or at the tabbacheria nearby. It is also not far to the grocery store and nearby cinema. I didn't have or need a car, but with a car, it would be easy too. Breakfast was a delicious cornetto/other fruit and juice etc. and coffee made for you by the host. In a nice breakfast room. Bruce the dog is also a pleasant addition in greeting the guests and follows Gianni like a shadow. There is also a very large garden with a nice seating area outside. I had a very pleasant stay - and plan to come back next time I am in Bari.

The bathroom in the single room is a little tricky if you are a tall person. The toilet is quite near the sink vanity - not much knee/leg room, but if you fly budget airlines...you'll be fine.
