B&B Mercadante

The guesthouse and the hosts are top! The guesthouse is very new, modern, very robustly built (no cheap feeling), very secure, impecably clean. The hosts, Gianni and Maria, are wonderful people! Gianni really went all the way to make my stay perfect, from transportation, to breakfast, to fun discussions, to all the help he gave me. Highly recommended accomodation, well connected by bus to the city center, with beaches nearby also. Also, the coffee, fruit and cakes of Maria were excellent. And the garden has comfy chairs and a table, good to have a beer outside at the end of the day. Other things to mention: the rooms have good blinds, if you like to sleep in 100% darkness, you can have it! The rooms are tall, which creates a feeling of space, and the airco air does not bother you with direct draft, if you like to sleep with airco on during the night. One last thing: I like the tiles in the garden! Overall, excellent value for money!

The bed is a bit too soft for my personal taste.

A wonderful, clean, safe and spacious space, with amazing hosts who were there to help with anything needed. We are so happy we came across it and would recommend 100%. A stone's throw from a beach club and the breakfast was so yummy (with home-made pastries)! Bruce the dog was a particular highlight :)

The accommodation was great - the room was spacious, everything was very clean, modern and new. The host, Giovanni, made us feel more than welcome, picked us up at the airport (paid transfer option) even though it was late, provided us with water, and explained everything, he was really nice, thank you! The breakfast is Italian (sweet) and consists mainly of fresh pastry, which is delicious, yogurts, and homemade pies. Giovanni makes great coffee and even prepared tea upon our special request - thank you once again.

The location is somewhat distant from the city center, but the bus stop is really close and Giovanni explained to us where to find it and what buses to take. It takes probably 10 mins to get to the city center. Those buses also go to the Bari Centrale Station, from where you can go to other cities (Polignano a Mare, Alberobello).
