Borgo Due Mari

Central apartment, everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. Even though the street in front of the building is a busy pedestrian street, the flat itself is completely silent, I could not hear any noise from outside. The owner was really kind and flexible: although we were 20 minutes late after the end of the check-in time, he came back quickly and let us in. He prepared the Italian breakfast (fresh croissant, coffee, water) in the morning at the time of our request. He helped us carry the luggage up to the 3rd floor. Bathroom was nice, large and clean. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were also clean. In terms of value for money, renting the room was worth it as the room was quite cheap.

The apartment does not have dedicated parking spots. In Taranto everybody parks on the street, so finding a free spot can be tricky sometimes. The apartment complex has no elevator and the apartment is on the 3rd floor. It is one large apartment with separate bedrooms, but the bedrooms are rented out to different guests. There are common spaces like the kitchen that also serves as the corridor leading to the bathrooms, so you will meet the other guests occasionally, for example when you want to go back from your bathroom to your bedroom. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, so you do not have to share that. You might also hear the other guests: I woke up in the middle of the night when they came back to the apartment, and also in morning to the sound of them having breakfast in their kitchen, chatting.

Very big room and great little balcony over looking the street below.

Only downer would be the three flights of stairs

Manager was very accommodating with breakfast. Room was gorgeous and location was in the heart of this ljvy town .

I write when I travel and there wasn't really a good place for me to settle in with my computer.

perfect location, nice old but well maintained building, nice owners,

Stunning traditional building right on the main pedestrian street through the centre of Taranto. The rooms were incredible with ornate high ceilings and loads of original features including perfectly preserved tile floors. Owners were lovely, and incredibly communicative and helpful. Great stay, thank you!

It’s on the 4th floor and only accessible by stairs. Was fine for us but just an fyi if relevant. Parking is on-street public spaces paid via meter or app, and as the guesthouse is on a pedestrian street this is a short walk away. Again we didn’t mind at all, but good to know for those booking.
