Room was clean but to be clear the reservation is just for a room with entry via sliding doors in a lower level. No breakfast or even coffee and no pool- the “access” must be to a public facility elsewhere. So $80 for a room by the airport is fine but that’s really all you’re getting. And the location right by the highway is convenient in ways and car noise didn’t bother me but there is reason charm and although it’s not far from the ocean, it’s not possible to walk nor the most charming stretch of coast. But fine for a night before an early flight.

Perfect stay for us, including our 1 year old, after a late night arrival into Bari airport. The owner, Leonardo, offered to collect us from the airport for an additional fee which was really helpful. The apartment was clean and have everything we needed for an overnight stay.

The room I ended up in was not even among the photos shown. In fact I think most of the photos are of the owners personal residence. Luckily I had a short overnight stay, my room was musty and furnishing was old as well as a very musty smell there were no windows, just a glass door as it was a room under the house. My room said balcony and there as a patio but it was downstairs and i had to carry my bags up stairs when I was leaving. The owner did help me carry one bag when I arrived. The photos created a different expectation about what my room was like, if I had seen actual photos I would not have booked.

The hoasts were great but everything else was abissmal. Bed and breakfast with no breakfast. And when I asked for breakfast, I was offered bread. One morning I was woken up by a crying baby and a barking dog. You can hear everything that is going on upstairs, especially squeeky pipes. Location is by a highway and an airport, so the symphony of trucks, planes and pipes is amazing. It is literally a room at someone's house with no perks.

Stay away!!

The location is next to an overpass that was terrifying at night and had piles and piles of garbage bags. If I were traveling alone or with children, I would be too scared to get out of the taxi. The hosts were incredibly rude and were clearly angry that we asked for coffee in the morning. They were yelling in Italian.thr beds were very old and thin.

My flight was delayed and arrived hotel at 0100 (after the 1200 checkin)
I rang the bell for 20 mins, and no one answered.
Had to walk 45 mins back to the airport, to get another taxi (as Taxi had left) and I had no Italian phone (involving walking over overpass with no sidewalk)
Booked another hotel and stayed there for the night. Reached out to Hotels.com and they didn't offer a refund as the rate was non cancelable and the hotel didn't want to give me the refund....

Overnight

Just stayed over nite prior to flight home Coordination with Leonardo worked well and he referred us to excellent lunch (Al Paradise) on a Sunday afternoon. Offered to take us to airport ( at 2:30am), but we had other option. Very limited utensils (pkates, forks, knives, etc) and no shower curtain we’re only negatives

Lovely family running B&B only drawback is the location. It was a bit complicated getting to it because railroad had arm down (broken) and couldn't cross, and the map keep rerouting us to different place. No walkable restaurants or cafes.

The property is a wonderful and very large house with nice rooms. With some upgraded yard work it would make a great place to have a wedding or some other multi-family event. It isn't located in the best of places and Google maps spells the name of the street it's on different that the Expedia info, so it was a challenge to.find. We spent an hour on the phone to Expedia in America while they figured out how we could get to the property.

Would highly recommend

Leonardo was the perfect host. Stayed here 1 night before a cruise. Leonardo gave excellent transfer cost to airport and cruise terminal.
Room was very large and comfy. Maybe a little fridge would be good. Villa is slightly isolated and only offered breakfast, we walked 10 mins to local store to make a cold dinner.
Would recommend

No toiletries, no hot water for shower, no coffee or tea maker in the room. Transportation was provided at a cost, not the best stay for a long flight the next day to the states. It was very convenient to the airport, but not much more.

I was locked out, no one answered the doorbell. My phone wasn't working so I couldn't call. I waited 25 minutes then drove to another hotel that was full and a man called for me. I drove back. In the morning a woman asked me to pay 10 euros- I refused. Noone speaks English well enough to sort out or answer questions. It was by the road and loud. My breakfast teabag had dead bugs in it. Room was spacious and clean, close to the airport yet a train track is between and unfortunately I had to wait 20 minutes while the road was closed. (This is normal in this area).

Host doesn't live on site and we were very late due to flights and picking up hire car, but he was very forgiving.
Just watch out for the hot water. If you it turn off and back on again, it comes through very hot.

We needed a place to stay before an early flight out of the Bari airport. This place was perfect! It is not in a beautiful neighborhood (hey- it's close to the airport!) The breakfast was basic, but perfect for us. The room was showing some signs of wear and tear, and there were lightbulbs that were out- but the proprietors are lovely, kind people and are helpful. Overall a totally serviceable option!

We managed to get food delivered too. Unfortunately the bed is very hard but like most places it’s just a stopover before the next flight.

Cash only…

They only accept cash. The room is normal. I paid for a room with balcony but there’s no balcony. I asked the reception, she said she doesn’t know and never get back to me. The toilet floor is full of water before I started using it and the mirror is with water drops as if someone used it not long ago. The room has zero noise isolation and you can hear every conversation next door has. Good things are The owner are nice and they offered airport shuttle with €20 for 5 mins drive. And the train station only 5 mins away

Italy Trip

This is a lovely B&B located near the Bari Airport. It was nice and roomy but several light bulbs weren't working and we had some issues with the hair dryer - it wouldn't stay on. A/C was adequate. Shower was different. They have a handheld sprayer mounted on the wall but no shower curtain. A little challenging to keep the water in the tub. Also, they only accept cash which I missed on their website. Very friendly, great location.

Great place to stay to explore Bari

Initially the property was hard to find as our gps could not locate the place only the street. Once we located the b&b it was a wonderful home with 2 self contained apartments/rooms in the lower level. The hosts Leo and Mina were very welcoming and friendly although they never spoke English we still managed to communicate. Only criticism of the property is that it backs onto the main road, but you can’t really hear the noise in the rooms.
Bari is 11 km drive away and the airport is just around the corner, which makes this the ideal location from where to explore the area.

Great little villa near Bari airport.

The is a lovely little villa with wonderful hosts. We stayed one night so we could be near the airport for the following day. We checked in very early and the owner have us a lift to the bus stop so we could have a day round Bari. The following morning, after a nice simple breakfast, he gave us a lift with all our luggage to the airport to catch our flight. There isn't much to see within walking distance, but overall it was well worth the stay.

Infelizmente, foi uma pessima experiência .Ao reservar esse local para uma semana, vi em sua apresentação nesse site imagens de uma bela residência com um hall bonito, com uma area bonita, jardins..., e também apontava que havia um estacionamento e uma cozinha. Mas ao chegar esses espaços referente a casa e de uso particular.O hospede tem acesso ao quarto terreo. Ou seja para uma noite tudo bem mas para varios dias nao recomendo o estacionamento e na rua.Acabei dormindo so uma noite e fui embora no dia seguinte..muito triste .

Hyvää palvelua tarjoava B&B

Hyvin joustava isäntä. Yövyin kaksi yötä, ensimmäiseksi yöksi saavuin kentälle yhden aikaan yöllä ja paikan pitäjä tuli hakemaan minut kentältä. Toiseksi yöksi minulle neuvottiin, miten pääsen huoneeseeni, vaikka kukaan ei olisi paikalla.
