Owner was very gracious, welcoming and helpful. Property is old although well maintained, a little noisy as it is right off the freeway, and feels isolated at the end of a street with a fair amount of blight. Our stay was reasonably comfortable. Next time, I would opt for the hotel close to the airport rather than this particular property for greater convenience and comfort.

Check in was smooth. Parking was along the street, right against a fence so it was impossible for passengers to exit the car while parked. The location is convenient for the airport but far from Bari town/attractions. On the morning of our flight the GPS took us along a road that was blocked due to a train guard. Luckily I read other comments stating that it can be down/closed for a long time so we drove in the direction of the airport and were re routed. Given the proximity to the airport there is noise of planes flying over regularly. The property is located near a highway and traffic noise is present too. This did not bother us. From ground level the suite is located down many stairs. There is another suite beside it and a shared wall/frosted window. There was a kettle and a few teabags and instant coffee. No other amenities in the room. The breakfast area is on the main floor and includes a kitchen area. It was not clear whether we could use that area or not. The major issue for me was that the headboard is peeling (faux leather) and some of the towels in our room were literally see-through in spots. When we got in the room all the windows had been open and the screens are not keeping the mosquitoes out. I killed at least 5 before closing the windows. The adjacent properties are all unkempt and although the grounds are nice for the property you can’t see them from the street and it is concerning when arriving. The room was spacious and the lights and a/c worked well.

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....

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.

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.

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).

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!

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
