La soluzione ideale per chi pernotta a Bari, a breve distanza dall'aeroporto, dal lido e ottimamente collegato con tutta la città metropolitana. Camere confortevoli, disposizione ottimale dei servizi interni, televisore alla giusta altezza da permetterti una comoda visione da sdraiato. Personale competente, squisito, gentilissimo e che mette l'ospite a proprio agio, facendolo sentire a casa propria. Comodità del parcheggio interno alla struttura. Cucina genuina, soprattutto i dolci in cui la struttura è specializzata, ottime la torta di mele e pere della mamma, e la torta caprese con scaglie di cioccolato, da provare. Una famiglia più che un albergo.

Eccellente. Viaggiavo per lavoro e mi sono trovato veramente bene. Ottima posizione vicino all’aeroporto, ottimo servizio. I gestori sono stati veramente gentili e disponibili. Cibo di qualità, elasticità negli orari e bus navetta verso l’aeroporto per chi ne avesse bisogno. Ci tornerò volentieri!

Eccellente struttura, accoglienza come fossi realmente a casa tua, in pochi giorni ti sentirai totalmente a casa, stavolta però con una vista mozzafiato ed una spiagetta a 20 metri dalla fantastica struttura! Persone squisite, a disposizione del cliente in tutti i casi e modi, stanze super innovative di una pulizia unica, oltre alla doccia veramente veramente grande; Sono rimasto piacevolmente soddisfatto da tutto ciò. Dovessi ritornare in zona, la stanza è gia prenotata da voi! Grazie

Nostalgia di questo posto paradisiaco e delle proprietarie, madre e figlia, di una cordialità e disponibilità fuori dalla norma... Sempre pronte a risolvere qualsiasi problema ed a soddisfare qualsiasi esigenza.. struttura nuova, impeccabile e moderna. Colazione abbondante e genuina. Dolci ottimi, sempre diversi, preparati dal marito. Due fermate bus vicinissime alla struttura... davvero nulla da eccepire. Quando si ama ciò che si fa, e ci si mette così tanta passione, è impossibile fallire! Trasmettono tutta la giusta positività. Consigliatissimo!

This place was wonderful!! Perfect for a one night stay or for a few days. Close to the beach too. The staff was excellent and very friendly! Really quiet and calm. Very clean and great space! I had a small balcony but there’s also a nice breakfast area you can relax at. Personally, one of the best stays I’ve had in a long time. The town is not walking distance, but a 20 minute ride on the bus and you are in downtown. Not bad if you are up for the adventure and willing to explore.

Recommend without reserve Pleasant stay. Convenient location, clean and modern rooms. Very friendly family, good breakfast with personalized service. Very easy «taxi » service. Can recommend within reservation for a short stay if you don’t need or want to be in the city center. Quiet room inspite of location next to airport.

Both my cousin and I could not believe how well the property was designed, having both form and function. We arrived too tired to think of going to a restaurant and the prepared an impromptu but delicious meal. And we can't say enough good things about Rosa, her daughter Miriam and her husband Tiziano!
