9.6/10 Exceptional! (43 reviews)

Excellent place to stay. Good value for money. It is a bit off from Bari and most attractions so renting a car is essential (but that is good idea when exploring Puglia anyway). The room was superb. Very spacious and a powerful AC that can keep it cool during even the hottest summer weather. The private whirlpool on the roof is a nice touch in the evening though we only used it twice. Family room has private room for parents and a separate for kids. Food is good and reasonably priced similar to most nearby restaurants, though it makes sense to plan meals at sites that are visited for convenience and variety. Staff has been very kind and caring. You could tell they took extra steps to make guests feel welcome.
