The swimming pool

Location very difficult - no cafes or restaurants within 10 kms - no coffee making facilities and not even a glass for the water we had to bring ourselves - No supermarket within 10 Kms -

The place is super beautiful, Magda and her family are lovely people, warm and welcoming. I felt like I was visting my family. All areas were very clean, the swimingpool is amazing and it is located in a very quiet street.

I did not travel by car but you can get there by bus. The city centre is not far away which is great, but the timetable of the bus is not very good. That was the only downside for me. Everything else was exceptional.

All of the accommodation including of course the swimming pool is first class and very stylish. The hosts are very kind and thoughtful and go beyond the call of duty for their guests.

Nothing

lovely pool and property with friendly hosts who one morning baked us lovely focaccia bread which was delicious. Bari is a short bus ride away with a frequent bus service.

due to restrictions breakfast wasn’t readily provided and no facilities in room such as kettle to make a hot drink although good size fridge. unfortunately during our stay the local beach bar which did provide breakfast wasn’t open.

Our stay was more then amazing! The distance from Bari provides you the rest and silence you absolutely want. Relaxing at the pool, few hours at the beach, dining at the seaside. It's all possible! We really loved the beachbar 1min from the B&B, the perfect location to have a filled croissant in the morning and a lovely lunch during the day! Location wise: there is a busstop nearby for people like us without transport which is maybe not relaxing to use all the time but perfectly fine to go to Bari (takes 10min). We rented a scooter to visit Torre a mare, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli but if you want to see more you'll need a car which is easy to rent online as well :) There is so much too see in Puglia!!!

Absolutely nothing.

Very nice B&B stay where we were expertly taken care of by Magda and her mother. They treated us and our little dog like family, served a very nice traditional Italian breakfast and provided excellent food recommendations in nearby towns (we were absolutely thrilled with their restaurant recommendation of Mama Mia in Gravina (they even called ahead and secured us a table which was essential as it was fully booked and we watched them turn several people away). Returning in the afternoon to take a dip in the very nice pool was an excellent way to cool off from the heat of the day. Would not hesitate to return.

Their yard was pretty and the lighting in the bedroom was nice.

THEY TRIED TO BLACKMAIL ME for starters. I had to block the owner from WhatsApp because she wouldn't stop messaging me. I kept getting "I prefer not to charge you for damages. Just give me good reviews." I left a mark on a towel and a bed post with a charcoal mask and I'm being charged 100€. There is no way in hell that 1.) It doesn't come out, as I got it on some of my clothing and it came our fine and 2.) Even if they didn't even attempt to clean it, unless they bought a whole new cheap, raggedy bedframe (like the one already there), there is absolutely NO way it would cost 100€. Now for the room. First off, it wasn't really a room. It was *half* of a poolhouse. It was small, and despite the many reviews saying it was clean, there was dirt in the tub and the towels were brown-tinged from a lifetime of prior use. I had a tub in my room (which is one of the reasons I picked this place), but the hot water doesn't stay on long enough to fill it up. The bed was trash. I genuinely thought we were sleeping on partical board with a thin layer of padding. I even looked. There was some sort of mattress the width of my hand, which looked about as ancient and overused as everything else in that room. The frame of the bed itself was fragile enough that we were afraid to plop down on it. I feel I overpaid severely for the terrible room I got, and I wouldn't havr paid over 50€ per night if I'd gotten to see the room first. I could go on forever, but I'll end it here. I stayed here almost a month ago because I read a bunch of good reviews. And I'm just now leaving a bad one because, while I sure as hell wasn't going to leave a good review, I was waiting to see if she'd follow through with the blackmail. I think that's exactly why she has the stellar reviews she has. Anyone who goes here... please expose her and her terrible room instead of giving in. It's not okay to let everyone else make the same mistake.

The owners were very friendly and offered nice breakfasts and local cuisine tastes. The hotel is located very close (100m) to sea shore what gives a good opportunity to make long walks over the sea. The hotel has very nice garden with a pool, which in summer season is big advantage. I also enjoyed two nice and cuddly small dogs of hotel owners.

the only disadvantage is that thee are no restaurants in a walking distance.
