The building has been beautifully restored and the apartments are amazing. The terraces aren’t shared as other reviews say so make sure you book the one you want. I had the suite with the terrace over the old town and it was beautiful and a nice quiet escape. Bed was comfy, apartment big and lots of nice treats like water and snacks every day. Owner really helpful with tips and guides and I was able to check in early

It’s true the area is a mix of buildings from amazing restaurants and apartments to less loved buildings. But it’s safe and never a problem. More tourists will bring more money and more regeneration

Amazing apartment. I've never been in so nice apartments in Italy. Windows view to the port. Small balcony. Big bathroom. Good location in the Old Town. It was perfect. 10/10

Lovely apartment. Was a great size for a single, through to 4 people. Was very clean and tidy. Stocked kitchen and little complementary grazing boxes supplied. Water bottles were replenished each day too.

Didn’t have an oven and the mattress sunk in the middle of the bed.

Very well supplied and clean, spacious

Room was described as having a ‘landmark view ‘ but windows looked onto wall 2 feet away, no view. Basically an internal room, should be listed as such - I would have booked a front facing room

Nothing. We arrived, saw the room and decided not to stay. A case of false and dishonest advertising, with no recourse for customers who fall for it. €180 for nothing.

Dark dingy room, utterly different to the pictures on Don Alfredo's website showing it as bright, light and airy. Windows give onto a wall within touching distance. It was like a dungeon, and we decided not to stay. We booked elsewhere at the last minute and sought a refund for the 2 unused nights, but got nothing. Not even 50%. Utterly disgusted. Avoid like the plague -- Don Alfredo does not deserve your custom.

This place is so good, that I wanted to stay longer in Taranto just so that I could spend more time cozy at home. Everything about it exceeded my expectations. The bed and linens are a soft cloud. The location--8 min walk from train station, and it is in the old city! Trust me, you want to stay on the island. The size, cleanliness, and finishings are all well above what is necessary. Even a little box with a snack of some local things. The Bathroom is amazing, the shower is aquatherapeutic. I was in need of shampoo, conditioner, etc, after travelling for a few days, and this place had them, just like a hotel. Most guest homes do not include these little bottles, so it was greatly appreciated. And the staff communicated everything perfectly, which made checking in and out simple and efficient

Nothing to report. Perhaps I could only complain that they are charging too low for this place!

Huge spacious room overlooking the bay and the fishing boats. Some nice touches, great bathroom.

The stairs would be tough if you struggle with mobility but I guess that can’t be changed.

sea view, close to our wedding event, clean, had everything we needed ready inside

The road that leads to it was very dark at 2 am, I did not feel safe walking from our event. The neighborhood does not feel safe but it may just be my ignorance, it is not like I have seen a crime or anything in action while there. Just run down part of the island is all.

Location was wonderful! Nice restaurant next door and easily walkable to the best parts of the island at Taranto!

The elevator and entry and exit was odd...

Nice, spacious and very quiet.

nothing

All was really fine

nothing

A super location with great sea views. convenient for railway station. the apartment was clean and comfortable. Friendly welcome from host.

Don Alfredo is an amazing place to stay and I just can highly recommend it!! Apartment was super big, super clean and equipped with lots of love to detail. It‘s totally renovated and you find everything what you need and even more! There was food and drinks in the fridge and also coffee capsules etc in place. Communication with the staff and also check-in was super easy and uncomplicated. Staff was always available via WhatsApp. The appartment is located perfectly in the old city and also the newer part of Taranto can be easily reached by foot. There are also a few good places to find a parking slot. Thumbs up - fantastic place!

all was great

The room was huge, it was really a one-bedroom apartment. The balcony was absolutely massive with excellent views! Great location, walking distance from some really great seafood places.

It was rather strange never seeing anyone from the property. We got the keys through code and simply left them there. Not a gripe as such, but may be a concern if there is any issue.

By far the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in during the 3 months I’ve been in Italy…didn’t even wanna get out to explore! The rest of the room was also huge and the shower was amazing. I would give this place a 100 out of 10 if I could.

Nada

Tastefully decorated establishment, breathtaking view of the bay, location close to everything.

A whole army of mosquitos. I would suggest the property owner to provide his tenants with some anti–mosquito devices.

Marvellous views from the terrace, fully equipped kitchen, everything very clean and tight.

The furnishings and the roof terrace.

Nothing really.
