Beautiful place, lousy tub in our room, no shower no curtain, can’t stand up. Dangerous conditions for showering in the room we got. The grounds and pool beautiful. The room was nice a bit dark.

Unique and beautiful old villa turned hotel. Great little restaurant called Birrbante just down the road.

Beautiful hotel with excellent and friendly staff.

This is not a luxury hotel or 4-star Hotel as advertised. Despite being tucked right next to the Motorway, the house and the compound itself is quite nice and has potential. However the service, upkeep and cleanliness of the whole place needs improving. The rooms and bathrooms are dark, old, the bed and linen were old and uncomfortable. Staff can barely speak English and communication was exhausting, as it led to a lot of misunderstanding. Breakfast was also very limited. Dining in general is extremely limited.

Beautiful classic Italian villa near everything in Bari. Nice pool and grounds. Breakfast was excellent too

The only downside to the hotel is the location. You need a car to get to the center or take a cab.

I might have had bad luck on this, but the restaurant were closed, the breakfast had cold blant omelettes and it seemed like the hotel had seen better days. Black mold in the bathroom that really made it hard to spend any time at the room. The pool area was excellent, however. To summarize: The pool area was indeed worth its 4-star rating. My room and the food offered on the other hand… 2-star at best.

There is no restaurant and the food they can offer is extremely basic....a blonde toastie which I would do a million times better. It is easy to have some basic food options even on the minimal staff they are operating on. On the plus side the pool we thought and the garden was epic but my partner was eat alive by mosquitos on the beautiful balconies so be wary

Lovely stay, easy no problems, plenty of parking and good breakfast

The hotel and rooms were excellent, as was the service but the pool was dirty and needed cleaning - there was green slime growing on the walls and base of the pool and the outside tables had not been cleaned for weeks. The grass areas around the pool were neglected and the grass clearly had not been cut for weeks and was 200mm high.

Helpful staff. Bery accomodating

Good stay, but the hotel is more dated than it seems from the pictures. Rooms spacious but cold and a little weary, smell of moist. Ok breakfast, nice staff. Good pool area - outdoors looks better than indoors. location a bit off, not a pretty street. Need a car for everything.

A little bit far from the city but accessible by the car.

The staff except one exception or two (breakfast waiter on the first day was accommodating. The second day worker was not much help: I was able to get fried eggs the first day but not the second day) The air conditioner did not cool the room. When they got it to work on the second night it was only a fan. We could not get much sleep on the first night since the room was too warm, Opening the window attracts bugs and mosquitoes. When we asked the first day for the front desk to activate the A/C, the manager had a very bad attitude and even implied that we pressed the wrong button. Very disrespectful and not accommodating. It seems they use a very complicated software to activate the A/C, and they take the liberty to shut it down when they want to. However, the lobby A/C works fine. Parking was convenient, but finding the property can be challenging the first time.

Nice place on the outskirts of Bari, from where you can go easily by car to nice places like Fasano, Monopoli, Lecce etc. etc. There is a nice pool and it has great big rooms with high ceilings and enough room to put your stuff. Don't use the bubble bath in the bathroom. When we tried to use it, a smell of shit came out of the holes. Don't think if you book here, you can use the sun bed you want next to the pool. The hotel sells the sun beds to people who are not guests at the hotel, something we found very strange as we paid a lot of money to stay here.

A great little spit on a blind highway corner. What a beautiful building, warm welcome and a clean fresh room. Our daughter sings and makes a grab for the oil painting. We thought it would be bliss. At 7 we are exhausted and starving, how un-Italian. The restaurant was due to open in thirty, we can wait. Skip forward an hour and thirty and it’s still a mosquito infested furnace downstairs with a disinterested mobile phone clasping patron who keeps telling us about an invisible event as a valid excuse for horrid service. We give up, go to the room, complain and ask nicely for some food in the room. We ask for red wine. White comes. We pour it and it looks like sherry mixed with orangina. We call to reception and repeat ourselves again. ‘There is a problem’. The waiter comes and apologises, bring us some basic but tasty grub, our daughter finally sleeps and we follow. The next morning we get the worst coffee we’ve had in 4 years living in Italy. It’s flat, cold, gritty and a bit like a swamp water. The reception asks ‘oh was it too strong?’. The condensention doesn’t land. I think the untrained teenager was the problem. The damp single omelette is cold and soggy as all the kit is unplugged. We ditch out on breakfast and head out. The meal from the previous night costs us €54 and we argue about it driving to the airport. Shame really.

The room was very spacious and clean, the shower a bit hard to work out as either cold or too hot. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Nice place to stay outside of Bari, quite and a nice swimming pool for the hot summer

difficult to find during daytime. Very helpful staff

Not as advertised. Air conditioning and jet tub not working. Tub leaks even when showering. Restaurant not open. Had to run out to get food.

Very attentative staff, excellent food and wine in the restaurant

Wonderful boutique hotel. A bit hard to find, but worth it. Exclusive, only about 15 rooms. Quiet. Most comfortable bed we have had in Italy. Great breakfast buffet in a very nice restaurant area. Unfortunately arrived too late for dinner. Lovely pool. Wish we had more than one night!

The hotel was quite despite the closeness to the motorway, which made the location very convenient for out of town trips without sacrificing confort and view.I would recommend this hotel for cleanliness and very courteous staff.

Very good breakfast.

Hotel restaurant closed Saturday and Sunday and the Friday of our stay, reception Kindly ordered a pizza delivery to satisfy our hunger after travelling before check-in. Spa Closed! Indoor pool closed! (the platform page for this hotel indicated renovation works early January to early February, 2nd - still closed on 10th - 17th!!) Despite low number of guests - no cushions were put out to encourage use of terrace as the weather was kind to us,Not all rooms have a jet bath as advertised, deluxe room 1 certainly doesnt!Wifi - poorYou definitely need a car to be staying at this hotel!Had to request information from reception on local area, nothing provided in the rooms.

Very uncomfortable room, with low ceiling (under the roof of the building) and only a tiny window on a side not visible from the bed. Much worse than shown on the Internet

Really lovely hotel and grounds but location terrible. You'd need a car and sat Bac and nerves of steel to drive straight into a motorway. Poor signage too. Staff were exceptional apart from the female receptionist who was plain rude! Everything else was amazing

The room was damp, smelled musky and was dark. We were not in the main building, maybe that would have been better. This hotel is way out of town so if you dont have a car it would not be good. Check in was good and the dinning was nice and our waiter(Nicola) was friendly and gave good service.

We spent two nights at the hotel. The staff are very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service was amazing. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and patio. It is surrounded by lush trees and is truly an oasis in the middle of a bustling city.

Hotel facilities good, menu, wine list very,very limited. 2-3 wines or red/white to choose from. Pool is main attraction, but unfortunately alot of locals pay to use it and there is a constant pumping of Italian housemusic at the pool side. Also not so well behaved kids. On Sunday evening there was a party in the restaurant ( underneath the bedrooms) and the music didn't finish until after 1am- keeping us awake. On the plus side the hotel is a lovely building, in lovely grounds, 15 mins from the airport and right next to the SS16 which is good for getting up and down the coast. If you want a relaxing break in a 3 star hotel choose this one if you don't mind the various intrusions. The hotel needs to decide where its market is- events or individual travellers. At the moment it's more geared to the former.

Very clean - staff were very friendly and helpful. Ideal for airport and a base for sightseeing (old town Bari, Alborabello etc will definitely go again. Mum and I enjoyed a few days by pool. Mostly Italian, some visiting just for the day. Pool bar and snacks all good. Lovely setting for weddings or special anniversaries. Jean and lesley (mum and daughter)

We stayed only one night. As other respondents have said, the hotel is difficult to find, especially at night. Our bedroom was in a separate block at the back of the main building. The room was OK and had its own little patio. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is out of town some way and there appears to be no public transport. Taxi to town centre is aprox. €15. There are no shops cafes or restaurants in the immediate area. Breakfast was an OK Italian breakfast in the nice conservatory. The swimming pool was unheated and cold.
