We landed in Bari airport and decided to book accommodation with Antonio. It was very easy to get from Bari airport to Barletta - there is a direct train. From Barletta, we took a bus directly to Margherita di Savoia.
Everything was ready for us, apartment looked better than in pictures. It wa spacious, had a big balcony, air conditioning. Was very quiet since there are almost no neighbors. there is a shower with music as well :)
To the beach, it took us 3mins by walk. We had everything we needed close to the apartment - few stores for groceries, ice cream, some restaurants. Margherita di Savoia is very traditional place - not many tourists were there and thanks to that, we had a great time with Italians and were able to get to know their typical culture. With communication, we had no problem, despite people dont speak english very much. On the other hand, they have always been very helpful and kind.
Antonio speaks English fluently and is reliable and helpful. I think he doesnt take this just as his job but it makes him happy to meet new people, talk to them, make them a good time. He told us about the city, what to do, where to go, made us a tour around the city, always let us know by sms when there was sth special in the city. Just perfect :)
As for the beach, there is a black sand - but the beach belongs to one onf the cleanest in Italia, it even has some special certificate - Blue flag I think.
There was nothing we wouldnt be unsatisfied with. Antonio, the city itself and the culture around us made our holiday great. Thumbs up, if you guys consider coming to Margherita di Savoia, Antonio is the right host for you.
