This is an ideal location to explore Bari old town and to get to surrounding historic places by public transport such as Castel del Monte, Alberobello , Grotte di Castellana etc.
Lilia provides lots of little extras to help you settle in right away - tea , coffee, bread etc. etc. and gives helpful suggestions what to see and where to eat.
Overall very good indeed.
If you are coming to Bari try to be there during the Festival of San Nicola - it is truly wonderful .
