We stayed in Marilena's apartment to explore the old town of Altamura and the surrounding region. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and although tricky to find the front door (it's just to the right of the supermarket), once inside it did not disappoint. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well stocked (very quick induction hob!), and the old town is very close by.
A few tips.
Get there mid-afternoon if you can as it's much quieter and you're more likely to find a parking spot. The parking spaces underneath the balconies are free but there are only about 5 of them, so keep an eye out for them becoming free.
You can park in the market area out the front of the apartment (pay at the meter) but the market starts early (except on Sundays, no market) so you will need to move your car the night before.
Parking is free after 9pm and all day on Sundays.
Pay parking places are framed in blue.
Visit the Antico Forno Santa Chiara (bakery), check out the oven (huge!) and buy Altamuran bread.
