A gracious and marvelous home in the center of Bari. This huge, light-filled apartment on the top floor of a very well-kept building has a wrap-around terrace that looks out on the city. Plant-lined, it is a wonderful place to sit – even in winter -- either at an outdoor table or in the sun. Casa Lupe is full of touches that makes it an ideal place for a long stay as well as a short stay. There is a fully stocked kitchen with every appliance and tool you need to cook. There is ample closet space. Lots of electric outlets. Lots of towels, pillows, blankets. Excellent wifi. The sectional sofa is super comfortable. So is the bed. The apartment was extremely quiet day and night.
We were in Bari during a cold snap and the apartment was nice and warm. I think the place would be great in summer as well since in addition to A/C, there are screens on most doors so you can get a great breeze if you want fresh air. The full-length shutters are electric and can be easily set.
Pictures don’t do the apartment justice. Still, you can see a bit of Luisa’s eye for design and her charming decorative hand and good quality furnshings. The apartment is in a great neighborhood and is easy walking to all the sights, shopping, restaurants.
Luisa is a wonderful host. From the start, her communication was clear. Before we arrived, she had great advice about an inexpensive and safe parking garage close by. When she met us at the apartment, she wanted to know what we were planning to do in town and after listening to us, had great advice about touring Bari and Puglia. We will definitely be back!
