Greeted by Serena's Aunt and Mother who were extremely helpful, even offering to pick us up from the station, nothing was too much trouble for them and we knew that they were there if we needed them.
The house was even better than we expected, spacious, comfortable, clean, fun and well equipped. The rooftop terrace had beautiful views over the harbour and a perfect place to eat breakfast.
Bari old town has many small shops for provisions and local produce, is full of fascinating lanes, churches and squares. The station is just a 20 minute walk for trips out of town and the newer part of town has many beautiful buildings and a wide range of shops for more extensive shopping.
