GREAT PLACE WITH GREAT PEOPLE
We stayed for a full week at the Borgo Fontana B&B, and we can recommend it to anyone who is searching for a good value, great ambiance, typical Italian accomodation.
It is located at a cosy quiet courtyard, which is perfectly placed just inside the "old town". Therefore everything is nearby, and within walking distance. With a 10 minute stroll through the shopping area you arrive at Bari Centrale, ideal for day trips to other cities such as Trani, Monopoli, Polignano A Mare, and Matera (all reccommended!).
The room is nice and clean, has airco, television, plenty storage room, electric plugs all around, and wifi (not the best for streaming, but sufficient for anything else).
The breakfast was perfect, with a variation of local products served every morning! Next to that, a huge amount of fruit, good coffee/thea, and drinks is included. I recommend you try every fruit at least once, and be surprised by the fruit of the cactus 🌵😆, which can be encountered in nearly every alley of Bari Old town. The variaty and amount is more than enough, even for a tall Dutch guy.
The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Although they don't speak English, they will do everything to make you feel at hone. Luckily Translate apps help a lot in communicating. They are open to requests and questions, and are very helpfull. Rosa even reserved private beach trip for us on the last day, which solved the anoying late flight departure day. We could even leave our suitcases at the B&B to enjoy the last day in Italy without a worry!
Rosa, grazie mille per l'ottimo soggiorno! ❤️🇮🇹
