Francesco's place has a lot of assets that make it an excellent place, and a perfect choice for a great holiday stay in Bari. Paola and Antonio are the best of hosts - very kind, attentive, caring, responsive; we couldn't have communicated better with them. The apartment has breathtaking sea views from the living room, and two of the bedrooms; incredible location in a very lively area, much loved by the locals; huge size (bigger than it looks in the pictures); many amenities; elegant style. Also, the presence of books and music in the apartment made us personally feel even more like at home. There are lots of restaurants and bars in the area, creating a great atmosphere and lots of choices for lunch/dinner/drinks. Only on occasions it might get a little bit noisy late at night. There is also a large and popular beach within walking distance from the apartment. We had a wonderful stay at casa dei nonni, and highly recommend it. Totally worth it! Grazie mille!
