I have very much enjoyed my stay here and love this house! It’s right between the new and old part of town with its winding cobbled streets.
There are some excellent bars/pizzeria/salumeria/gelateria and restaurants close by. You can even see the ladies making pasta - all day from their kitchens. There is also some pop up little farm grocery/fresh vegetables shops although you don’t know when it will open. All part of the charm. I saw a man selling fresh fish from the back of his truck just round the corner. I cooked in some nights in the adequate kitchen and ate out for some.
As for my host Lilia, she was very kind, friendly and responsive. Waited for me as I arrived late, checked on me mid week too. There was a minor hiccup but she was on it to fix it immediately. Otherwise, she leaves you to get on with it.
I would definitely recommend this place. You can have a small piece of Bari and be part of the community for however long you stay. You can hear the living and life around you all through the day.
I didn’t have a car but it’s not too far from the train station for day trips - which I took full advantage of exploring Puglia or staying in or the roof top to read etc or park myself in any one of the cafes littered close by and people watch.
Grazie Mille Lilia for sharing your charming typical Barese home and hospitality with us.
I hope to be back if in Bari.
