Lovely and comfortable modern apartment. Great base location-wise if you want to explore different towns.
The owner really should show off these following points:
* you can get a shuttle bus from the airport to Bari Centrale Station (approx 40 mins) for 1.5 Euros!
* the apartment is a brisk 20 min walk from this station- walk straight ahead, through the square which brings you to an avenue of shops- then turn left at the end when you see the Barletti coffee shop to your right- the apartment is another 5 mins from this point on your left!
* The beach is a more a good 30 min walk
*Monopoli and Polignano O Mare are about 30 mins away on the train from Bari Central. Lecce is a good two hour journey (next time we will fly to Brindisi to do this part of the Italian ‘heel’)
* You can get a bus on the other side of the train station (walk through the platform rather than around the whole station like Google Maps took us!) and you can take a bus to Alberobello (just over an hour) for €4.30
* Rosso Tonno supermarket/ deli place- your best bet for nice yummy food at decent prices! Come out of the apartment- turn to your left and it is about 5 mins brisk walk away
* Our fave coffee/ bakery was opp the Barletti shop!
Nice welcome foodie bits. Apartment well stocked with essentials. Netflix on the tv- nice home from home comforts though the WIFI was a little temperamental (but you don’t go on holiday to be glued to tech!)
We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the property again if we ever returned to this part of Puglia!
