Wow. Just...wow! Do yourself a favor, and if you are staying in Bari, book Casa Lupe. Even if you are just considering a visit to Bari, do it. You won’t be sorry! We were coming by train from Rome, and at the end of the stay needed to meet our group at the Bari airport. I asked Luisa how best to do this prior to our visit and she responded back almost instantly with several options for us to consider.
She picked us up at the Bari train station and took us to the apartment, and was there even though the train arrived over an hour late. She provided a lot of local information that was very useful, books, maps, etc and recommended restaurants.
The apartment was well stocked with coffee, tea, yogurt, water bottles, milk, sugar, cereal and breakfast breads so we didn’t even have to go shopping. The bathroom had soap, shampoo, makeup wipes, sunscreen and plenty of extra towels. The outdoor spaces were fantastic, we enjoyed evening wine and cheese out on the balcony, as well as morning coffee, and it doubled as a great place to dry laundry after using the washing machine. The bed was comfy and we appreciated the extra pillows. We had a glitch initially with the WiFi, but Luisa’s brother came by within minutes to fix it and after that we had no issues.
The location could not have been better, an easy walk into Bari old town which was just fascinating, and only a kilometer’s walk to the train station, which we did twice, once to visit Matera (also not to be missed) and then again with our luggage to get to Bari airport (less than 20 mins by train). Numerous restaurants within just a few minutes walk. We loved it and wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Luisa!
