We have just returned from a week's stay at Enrico and Pamela's apartment. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay. It is situated in a quiet area away from the city centre, but there is a wonderful fresh fruit and vegetable market right across the road, a lovely bakery (try the focaccia!) just round the corner, a well-stocked mini supermarket ("Simply") 5 mins walk up the road , with a friendly little off licence opposite (try the draught red wine!).
It is 20 mins from the central train, metro and bus stations, and provides a really good base for exploring the Puglia region. Public transport is cheap and can get you to the main regional attractions.
Old town Bari is 30 mins walk away and has some lovely back streets and street cafes.
(Check out Mastro Ciccio at No.15 Via Vittorio Emenuele for amazing sandwiches ) Enrico and Pamela are perfect hosts -friendly, helpful and informative. Loved our stay.
