We spent 2 nights at the beginning of the week and 2 at the end. Lilia couldn't have done enough to welcome us both times and allowing us to leave our suitcase until our return for the second 2 nights. I said it would be fine to leave the bedding and towels as they were until our return as she didn't have any guests when we were away. When we returned she had changed the bedding and towels, lovely. We loved the neighbourhood and its people and loved being there. There is a shop 3 doors down which was very handy for us and the owners got to know us.
We arrived by train into Bari and it is a 15 minute walk straight down the road directly opposite the exit from the train station, it's a long road, you then come to a big main road cross that and go to the left of a very ornate building kind of stripped stone work. Down a little alley way and Lilia's house is no 16.
A visit to the castle is worth a visit and there are lots of place to eat. We would defiantly recommend Lilia's house, even though it's only 9ft wide and 4 stories high!
