Baria is a wonderful city and Earth-Sky or Terra-Cielo is the perfect place to stay when you are visiting. It is in the old and most interesting part of the town, 'il borgo antico'. Locally this type of house is called a 'palazzina'. It has a very nice terrace on the roof with a harbour view. I would not recommend it for people who find difficulty in climbing stairs. For all others, enjoy it! This house is used by Serena and her family when in Bari, so you are not in a typical holiday home. it is more as if you stay in a friend's house. I hope all the visitors will treat it as such. Unfortunately we did not meet Serena in person, because she was working at that moment in Rome. We did have a lot of contact through e-mail, phone and sms. Thank you for all the useful tips, Serena and the extra towels to take to the beach. Her lovely aunt, Concita, was a great host as well. She even met us at the central station (take the train from the airport, cheap and fast) and drove us to the house. We had a splendid week. Tip: Eatally opened its Bari doors last July. Take bus 22 or 27 and ask the driver to tell you when to get off. 8.000 sq.m of the best food Italy has to offer. A bit pricy maybe, but what an experience. The rest of Bari offers very good food too, and at very moderate prices. Enjoy the special atmosphere you can only find in Italy, or maybe I should say southern Italy. We are home 2 days now and we are already talking about going back. Hope to be able to come back to your place then, Serena. Thank again.
