We chose to stay in Barletta because it is situated closer to the Northern end of the Puglia Region and a shorter drive to the fantastic Gargano Peninsula. Barletta is the perfect sized small city for us. It has an abundance of great restaurants and very interesting and accessible neighbourhoods. The scene at night is lively and the people engaging.
Salvatore's accommodation suited us perfectly. It is close to all the action, but quiet at night. The apartment is well appointed with everything you need, top notch appliances and fixtures and a comfortable bed. It has an air conditioner if it's too hot and windows that open.
For parking we used the garage down the road and got to know a few folks who helped us out around fixing the headlight on our rental car.
