We loved everything about Adelfia ( the little town we were stayed at ) and Max ( our host), who was helpful beyond our expectations and very friendly Italian we had a pleasure to spend a day with. He was super nice and supportive host who helped us out immensely after we were not able to book a car for our trip to Italy. Max came to pick us up from the train station and even offered his service to drive us to Matera and Monopoly one day for a fee. It was our first trip to Italy, so Adelfia was perfect small white authentic place to stay at. We were very happy we took a 30 min train to Adelfia, rather than stayed in Bary. Adelfia is very cozy and true small Italian city. It was very strange at first to hear the church bell ring there every 15 min I think every hour during the night, but we stopped noticing that in a few hours and it did not bother at all.
The only issue we had was more on us as we did not expect the bedroom to be in the basement floor, with rather steep stairs, which were too dangerous for our small kids to climb up and down during the night. (The stairs are safe for adults. ) Also since it was a basement I had troubles breathing ( as I have asthma and the basement needed airing). The basement floor has some sort of conditioning for airing that can be used) however, for me as a person with allergies it was not helping. Anyway it was more our issue than the apartment I guess. Otherwise, Max place just like the host himself is charismatic and cosy and very interesting. He has lots of posters from different concerts and an interesting music collection.
