We stayed with Pietro while visiting Torre a Mare, located just a few kilometres away from busy and touristy Bari. It was our first experience of Italy, after travelling from Greece and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.
Pietro picked us up from the ferry which was wonderful as one of our party had injured themselves and was reliant on a walking aid - it was very kind and generous of Pietro to do this. On the journey from the Port he gave us information about the area and things to see in Bari which was very useful.
The apartment has been newly and tastefully renovated, is on the ground floor, has an outdoor courtyard with two separate table & chair settings and is very stylish with all new appliances. The bedding was crisp and of very good quality.
The apartment is located in a delightful and beautiful fishing village and only a few steps away from the waterfront where cafes and restaurants abound (try the seafood eatery, opposite the boat harbour). A supermarket is located just around the corner and a bus which takes you to Bari (No. 12 & 12/) is at the end of the street). A bus will take you from the Port to Central Station in Bari, where you catch the bus to Torre a Mare.
Pietro was a lovely and personable host who wanted to ensure that we had a memorable stay, which we did.
Thank you Pietro for a wonderful and memorable stay - highly recommended!
