It's hard to put in 500 words how wonderful our experience at Silvanas flat was. She welcomed us and explained the whole place, helped to search for a parking spot close by (apartment is in the historical center of Ruvo and no guest parking directly at the apartment possible; but free parking at the cathedral closely no problem). During our stay she surprised us with Croissants and some Milk for our daughter and kept in contact with us all times - unbelievable hospitality, we really felt like we were visiting some friends.

The flat itself is such a nice combination of a historical and typical south Italian building with a super modern and elegant touch. All appliances were of the highest quality and we enjoyed to stay here a lot.

As the complex is built within 3 floors there is some stair going necessary but this helps to work off the pasta you will enjoy in beautiful Ruvo :)

When you are exiting the door in the morning, I always somehow felt like I am going into an outdoor-real-life-theater . You meet all the local people and see how families build up little fruit and vegetable stands to sell their harvest, you see all kinds of people on balconies talking to each other. It was fantastic. We took a big advantage of the chance to buy local food (salumeria, cheese maker and bread store are close by) and have a nice breakfast on the long table in the flat.

From the flat you can reach all important points in Ruvo di Puglia within an easy (max) 10 Minutes walk. Also some nice points of interest are close by (Matera (1h), Alberobello (1h), Ostuni (1,15h), Bari & Airport (30m) beaches within 15 to 30 Minutes driving which makes the apartment a good jump-off point for all kinds of activities.

We did not expect Ruvo to be this magical and untouched but will definitely come back very soon.

Silvana, mille grazie again and see you soon!
