A great place for a short stay (like ours) and even more for a longer one.
Michele and the rest of the family team (there is one!) have been of invaluable assistance on several occasions, providing additional services, sharing advice and information and generally creating an environment where we felt almost part of the area. Examples: where to have breakfast, pizza or proper meal locally, bringing us from the airport and giving pointers about places in and around Bari. All of these worked perfectly.
Location: quiet and cool (important in the summer), including a properly vaulted ground floor and basement, well appointed, with private courtyard. Quiet and simple residential area. On the other hand, it takes 30 minutes to the main railway station (including reaching the train), so you need to plan your day carefully, if you haven't got a car.
You may want to double check about anything in particular that you need the use of in the house, just to make sure it is there, or needs to be fetched.
I recommend it wholeheartedly
