There was nothing to dislike.

From the moment we arrived the owner helped us settling in. Carlo is very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. The property dates from 1820, and all the furniture was kept as if in a time warp. Carlo stocked the small kitchen with all the necessities for snacking and breakfast. There were ample supplies which was topped up the next day. There is parking available on the premises. The area is quiet and very peaceful. We were given our own keys to come and go as we pleased. Great restaurants are within walking distance from the Villa, following the coastline next to the shore.

The kitchen is really small, you can’t cook a meal. You can fry or boil an egg. Breakfast is very basic.

Great location. Old historic villa, much charm.

Our host was very thoughtful and the fridge was very well stocked with everything for a good breakfast. There was also coffee and tea and a bottle of red wine on the table. The location is stunning, right near the sea. The house itself is a jewel, with antique furniture arranged with great taste. Everything is perfectly preserved, it really makes you fell like you travel through time. The host, Carlo, is very nice and helpful and really makes you feel at home.

NOTHING !

Really excellent! One of the best hotel stay experiences we ever had. The ultimate? Without any doubt the host, Carlo, himself. In a great mood, smiling, friendly, oriented towards hospitality.

All was great! Nothing to complain.

That was fantastic weekend! Beautiful villa full of antiques and original items. A treat for lovers of vintage style. Room are quite big, with private bathroom. Fully equipped including a small but sufficient kitchenette. Great hospitality of Carlo - owner. The sea is in front of house, behind the street. View from our room was amazing 😍. Train or bus to Bari Central.

The owner doesen't speak english, only italian. You can pay only cash. The bathroom is very small. And the breakfast included is almost a joke. You have in the room 1 induction plate and in the fridge 4 egs. some bread. butter. and jam. NOT some slices of ham or cheese so you make 1 sandwich. You can cook the eggs whatever you like. I think this is the only good part of the breakfast.

Old villa full of history. Like you are staying in a museum. And a beautiful large garden in front. And the view of the sea in the morning when you drink your coffee from your terrace - incredible. Very kind and helpfull host.

Amazing villa full of history that exceeded our expectations. The location is great, the view from the terrace is wonderful and the host Carlo is really nice and helpful. The interior is beautiful and the room is very spacious and clean. The villa is close to the bus station (5 minutes walking), train station (10 minutes walking) and the airport (15 euro with a taxi). Carlo recommended a great restaurant (Al Paradise) very close to the villa, which had delicious food. We definitely recommend this villa and wish we could have stayed longer.

Nice location, a lovely journey back in time. You feel exactly like in a museum. But not recomended if you expect a luxurious 5* hotel experience.

Stayed in August 2022

It is very special accommodation. The location is amazing, the villa is amazing, I felt the history there. The host Carlo is really nice , friendly. I just felt home, but in the same time like in paradise, or in a movie<3.

I’ve never been to a B&B where breakfast included meant making it yourself from the contents of the fridge in your room. The fridge had a very limited range on offer, with minimal cooking facilities and nowhere to put cooking utensils except on the hob. Also the toilet shower area was VERY small and a larger than average person would find it difficult to sit on the toilet! Another odd factor was that the owner only accepted cash - no credit cards! I don’t recall seeing that when I booked.

Beautiful house in 19th century decor and furniture made you feel you had stepped back in time.

We didn’t experience any negative aspect, and do not understand some earlier remarks about old floors and beds. Part of being in a historical building.

Classic Italian Aristratic House near Bari, with great sea vieew and great host-owner, who knows what hospitality is. The love for his ancient villa and family history impressed us. For those loving science, historical bio-medical research in particular will love his small “museum” full of old manuscripts.
