Search hotels in Foggia

the owner's where fabulous and so attentive that they treated us like family and made our trip there so beautiful and memorable. A stay like no other and views of the countryside was so wonderful. The food was very good, a place to go back and spend more time. You will diffidently love this place.

The cafe /bar/ restuarant called Momento was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was simply amazing ! The best place I have been to in Italy for aperol spritz ( and I've tried a few !) Foggia itself was dissappointing. We arrived on Friday : the museum was closed until Monday, the Park was closed until the evening, the Basillica was closed. I expected the shops to be closed for siesta but even many cafes and bars were too! I asked at a newspaper stand ( just as he was closing) if I could buy a map of Foggia - He told me 'no - who comes to Foggia ?' I am sure if Foggia made a little effort it could get on the visitor map, unfortunetly at the moment if seems as if they can't be bothered.

We used Foggia as a jump point for Vieste. Trained in from Padova, picked up a car and then trained on to Napoli. Very convenient. Interesting little town. The area near the station is a bit run down but the rest of the town is attractive and we had a couple of excellent meals there.

Foggia is an interesting large town but be aware it has a bit of a crime problem. You're unlikely to be robbed, but don't walk around with your bag open and anything really valuable is probably best left in the hotel safe. There are some streets that at night, you can walk down, but you probably don't want to linger for long... you get people trying to sell you illegal substances and so on... you find the same thing in Rome, I know, but just to point out that Foggia is not as "peaceful" as many towns in Puglia you can visit. There are, it has to be said, many prettier towns to visit in Puglia (Martina Franca, for instance, or Brindisi, or Otranto) and if you want a city, Bari and Lecce are more sophisticated and prettier (especially Lecce).

Foggia was intended to be a one night stop between Naples and Bari. So, arrived & found (lateish in the afternoon) a menu del dia at Osteria Numero dieci. Purea di fave taglitelle; and then could not resist the remaining 'fish' on the menu- octopus with potatoes. Add in bread, wine and coffee...€10. That evening the Osteria was fully booked inside...and some were sitting outside....and I started there but thought perhaps I could I find somewhere a little warmer for my food. And so I did.

A very casual friendly place, and it hasn't been invaded by tourism. It's easy to walk to where you want to go. It's a refreshing change to just enjoy the culture without rushing from one ' must see' to another.
