Hotels in Puglia, Italy

Hello, I've put together a list of the hotels we have booked for a visit in October. If any fellow travelers have experience with these hotels and would share their opinions good or bad for some or all, we would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Just looking for thoughts on cleanliness, quiet location or party central, helpfullness of staff? We're not expecting perfection but would like to avoid the big headaches. Thank you.

  1. Bari: Al Pescatore.
  2. Monopoli: Sorelle Barnaba
  3. Alberobello: Masseria Rosa Trulli Relais
  4. Lecce: Casa Dei Mercanti
  5. Bari: Parco dei Principi

I returned from Bari two days ago.....my question is why do you have two stays in the city?

Why not transfer immediately to Monopoli on your first day..?

5 is a big modern airport hotel......spend the money you are paying there and stay in a nice hotel in the city and take a taxi to BRI.

No idea why that text is so LARGE???!!!

Thanks for your response, Ekscrunchy. #5 hotel is because of a 6 a.m. flight. My motivation for picking that airport hotel is to hopefully reduce my husband's anxiety about catching that early flight. I'm going with whatever makes it easy.

When we had an early flight out of Bari, we stayed in Giovinazzo, less than ten minutes drive from airport and a charming town. Bari airport is small and both times I visited were stress free.

Hi, I’ve stayed in all of those cities multiple times in the last three years. None of the lodging you’ve listed are ones where I’ve stayed, so I can’t help with that specific question of their adequacy.

Hope you have a great time! I was just in that area a week ago and had perfect weather!
