The hotel is located in a nice place close to Bari. The room was clean, well equipped and warm. They upgraded us to a better room. Everything was very good and as expected for a 4 star hotel. One item that stands out is the top class breakfast. Best breakfast of our travel where we stayed in 7 hotels. Maybe even our best breakfast in Italy.

This hotel was a great stop-over for one night, my only wish is that I had more time to spend there.
The grounds a beautiful, it’s got a nice big pool and it’s right on the beach. Dinner and breakfast were great.

Receptionists were friendly and welcoming, they arranged a shuttle to the airport without costs and assisted with leaving our luggage at the hotel after the check out until our flight time.

Just one night after late arrival to Bari airport. The air condition in the room did not work. The room felt like a sauna. Not value for money.
Breakfast and check out was good.

The room was modernized and very clean. The daily breakfast was well organized with a good selection. The hotel felt overly subdued in that there were no live entertainment. We did not see any staff or people out by the pool or at the beach. While we understand that it’s off season, it would be nice to have coffee and bar service in the middle part of the day. The hotel needs new carpet and landscaping. A lot of dead vegetation and shrubs.
