“Brilliant Bari”

Bari is brilliant... but please don't tell anyone! Just a couple of hours by train from Naples through the most lush olive orchards, vineyards and vegetable garden every seen in Italy.

Bari is brilliant... but please don't tell anyone! Just a couple of hours by train from Naples through the most lush olive orchards, vineyards and vegetable garden every seen in Italy. Bari is the perfect spot to visit Alberobello (Trulli houses), Ostuni (the white city) and Posignano (by the sea)... and there are even more places that we missed! Olive trees planted by the Romans no less! Friendly people. Great staff at the hotel who make excellent recommendations to suit your needs! See PlacenPeople.com for tours. Bari is exciting and the Old Town beautiful. Excellent restaurants although you have to adjust to "bars versus restaurants" but I'm sure it all makes sense to the locals. Ferris wheel outside our window did not detract from the experience. Highly recommended!

As part of a group tour of Southern italy, we arrived in Bari and stayed at the only 5 star hotel in Bari-the iH hotels Bari Grande delle Nazioni, situated conveniently on the Lungomare. it was a nice sized hotel with a large lobby. The room I received was large, clean, spacious with a lot of natural light and high ceilings. The floor was wood, no carpets anywhere. The decor is somewhat dated but functional. It came with a large double bed, not too soft and there was a nice sized wide screen TV to view opposite the bed. . On the bed, there was a packet containing a robe and slippers. The bathroom is spacious, a lot of natural light and a toilet, bidet. and a shower with good water pressure. There was a large free standing closet [there are no built in closets in Italy] and in terms of temperature control, the room was comfortable. [This could be adjusted] A safe is in the bottom of the closet. Full mini bar. Room service was available if so desired and there was an electric coffee pot and adequate coffee and tea service but this lacked stirrers of any kind and powdered cream. You had to drink coffee black.[Caveat: clean the electric coffee pot out before you decide to use it.] Snacks were available for purchase. Steps are not clearly marked throughout the hotel and bannisters are at a minimum so one must be careful when walking. The floors are marble and one step is not clearly discernable from the next. Walk carefully, a fall could ruin your vacation. The breakfast was located on the 6th floor and was delicious with many choices-fresh fruit, croissants, breads of many kinds, prosciutto, fresh cheeses, etc. We had dinner with the group at this hotel since it was our first night there and the food and wine choices were superb-the appetizer we had was a penne pasta al dente peppered with cherry tomatoes and a tangy sauce. The entree was roasted chicken over potatoes with gravy. The Puglian wines were excellent. Overall, it was a very nice stay and i would recommend and return.

It was our first time in Bari and we very much enjoyed it. The staff at the reception was very helpful, and made some good recommendations on restaurants the few times we asked. The ambience and decoration was a bit eclectic. The location was excelent, just across from the beach, and a nice walk away from the historic sites. We even ran into a well known CNN personality. The food at the restaurant was OK, but the service was not optimal. We would stay again if we ever came back to Bari.
