We spent the first 3 nights of the holiday in Bari, where we stayed at the Villa Romanazzi Carducci. We had a large family room with two double beds, which unfortunatley overlooked the railway lines- nevermind. The rooms were excellent great air con, the outside temp reached 42 degrees - but we slept like babies. The breakfast were excellent, with... more

As we drove into Bari from the airport, we got a little worried as the neighbourhood was seedy and rundown. And our hotel was situated just next to the railway tracks. Once inside however, it was a little paradise with a beautiful garden (palm trees and all) and a new building with a nice bar/restaurant and big comfortable rooms (the... more

I had a hotel reservation made for this hotel. 10 days later, they emailed me to say that they would not honour my booking. There reason for saying they had overbooked. I would not have confidence with this hotel when making a reservation. more

I was hoping to attend the Italy v Ireland football match in Bari so I made a reservation with this hotel via the www.accor.com website and received a full confirmation. However, without any consultation, the hotel cancelled my reservation. I understand that they have attempted to cancel the reservations of several other football fans for the same night. It's hard... more

Before booking, I had a look at the reviews on trip advisor and I was a bit worried that it was in a dodgy area. I have to say, it isn't odgy at all. It is in a residential area, which most europeans (especially those who have been to greece, spain etc.) will be fine with. It certainly is safe.... more

A modern hotel set in delightful grounds with the old villa nearby --- but in a scruffy part of Bari about 15 minutes walk from the train station and 25 minutes from the old town. Our "superior room" was large with a view over the railway lines and, surprisingly, a shower rather than a bath. Excellent triple-glazing meant there was... more

My wife and I stayed at the Villa Romanazzi Carducci while I attended a conference in Bari. This was a very good choice. My initial impression of the hotel was not good due to it's surrundings...a rather dingy neighborhood along a busy street. It is literally on the wrong side of the tracks from the center of Bari. However, once... more

We stayed here for 4 nights. The room had two queen size beds, a divan, minibar and was very tastefully decorated. The location is supposed to be within walking distance of Bari Centrale train station, and it is except that it would be very difficult to walk with baggage. The streets were pretty dirty; lots of litter but as soon... more

We stayed 3 nights Saturday 17-Tuesday 20 July 2004. As the previous reviewer noted, this hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the Central Railway Station along a road in a dry, rather rundown part of Bari. Just as you reach a crossing over the rail line, on the left is this hotel surrounded by lush gardens. Acquired we were... more
