Maurizio the manager does pick you up at the airport or the train. just look for the van that sports the name of the hostel on the side! you will be welcomed and asked for you passport on arrival at the hostel, but it will be returned to you very quickly so dont worry. Private rooms or a dorm, that is your choice. THE SHOWERS ARE POWERFUL AND HOT! if you forget a towel, just asked and you can probally use one from the hostel; IF YOU ARRIVE WITH DIRTY LAUNDRY OR GET CAUGHT IN THE RAIN, the laundry person will be happy to wash a load for you for bout 7 euro!..MAURIZIO IS A GREAT COOK! and cooks lunch eachday, let him know in the am so he can plan accordingly! HE DOES A GREAT PASTA!, and the bread is fresh each day from the pane store.. the hostel has two friendly dogs that are more than bilingual! this adds to the homey feeling! the bus goes directly in front of the hostel to the citta central or to ostuni! Or the beach! take care and maybe ill see you there!! Ive taken lots of pics... more
