A long stay in the laughably named Grand for three months was a lesson in "Getting Fleeced" from Bar Staff to Management, not only was I over-charged and short-changed by Bar Staff at every chance I was over-charged on check-out by the management. My Shabby, Bleak & Over- Priced Room/Apartment was due Refirbishment in 1975, the Hotel Green Pool resembled... more

We stayed at the Riva del Sole for 1 night prior to our mid morning flight from Bari. We chose the Riva for it's close proximity to the airport and that there was ample safe,free parking. Just some observations for future travellers. The hotel seems to be a "one night stop-over hotel" and it serves that purpose- it's about 2... more

We spent three nights in this hotel. I've found it as a good hotel with good services and attention. The room was comfortable. They have a good transfer service between Bari's airport and the hotel. If you think to spend more days there, I suggest to rent a car because it is located 6km far from Giovinazzo's downtown and 14... more

We arrived by Ferry from Corfu early in the morning to find that we had a distance to travel from Bari Port to our hotel which was in the middle of nowhere. It was scortching hot and the very taxi fare was Euros 45. The rooms were adequate but the view of the sea was way off beyond other units.... more

This was the one real disappointment of the hotels we stayed in on a 12-day romantic getaway in Puglia. This particular hotel is a few kilometres from the somewhat charming village of Giovinazzo. I think it's probably good for business travelers but that's about it. The staff only seemed to notice us when we decided to check out after one... more

My husband & I stayed at this hotel 27th & 28th March2007. Highly recommend. The hotel itself was beautiful, the coastline stunning .Giovinazzo itself is a beautiful village. Plenty of eating places & friendly locals. The staff at the hotel are very friendly & welcoming especially the barman and the breakfast waitress. My husband (normally a tea drinker) complimented the... more
