    Very helpful staff

    rating31 May 2026

    good location, very helpful staff, great breakfast. Restaurant by the sea was good with limited gluten free options. Room standard was fine and good bathroom. Helpful to us as cyclists. Free transfer from the airport a bit delayed but back to the airport was fine. Lovely shady garden, looked like a good pool but we didn't try it. Relaxed atmosphere, would go back again.

    Puglia Holiday 2026

    rating13 Apr 2026

    End of our Puglia Holiday hotel, wanted something close to Bari Airport. Nice hotel beautiful grounds and seating areas inside and out.Breakfast had alot of options, hotel staff very nice and accomodating. We only stayed one night in the spring, felt a bit isolated as I hear come summer it's crazy. Walked to the beach and was very disappointed in the amount of garbage. Not the hotel's issue but perhaps all the places around there need to find a way to keep it cleaner.

    Generally a nice and quite area

    rating20 Sept 2025

    The location of the hotel does lend to renting or having a car available,but the hotel does have a shuttle that will take you to the nearest town/rail station if you only want the odd day out.The atmospere was generally friendly with reception and the internal bar staff being first class.The room was spacious enough and was kept very clean by the cleaning staff only fault was it was very hot and bathroom has under floor heating that was constantly on.Apart from what appeared to be a late night rave going on about a mile down the road on our first night it was very quite.It has a large beach area and a private pool and the area is perfect if you just wish to sunbath.The only problem we encountered was the beach resturant a beautiful setting as the sun going down but we ate here 3 times and on 2 was very disappointed.Qverall a nice place with a good mix of nationalities staying here and friendly staff.

    Everything great until the dogs start.

    rating06 Sept 2025

    I'm going to be as fair as possible with this review as currently staying here.Hotel - is lovely, very clean, staff friendly and helpful. Room is nice and bed very comfy. Good choice for breakfast. Felt the lunch offering at the beach bar could do with more options as very limited. You are miles from anything and a bus journey away. Busses are good though, cheap and do seem to run on time.Pool is nice and quiet, bring your swim cap but it is hit and miss as to whether the lifeguards pick you up on it. Beach is nice but rocky and beach shoes a must. It can be breezy but that's nice with the heat. Sunbeds are not the best and not comfy.BUTNote the residence in the title. What this translates to is, dogs barking constantly through the night. Do not shut up. I dont know if this depends on which room you're in but it is relentless, been here 7 nights and 7 nights of disturbed sleep, this is the only reason we would not return.
