B&B Palazzo San Michele

Quality of the accommodation was first class and well kept. The location was perfect and whilst on a vibrant street you couldn't hear any noise from the apartment. The lady that looked after us at breakfast was great, it was like having breakfast with family each morning.

Having to leave at the end of our stay, we will be back.

Location and staff

The fee to use the hot tub!

The B&B consists of two separates units, above a take-away food shop. Location is excellent, just into the Old Town. 15 minutes’ walk from Bari Centrale train station. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Although a small balcony overlooks the pedestrian street, we heard no street noise at all.. Room was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, comfortable bed, modern bathroom, with a great shower. Fantastic air conditioning, (needed in the Italian mid-summer!), a safe and mini fridge. More than ample traditional breakfast, toast, pastries, ham & cheese etc, served by a lovely lady…coffee was great. On arrival you need to collect the keys from the “La tana del Polpo” restaurant across the street. ##Note, there is no need to lock the door, at street level, with the key when you leave to go out, just pull the door shut behind you; we nearly locked everyone out!

If I really had to be pushed on any minor negatives, the wifi signal, router was on the first-floor half landing, didn’t reach our room on the second floor, although 2.5 & 5 Ghz signals were available. Being from the UK, we love our cup of tea first-thing in the morning. a kettle/cups would have been welcomed, and perhaps some fresh fruit, melon/grapes/blueberry etc. at breakfast If you have any form of mobility issue, this will not be the place for you. One of the staircases is on the narrow side.

Great location, large room, large modern bathroom

No communication on how to access the property. No response to my messages. Even when we arrived at the Octopus Street Food shop next door it took some time for the lady behind the counter to get hold of the owner for the keys. Smell of octopus
