Almarea B&B Trani

Close to the seafront, air conditioned, quiet, separate sleeping space for kids, decent kitchen facility, coffee and tea available

Would have been nice to have a map showing some useful locations like where to buy pastries for breakfast ( just up the street it turns out), where to get bus tickets, where the grocery store is, etc. Also would be nice if there was a dish sponge in the kitchen.

La propreté de la chambre était parfaite, l’emplacement est parfait aussi. L’accès à la chambre est très facile. Vous êtes en plein cœur de Trani, pas dans un centre touristique mais dans la vrai Italie. Vous sortez et vous êtes directement dans le vieux Trani, les Italiens sortent les chaises le soir et refont monde. Vous êtes à 5min à pied de la côte et de la grand place de Trani. Vu sur la mer cathédrale, château. Tout y est. Vous avez envie de sortir et d’aller boire un verre le Macrè, petit bar nouveau, est juste à côté. Accessible en 2min à pied. Bref tout était parfait.

Seul petit bémol, il n’y a pas de parking « légal » devant ou dans la résidence. Le parking le plus proche est à 5min à 4€ par jour ce qui en soit n’est pas grave mais à noter quand même.

Absolutely amazing property. So clean and beautifully decorated. Perfect location in the city centre. A great piazza right outside where there are restaurants, a mini-market and a bar. Everything you need is just a couple of minutes walk. There is free tea and coffee, a selection of books, sweets, and water in the fridge upon arrival. These were all just added extras and completely unexpected. The checkin process was so easy. The hosts were responsive and friendly. I would definitely come back!

The only thing to keep in mind is the stairs leading up to the property — there’s no elevator, as is common in these historic buildings in the city centre. However, if you want a location this central and full of character, it’s absolutely worth it. The view, the atmosphere, and the convenience of having everything within walking distance more than make up for this small detail.

The entry and leave of the apartment went smoothly thanks to the key locker, the host provided every important information regarding this, even a small video. The apartment is very close all attractions of Trani by foot (approx. 5 mins), to the train station (approx. 10 mins) and some supermarkets such as Coop, Eurospar, Eurospin (approx. 15 mins). The beach is about the same distance, 10-20 mins by walk. Even if it only has one big window, the room is very bright and clean. The upper floors are easily accesible via a sturdy staircase. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked up with decent tools, the bathroom has bodywash, sampoo and even conditioner, furthermore they provided 3 different sized towels. The AC was a lifesaver, considering the weather was 25-35 C all week, even in the evenings. There was a shared coffee machine in the main hall, with different tasty coffee capsules, that the host provided free of charge. They even had a booklet with useful and super tips about where to go around the area. Molfetta is definitely worth a visit.

The stairs to the apartment was very steep, and the stairway was in quite a bad shape. The fridge is way too small and there is no sharp knife in the drawer. The toilet paper is not the best quality, you should consider buying your own. There is no broom or mop, the garbage collection system is quite complicated, but you don't have to worry about it if you don't want to. A drying rack would have been nice, but there is none. Although this is not a minus, but if you plan to stay there longer, a washing machine would be neat.
