Avigliano Holidays from £273

This hotel was simply DREAMY! My "cave room" was on three small levels, and each was incredible. The luxurious bathroom, built into the cave on the first level was spacious and inviting, with a tub and a shower as well as a closet. On the mezzanine, was my bed, inviting, with fresh, crisp sheets. On the third level was a chase lounge, looking over magical Sassi. This was the first stop on my 3 weeks in Italy's Puglia region, and was a welcome retreat, as I caught up on rest and relaxed after a long US --> Italy journey. The shutters closed, providing a dark, cool room that helped me catch up on sleep. The location accessible to everything I wanted to see, without being noisy. Breakfast was lovely, and the staff was super helpful (and spoke English). I highly recommend this specific hotel!

Wonderful staff, incredible breakfast!

Our stay at the BRA Hotel Bari was simply outstanding and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were second to none, and they always went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The room was beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and offered every comfort you could ask for. The luxurious finishes, comfortable bed, and thoughtful amenities made it a pleasure to return to after exploring the beautiful city of Bari. The dining experience was equally exceptional. Breakfast offered an impressive selection of fresh, high-quality products, and every meal we enjoyed was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The rooftop restaurant was a true highlight, combining outstanding cuisine with a wonderful atmosphere. The hotel's central location made it easy to walk to Bari's best shops, restaurants, and historic attractions, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. BRA Hotel is a true five-star experience in every sense. If you're looking for luxury, impeccable service, outstanding food, and an unforgettable stay in Bari, look no further. We can't wait to return!

The palazzo is a lovely old house in the center of town right off the main square. The secret sauce here is the large, beautiful garden in back and the extremely personalized service. The staff makes every effort to please and assist. The general approach is thoughtful and old school in a nice way. We had a large room facing the street that was comfortable with high ceilings and lots of space. Bernalda, at first, seems like a not particularly lovely little town but it does grow on you. The house is infused by the interests and personality of the owner Francis Ford Coppola -- probably the principal reason most people visit. Fortunately, the hotel mostly lives up to the expectations...
