Beautiful place, the pool could use a bit of an upkeep / refresh but otherwise, perfect and enjoyable. Grounds are very well kept and peaceful to walk through. Restaurant was great and convenient. Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms - not an overly big deal but if you’re planning to use it, important not to rely on it. Would stay again.

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!

We loved everything about this property. The grounds are beautiful from the lavender lined side walls to the acres of olive trees. The staff could not be more accommodating from when we pulled into the parking lot and Joseppe came running out to help with bags to every other server going out of their way to make our stay special. We love a smaller hotel and appreciate the attention to every detail. The room was perfect, bed was comfortable and shower was also great. At night we sat on our patio under the olive trees and drank wine, so special. The restaurant was also very good. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and our waitor(can’t remember his name, great smile though) was great. We loved our stay!!!
