Location and owners

It was hard to find. This was our first time in Italy and we were looking for an address on the outside of the building.

We loved our stay here. The apartment is in a very nice part of town and it’s easy to find from the station. Entrance is via a stairway but it wasn’t difficult for us. We travel with hand luggage only. Marco greeted us at the door and was very welcoming. The apartment is magnificent. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s modern but has been decorated in a considered style that is very stylish. Our room,number 3 was very spacious and extremely comfortable. The bed, pillows and fabulous bathroom were above our expectations. Agata our host is sn excellent cook and our breakfast was delicious. A cooked breakfast was available but we didn’t need it as the buffet selections were more than enough. The coffee was the best we’ve had so far. Netflix was a great distraction after a delicious meal in the town.

Absolutely nothing.

10/10 is an understatement. This is by far one of the BEST B and Bs I have ever been to!It is perfect in every way. First of all, the hosts are the nicest and most genuine people! They truly take such pride in offering comfort and top notch experiences. The building feels extremely safe and secure. The rooms are so spacious and impeccably kept! The decor is modern and everything is so tastefully decorated. It has a comfortable mattress with premium bedding and towels. The soaps seem to be of luxurious European quality. And, there were other unexpected items like slippers, a toothbrush kit, a fridge stocked with a variety of beverages, a Nespresso coffee machine and little treats here and there. There are plenty of tables/shelves to put things on, chairs to sit, hangers, a closet, excellent lighting and blackout doors. The air conditioning worked and allowed for a most comfortable stay! It is so close to absolutely everything! As soon as I arrived, I wished I had booked longer! The breakfast spread had everything your heart could desire for breakfast. It was abundant!!!! All B and Bs need to take note of how this one is run! I enjoyed my stay here so much and am sincerely grateful.

We booked this property because we have never stayed in a hotel with a perfect 5/5 rating on Google and wanted to see if it lived up. And my god, it did! and then went beyond it. Everything about bari 102 is perfect. The location is fabulous - right in the heart of the city center but also very close to the station (very handy as we took many day trips from Bari). The rooms are gigantic and the bedsheets are the best we have slept on. We have travelled extensively in Europe and stayed in many 5 star hotels but Bari 102 steals the show. We booked the suite room - it had two basins, a very high tech shower area, robes, toiletries etc. It's a huge bathroom with a separate living area and a separate bedroom. It's like having a luxury house. They cleaned our rooms spotlessly every single day. The breakfast is amazing - the best quality cold cuts, juices, fresh fruits etc. The room even had a beautiful balcony. Lastly, but most importantly - it's impossible to stay at Bari 102 and not fall in love with Agata and her son Marco. Agata should teach the big hotel chains how hospitality should be done cause she's an absolute pro at managing this property. She is kind and makes you feel super welcome. I'm currently in talks with separating from my mother and checking if Agata will adopt me. Haha. Just joking. Basically, yes Bari 102 was totally worth the hype. It's worth every penny.

Agata and her family are the most amazing hosts I have ever stayed with!! They were so kind and helpful! They helped us book taxis, find restaurants, got us water bottles, and had a fully stocked mini fridge everyday! Agata responded so quickly every time we texted her, and she was so helpful! The rooms and bathrooms were HUGE! (Not something you always find in Europe). Everything was decorated beautifully and updated! The breakfast was amazing! Such a large spread of food, and they offered to make eggs every morning! The location was fabulous! Very central location for both the train station and the old town! We used Bari as our home base for day trips to all the surrounding cities and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay than Bari 102!

It was the perfect location. Tastefully renovated exceptionally clean. The hosts could not have been more helpful, generous and kind. The breakfast provided was just exceptional, everything you could want in a buffet plus fresh cooked cakes and scrambled eggs. The host carried my bags up the stairs for me. They were so friendly and wanted to know where we came from and a bit about our lives. Honestly, I have never felt so welcome in any accommodation. Absolutely 5 star! I heartily recommend.

Nothing. It was perfect.

The location of the property is central, next to Bari's shopping precinct, and 10 mins walk to the train station on one side and Bari's old town on the other. While the property is a small B&B, you wouldn't tell this looking at the breakfast offered. Hosts Agata and Marco went out of their way to provide a variety of breakfast options and to accommodate guests' requests. Pre-check-in communication via WhatsApp was also great. Totally recommended.

The property does not have a lift, but the staff help to carry the luggage to the first floor where the rooms are located. While still not a norm in many apartments in Italy and security is not an issue whatsoever, I would suggest that the hosts consider installing safe deposit boxes in the rooms, which would add to the property attraction for future guests.

Lovely room, big, very confortable, big and lovely balcony. The bed and sheets were the best- even asked Agata if they sells nearby. The minifridge is free and they include all beverages all the time. I asked glúten free option for breakfast, and very day, they are a buch of options, with different cookies and bread, etc no necessary, because we have a lot of fresh fruit (really several options) and eggs. Also buratas! A lot of cheese and salami and ham. The last day I had to check out early, and Agata sent me 3 packages of different glúten free options eat on my way. Agata and Marco her son, are helpftul and great hosts. Perfect location as well.

Everything was Perfect

Everything! Bari was a wonderful surprise for us. The apartment is reached by a flight of stairs which were not difficult. Our room was very spacious and the bed and pillows were the best we have experienced in 3 weeks of travel. Agata is so lovely, her exceptional breakfast was a delight. The apartment is stylishly decorated in a very smart part of the city. We enjoyed it so much we booked it again at the end of our Puglia adventure. Nothing was too much trouble for Agata, she offered us hot drinks on our return as we had both caught nasty colds. Netflix was a great touch as it rained during our stay.

Everything is considered and we couldn’t fault anything

Marco and Agata were extremely kind and welcoming hosts- they made sure everything was clean, organized and to our liking. I would totally stay here again and hope too! The accommodations were modern and comfortable, they offered coffees and freshly scrambled eggs at breakfast. Love that the room had a desk and ample outlets, and the beverages in the fridge were included. They are doing everything right as a European B&B, and in this trip alone we stayed in 5 total B&Bs or hotels. Theirs was buy far the best.
