This place is a real gem – we couldn’t have chosen better! Mrs. Agata, the owner, is a wonderful, warm, kind, and incredibly friendly person. From the very first moment, we felt like we were visiting good friends. We were welcomed by Mrs. Agata’s husband, who is just as kind and welcoming, confirming that we had found a truly special place. The apartment is in a perfect location – everything is close by, yet the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Cleanliness is top-notch; it’s clear the owners put a lot of heart into maintaining the place. Breakfasts are delicious – fresh, varied, and there’s definitely something for everyone. We also highly recommend this place for families with children. We stayed here with our little son, and the owners always greeted him with big smiles and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. We’d give more than a 10 if we could – if you’re looking for a place with heart, warmth, and a homey atmosphere, this is it!

This was a delightful, well-located, genuine family-run little B&B occupying a few rooms and one large suite in an old palazzo converted into a a modern mixed-use building in downtown Bari. Seven minutes’ walk from Bari Centrale station (much of it through an appealing park/series of nicely planted and landscaped squares abutting the university), not much farther from the old town and waterfront, and very near a pedestrianized high street with diverse and largely fashionable shopping and some nice cafés. The father, mother, and son team who run the place were exceedingly helpful, conscientious, and friendly, and the breakfast buffet is as good as suggested by other reviews. The suite had what looked like a brand-new, high-end bathroom (great shower), and fittings and finishings overall were stylish and spotless.

We had zero complaints. But some may find the face of the building, the lobby, and the stairs less impressive than the rooms themselves, which are far brighter and more thoroughly modernized. It looks better from within than without, basically, although we actually liked the exterior and hallways just fine. And the street may be somewhat busy and hard to park on for anyone trying to arrive by car, but it’s not loud, and we managed to drop off outside without incident.

Location as5 -10 min.walk to old Bari. Agata's dedication to guests & superb breakfasts. Room was luxury. Provides independence & phone contact with owners but lacks informal access to information etc.

Some mis communication improved with direct contact in English with son, Marco. 2 floors of stairs, for access could be an issue. 3 keys for access Lack of any English or French TV news channels. This was a v.important deficit for me. Late b'fast from 8.30am is impractical when day tours start at 8. .Agata is willing to offer earlier if this is communicated via son. Didn't work one day for me. B'fast cereal wd be good with a spoon,not the teaspoon. A card explaining 3 settings on balcony doors & how shower operates wd be helpful for newbies. Group of young girls used b'fast area next to bedrooms for rowdy,loud fun. Agata apologised next day as after 19+ hour journey I needed sleep but she could have told them to continue in their own room.

Bari 102 was the highlight of our trip to Italy! Everyone at the hotel was extremely helpful, friendly, and kind. The breakfast spread was perfect, wifi fast and free, bed extremely comfortable, and a shower to die for! The location could not be any better - central to the train station and to the old town. I highly recommend booking this hotel for your trip to Bari! The family truly goes above and beyond for your stay - we had to mail something back to another hotel and Agata helped us package and mail our postage out.

The rooms are not 100% sound proofed, but I've never stayed in a hotel where they are!

What a wholesome stay with Agata and her son Marco. The property is beautiful, very boutique. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. We stayed three in a room with a fold out couch - all very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast Is OUTSTANDING! So lovely to wake up to fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, pastries, charcuterie and eggs. The location is a 5-10min walk to station and Bari Vecchia, the port and 20min to the beach. Right in the centre of a great shopping and restaurant district. The warmth and hospitality of Agata is second to none - a beautiful lady. We greatly appreciated assistance on our final morning when our train to Venice was canceled, and organising a cab to the airport. Thank you Agata!

Fantastic breakfast. Better than any other we had in Italy. Agata was so freindly, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and information about the area. Her son Marco was there when we checked in and out, and helped us with our luggage. We really appreciated the help, since the rooms are up a long flight of stairs.They also let us check in early, since our room was ready. We loved our time in Bari, and Agata and her B&B were a real highlite. Beautiful. modern updated rooms. The shower was fantastic. Room was spotlessly clean.

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.

I booked my stay the day before arriving. This is the best b&b hotel I have stayed and my family travel all over the world. This property is exceptional for quality, style and value for money Location 10/10 - perfect location to explore Bari and beyond, short walk to the train station and bus. We used both. Breakfast 10/10 - Delicious selection of breakfast, freshly cooked eggs. Italian pastries were my favourite. Room comforts 10/10 - The rooms are stylish, spacious, clean, nice mini bar and the bathroom facilities and shower are comparable with a 5 star hotel. Friendly/ safe 10/10 - The owners of Bari102 are wonderful, I was travelling alone with my two children, they treated us like family. Guests are welcomed and treated with exceptional warmth and kindness. Their attention to detail and communication with guests before and during the stay is what I appreciated most. They allowed us to check in early, helped carry our luggage upstairs, provided information for visiting local towns and beaches, and loaned me a charger. I will be recommending this place to friends, it’s the best place to stay in Bari.

We received excellent and warm welcome from Agata and her family. Her breakfast is marvelous. Lots of variety to choose from. Most of all, Agata tries her best to communicate with us in English. Even though she has limited English ability, she gets her son to help translate for her or she engages us with google translate :). Love her and her family for being such excellent host. Love the location. This property sits just behind Via Sparano, their shopping belt. The unit that we were put in was one of the biggest room from her. The ceiling was tall within this suite, beautiful lightings were used to display the charm of the italian dome ceiling. I must say Agata have good taste to use good illuminators for her room. I will definitely return back to visit her if i do get a chance to visit Bari again.

There is nothing that we didn't like at all! An excellent 2 nights we had.

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.
