Borgo Fontana B&B

Rose and Giuseppe served us a beautiful breakfast and also packed us a to go bag for our early checkout the next day! Such nice hosts. The taxi they ordered for us was on time and fine to get us to the airport.

The breakfast was very nice. The door for my room at the top of the first stairway was a bi-fold closet door with a lock added. (I walked past it at first thinking it was a storage closet.) I take safety very seriously, so I did not like staying in a room without a solid secure door. Also, the lights in the room & bathroom would often flash.

An amazing breakfast fixed by Rosa. We had an early departure and she still cooked us a wonderful hot meal. The room was in a good location to explore the historic district. It’s a small room with very steep stairs, but not unexpected for the historical area.

Location was fantastic as was the breakfast! Our hosts were delightful. Difficult to find.

Charming, nicely decorated. Host doesn't speak English, but used Google Translate to communicate. Very good cook. Gave us good dinner recommendations and helpful advice. Located in the old city. Very happy with this stay.

Rosa, the owner, was wonderful. She actually baked the pastries she served for breakfast. I'm a baker and pretty critical of baked goods- hers were excellent. Plus fruit, yoghurt, eggs in a delicious frittata. Lots of coffee. The location is perfect- in the historic district. But on a dead end walking street so pretty quiet. Even the beds were comfy- a rarity in Italy as they are usually very hard. Nothing!!

To reach the B&B, we had to walk with our luggage about 5 minutes through an area that was dirty and full of dog’s shit. It is not the B&B’s owner fault, but it gives a bad impression. It was quite nasty to walk towards the property. The property has lots of stairs.

Central location in the historical center, beautiful room, quiet neighborhood, lovely breakfast, very hospitable hosts. A bit far - 20 min walk from the train station and even further from the bus station (I came from Matera and train option was rather limited). I tried to contact the taxi number provided by the host but unable to reach. Shower lost hot water just after a few minutes. The host was kind enough to let me use shower in another unoccupied guest room. This seemed a common issue in B&B in historical buildings in Italy. One needs to carefully budget the shows time and hot water usage.

Everything was amazing- very comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom with rain shower with excellent water pressure. Most of all Rosa’s hospitality and plentiful breakfast was over the top. We highly recommend and would love to stay again. Nothing

The property location is superb! Rosa’s breakfast is sublime…she cooks a new, fresh dish every morning and brings very special pastries from the local bakery…along with espresso with foam. It was the best way to start our day in Bari! The bed is a very welcome after a long day’s journey! We had such a good stay there with another couple. Highly recommended! The property is a wonderful gem.

Great location, quiet, clean, nice breakfast, very friendly staff, smooth self-checking Steep narrow stairs.

Rosa is a great host, and she makes a wonderful breakfast (with delectable local delights). Her husband even gave us a ride to the Bari airport so that we could pick up our rental car. It was a delight to speak with Rosa at breakfast and to learn not only about her and her family but also about Bari. It was our first visit to Bari, and being in the old section of the city was great; we were able to walk to the sites, from the Colosso, to the cathedral, to the cantina della Disfida di Barletta. Our room was perfect, and the attached bathroom had something I've never seen before but that is a stroke of typical Italian genius: instead of a whole separate fixture for the bidet, there was a small faucet (regulatable hot to cold, and strenth of water pressure) and a short hose ending with a spray, and you use this over the toilet: perfect. Make your reservations and go stay there: your stay in Italy is already so much better!

Not clear from the description that there are other guest staying in the same location so just be aware that the bottom floor is a shared space.

Very cute B&B with the nicest owner. Centrally located, lovely breakfast made specially for you by Rosa.

Centrally located with easy access by train. Located in the historical centre with easy access to sites and restaurants. The owner operator responds quickly and assists you with anything you require. Check in was through a lock box which is convenient and she confirmed our arrival. They arranged a taxi to take us to the airport in the early morning which was appreciated. Rooms were clean, but small, with the stairs leading to the second floor very steep. Breakfast was excellent. A great place to stay and we can heartily recommend. the stairs

The drain in the shower didn’t work

Proximity to all the old town sites! The hosts are so kind and welcoming! Excellent breakfasts and they arranged a taxi pickup for us and walked us to the pickup spot. Very quiet location and comfortable bed. The cappuccinos were delicious! Difficult to find the first time (it was a dark and rainy night). Stairs are steep with lots of luggage

The hosts were exceptional! Lovely people, accommodating and welcoming!

The location, in the heart of the Old City of Bari, was great. The B and B was located in a small courtyard, so a bit off the beaten track, but easy to find. The host was very responsive (via text messages) and we got into the building and our room very easily. (Nice that we had early check-in.). The room was also very clean, but simple. Because we had to depart for the airport before the time that breakfast was served (8:30 a.m.), the host's husband actually drove us to the airport, which was unexpected and amazing. We did not meet the host until we were waiting for our taxi (which the host had arranged) the next day -- so she could let us know that her husband was taking us to the airport (which was super nice.). The stairs to our room were fairly steep, so moving luggage up is not so easy. I would have liked breakfast to have been served earlier -- or at least some breakfast rolls or pastries left out.
