Villa al Mare B&B

Great location in Giovinazzo near the promenade and a public beach. Raffaela is an incredible host who goes above and beyond to ensure her guests' comfort. Even though I am a light sleeper and could hear other guests during the day, it was quiet at night. The breakfast is a lovely touch! n/a

Great location! Loved the breakfast the next morning. N/A

Location, host, heater, comfortable bed, breakfast That I couldn’t stay longer

This location is quiet and convenient, only a 15-minute walk to the old town. The place is immaculately clean, grounds are lovely and peaceful, and the hosts went out of their way to ensure I had a wonderful stay. The bed and pillows were SO comfortable…I got fantastic sleep! Raffaella was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful breakfast buffet. The porch was lovely to sit on and enjoy the nice weather. The bed was comfortable and all a

Exceptional

Quiet and very relaxing. Helpful patient owners Good choice buffet breakfast, always plenty I think it would have been better to have a car. The trek to and from town was a bit hard.

You will find Villa al Mare to be a very comfortable stay. The owners are very nice & accommodating…thank you. The bed is very comfortable…I have a bad back…affording a very good sleep. Free, secure parking onsite is a plus. Multiple options for breakfast was very appreciated & welcomed…awesome coffee machine. You’ll have a very nice walk (15 mins) into the Historical centre…perfect to walk off dinner. The restaurant around the corner, on the waterfront is very good…I recommend highly. Make sure you don’t accidentally turn off the hot water tank…there are 3 switches, look at the red light on the water tank to see that it’s still on.

Rafaella is taking great care of us: fresh breakfasts every morning, the bedsheet are being changed everyday and even the towels. The owner personally welcomes you, which is very nice. Perhaps changing the bedsheets and towels is not sustainable on the long term.. ? ;)

Raffaella was an excellent host. I placed a booking at very short notice, yet she accepted it and was very prompt and efficient at communicating via the booking.com app. It s a place with character, clean and comfortable. I didn’t spend much time to explore the location properly but it was easy to get to and conveniently close to the airport. It seems to be a very summery location.

Very comfortable and welcoming Nothing

Prime location! Very close to the airport. Convenient to get around and to the center. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is fantastic. Large variation of fresh pastries and cheese, ham, coffee, etc. The host was very welcoming and sweet. We had 2 large suitcases so it was a bit hard to open it in the room :)

Very charming place, nice and clean room, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful owner, parking place in front of the house, only 15 min by car from Bari airport.

Beautiful house. Room is perfect. Breakfast is amazing. Host is very friendly and caring. Location is just fine - beautiful walk by the sea to the center. Good for motorbike travelers, park inside the property, secure and closed. Always again

I had a great stay at Villa al Mare. Raffaella, the owner, is really very friendly and helpful. I immediately felt like I was in good hands. The room is lovely furnished and very clean, there's really nothing to complain about! Even in the small shady garden you can always find little details that make the place special. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning. I felt very comfortable here and Giovinazzo itself is also worth a trip! Thanks, Raffaella for the great time in your b+b. Greetings from germany.

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay is the owner. Incredibly helpful and generous.

Great location, the position is truly enchanting, literally by the sea and a stone's throw from the nightlife. The inner courtyard with garden where it's possible to have breakfast outside is enjoyable. Abundant breakfast and possibility to use the rooftop terrace.

Interior spaces renovated, spacious outdoor terrace with garden. 10-15 minutes walk along the sea to the old town. Breakfast rich by Italian standards. Close to Bari airport. Attentive host. Immediate surroundings of the house rather ugly. Adjacent to a shabby campsite. We had two rooms and when booking, the impression was that the we were going to have the accommodation all to ourselves. But it turned out that there are probably two other rooms in the property that share the breakfast area in the main house. So in the morning you want to go in your pajamas to check on the kids in the room across the dining area and when you open the door, you almost walk into another customers who are making their breakfast. The owner is coming to make breakfast before 7am, so you're disturbed by the noise and lack of privacy. Or you're in the bathroom in the morning, you want to open the window, but there's someone eating breakfast right there on the terrace. You can't leave any of your stuff in the common area as other guests will come for breakfast in the morning. We only stayed one night before flying home, so it was ok, but for a longer stay it wouldn't have been ideal. If you prefer privacy, this accommodation is not for you. Nowadays it does not help that the flags over the entrance to the property included the Russian one. So anyone who is not indifferent to what's going on in the world will probably have mixed feelings. The flag is a national symbol, and if, as an Italian, you feel the need to fly a Russian flag at your house, you're making a statement...It´s simply not necessary.

Very quiet area, 2-3 mins walk from a tiny but beautiful beach. Family atmosphere with lovely hosts who were trying to accommodate our needs in terms of check in. Very clean, cozy room with room service every day. The area itself is very quiet, away from loud restaurants. The accommodation was in a convenient distance from the supermarket and city centre (15 mins walk). You can hear the noise from the dining area when breakfast were getting prepared, but it was not a major issue for us. We did not set up an alarm so this was a kind reminder for us to start waking up :-). As per the Google maps it was not that obvious to find the entrance to the accommodation.

Very good selection provided for breakfast, range of various juices, excellent coffee, various tea. Pastries, fresh meats and cheeses, yoghurts, jams, breads, cereals. For us the location was great just a ten minute walk into the town centre which is well worth a visit. Plenty of restaurants ranging in prices.
