Taranto hotels

Pros: Marco was very kind and helpful all the time. The rooms are comfortable. Very good breakfast

Pros: Very nice place to stay. Cosy and stylish. Host Marco was very helpful and attentive.

Pros: This was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in in Puglia. It was a spacious and very clean and tidy apartment with everything provided, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Pamela was very welcoming and helpful and recommended a good local restaurant for dinner.

Pros: Nice combination between comfort and old fashioned building. Very hospitable staff and great location!

Pros: Photos were great -

Cons: Host was rude right after booking. My son broke a glas then so he stole our credit card from our apartment to charge it, even though we were always willing to pay We asked for a vacuum cleaner for the Glas splitters as we have 4 kids - was not possible for the host (normally a broom should be standard) Air conditioning didn’t work- 32 degrees inside We did not get a bill either We had to pay for an extra child, but didn’t get an extra Glas or an pillow from him We can not recommend the host- even the apartments looks beautiful - everything is in a bad condition and frail - door knob goes off - no water comes in the shower - linen was dirty at arrival Staff members are friendly tough

Pros: Spacious comfortable apartment. Should have stayed longer

Cons: Nil. It was perfect

Pros: We needed a place to stay on our way from Sicily to Puglia. We made a reservation fairly late in the day and our host Pamela was waiting for us! Apartment was absolutely adorable. We were able to do our laundry which was HUGE!! Parking was on the street and you have to buy parking ticket but we found parking right in front. Pamela was very gracious and directed us to a fabulous pizzeria Sugo e Basilico which was a few blocks away. We also found gelato along the walk back from the pizzeria “lungomare” (along the sea) which may have been the best we had, which in Italy is a huge complement!!

Cons: It is not really a negative but you are in a residential area outside the old city. For our purposes, worked out great.

Pros: Lovely Hostess. Excellent breakfast delivery.

Pros: Very nice appartment in good location. The buliding and the terrace area was really nice. Perfect communication with the host. Good breakfast was provided at the appartment.

Cons: Everything was fine. Only one minor thing: the bed would need another mattress

Pros: Totally modern restoration of a centuries old building. Very helpful staff. Recommended an excellent seafood restaurant nearby.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Taranto is in my opinion a one night stopover town with the most amazing Basilica ... "Cathedral of San Cataldo" but like many another visitor to the Basilica dont peep in the door, say to yourself "this is nothing, must be in the wrong place and walk out" ..... walk up the steps to the right of the alter and go WOW. The historic area is small and run down but we felt very safe walking around the streets late at night. The hotel is located on the edge of the historic area, the staff were very very friendly and helpful, the room was perfect and the breakfast was very very good. There was free parking outside the hotel and lots and lots of good pizza and fish restaurants very close by. There is a big castle on the opposite end of the historic area from the hotel .... only 10 minutes walk and we watched the lowered of the flag their at sunset, very nice. We enjoyed our stopover in Taranto but one night would have been sufficent to see everything we felt.

Pros: Great location. Charm of old building with modern conveniences

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice start for being Taranto, really helpful staff for discovering restaurant around the hotel. Next visit definitely the same hotel

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It is a charming hotel with a very welcoming and nice staff ! Rooms are large and very clean. Nice breakfast with home made cakes.

Pros: The setting of the hotel is beautiful - fruit trees everywhere. You can pick your own figs off the trees. The pool area is stunning though the pool is smaller than we had expected. The hotel and grounds are spotless and the breakfast is fantastic with lots of choice. We didn't experience the spa but they did show us round and it was really top class.

Cons: The major setback is the location which is awful. It is on the outskirts of Taranto and as we got near we were really worried as it really feels like a tip. Rubbish everywhere and industrial units on the landscape and an ugly sprawling city down below but in the last few minutes it began to feel a little more rural. Turn down the long drive however and you could be anywhere. You can't see any of that from the hotel. It was hard to shake those first impressions of where we were however and for that reason I wouldn't go back despite the hotel and its grounds being really lovely. The meals were very expensive and only mediocre so we didn't eat there after the first day. There is a lovely little see just near but again there was loads of rubbish everywhere.

Pros: The site alone is great. I love the historic buildings surrounded by olive trees. A perfect place to relax. The restaurant is excellent. Perfect location to spoil yourself and find peace.

Cons: If someone wants or needs cool rooms in the heat of summer one should tell the reception along with the booking. Some of the rooms have such a high ceiling, that the air condition does not manage to cool the room down sufficiently.

Pros: It is really fantastic property. Buildings, territory, service, breakfast

Pros: The territory and the interiors are amazing - very authentic and particular. Location is super quiet. Staff is helpful - we had a problem with the room on the arrival day, next day they provided us with 2 separate rooms which was highly appreciated. Service near the pool is amazing, special thanks to Ernesto - a guy with endless positive charisma! Food for breakfast and for dinner was tasty. Reactions of the staff were quick. Rooms were quiet and relaxing.

Pros: the structure is amazing and very well kept the food really amazing the spa is great but should be free

Cons: the furniture in the rooms not up to the standard of the rest

Pros: This historic property was fabulous. Our room was very spacious and cool with a superb biiig bed. The bathroom was beautiful and offered a bath with shower over, not just a shower stall. The pool was superb and we didn't use the spa but the pool cafe staff were brilliant and looked after us handsomely. I liked it all! Not cheap and off the beaten track but worth every penny.

Cons: There was only one small hiccough and my own fault really. I ordered a tomahawk steak to share with my wife at dinner. It arrived more bone than meat, still on the bone and with no sharp knife to prepare it. By the time we got it off the bone it had cooled to inedible. They took it off the bill without question but a romanic dinner was spoiled. Rule #1 in Italy. Stick to the pasta and fish but avoid the meat.

Pros: Lovely helpful staff who made the hotel luxury and restful. The staff even arranged payment of my parking ticket I received in a local town. Lovely buildings with style.

Cons: Nothing. It was great.

Pros: Nice garden area to sit in. Easy parking.

Cons: Couldn't sign on to Wifi

Pros: We had a rented car, and it was comforting to park it in their yard. The host was very eager to help, and the checkout was super easy. I've had a croissant with pistachio filling for breakfast, and it was amazing.

Cons: The owner doesn't know to speak English, and it was a bit difficult to understand what he had to say. The soap was not refilled before arriving there, and we finished the bottle before ending the first shower. It's a bit far from the touristic area.

Pros: The physical premises are outstanding. The room was spacious and the the common areas were excellent. The quality of the workmanship in the premises is excellent. Leo was very gracious and helpful.

Cons: It’s distance from the autostrada but you could not have the location of the property re the beach which provided a place to rent umbrellas and have the services of an excellent restaurant.

Pros: Clean, good location and kindness of the owner.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: It is a nice well maintained place. I recommend for everyone who is comming to Taranto for work or pleasure.

Cons: A place in the fridge would be nice to have.

Pros: Andrea's wonderful welcome and passion for restoring the old building and looking after us. The location was fabulous for a one night stay.

Pros: Lovely place to stay. Plenty hot water, although we had an external bathroom and it needs a little work doing. Not great if you have accessible issues as it's up lots of stairs. Easy walk to the castle and old town. Plenty places to eat lunch or dinner very locally. Had amazing pizza and beer whilst watching Bruce Springsteen videos close by. Plenty cheap parking close by.

Pros: Management was right on point, Andrea met us explained how parking worked in the area and gave us his number and said to call anytime if we had problems. We rented the apartment and it was spacious and very clean. There is only street parking and a lot is less than a block away. We had no trouble finding a space right in front of the hotel. Great thing is parking only requires payment for a few hours in the morning and a few in the early evening and as you put coins in the meter it will show you when it will expire, taking into account the schedule. So I put 4 euro in and it paid for the time left that day and into the next morning. Places to eat and drink are basically at the corner. The main walking, eating and drinking plaza is less than two blocks away. Easy to drive into and super easy driving out, which is great as there is lot of traffic in the town. Best of all they like pets! Difficult to find in Taranto.

Cons: No problems at all, great experience.

Pros: Very informative staff. Beautiful old features in our room. Period property.

Cons: Street noise at night time, but ear plugs solved this problem!.

Pros: Andrea was very helpful. Showed us a bunch of places to visit. Great location, easy to get in and out of the city and finding street parking was very easy

Cons: The room has no window, is tiny and dark, there was a very bad smell of moist and dirt coming from the bathroom. The ac is old and does not function correctly. We spent a very bad night. We try to talk about it with the host but hé was too busy and seemed to find all this normal I have one advice for travellers who want to book there : find another place

Pros: Great location! Helpful and pleasant staff!

Cons: Loud during high traffic hours.

Pros: Easy to communicate and fast answers. Amazing room with a nice bathroom, very clean and cosy.

Pros: really nice staff, great breakfast, wonderful beach, all rooms have a view

Pros: The room was clean and spacious. The beach is small and lovely, with a quiet and crystalline sea. They also have a big pool area & gardens. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the girls at the reception were very efficient and helped us with all the assistance we needed during our stay. The breakfast waiter was very kind and makes a lovely cappuccino.

Cons: Although the location of the hotel is right at sea offering a beautiful private beach to the guests, there is nothing else around, no shops or restaurants. During the day, only the "pool bar" is working, with a very poor selection of food or snacks- they had basically only ham and cheese baguette with potato crisps. The breakfast selection was quite poor as well, not many options of bread, fruits or juices, eggs and bacon were always cold and we had to request every morning to heat it up, the pastries tasted very industrialized. They also don't offer towels at pool\beach - you have to bring your own.

Cons: Rooms are not worth a 4 star hotel. Lizard in the room.

Pros: Nice hotel with private beach. Good breakfasts and dinners. We lived in a really big appartment with the kitchen and a good view.

Cons: It was too noisy - loud music all day and night. It was quite only in bedroom. The beach stuff doesn't understand any language despite Italian and couldn't help us to find our place on the beach (to notice, we had to pay for the beach every day), but bothered us all the time.

Pros: The owner is a very nice man doing all he can for giving us a plessant stay. He told us about the nearest city and the nearest beach, and the two Unesco World Herritage-sites nearby, Matera and Alberobello. The room is simple.

Cons: Price is to high concidering the location right behind the noisy higway.

Cons: Nothing negative about this place.

Pros: Fabulous location! Ours was a corner room with views of the water from both. Also two balconies. Not too fancy, but the hotel had everything we needed and the staff are helpful and friendly. Easy to walk to the old city and convenient for the more modern areas. Excellent restaurants and a gelaterie a few metres away. (Try the 'Cozzatro Nero' restaurant where Monica will make sure you are looked after.) Parking is on the street, but there is covered secure parking up the road

Cons: Nothing not to like. The breakfast is typical of what is served in Italy (so no fry-ups), but plenty of fresh pasticcerie, fruit and coffee (or tea) made for you.

Pros: nice place, nice sea view, nice personel. Very close to the nice restaurants and to the old part of Taranto.

Cons: Problem to find parking place.

Pros: Reception and staff were very helpful. The property is clean and tidy.

Cons: There are no lift to go upstairs to the Suite room. You have to carry the luggage in case there is no assistance from the hotel staff. The food menu is good for fish lovers as there are lot of varieties but not for Vegan or those who prefer chicken over meat. It's far away from the old town and very quiet. The dinner however small or less you take is a packaged menu, which cost around 30 Euro.

Pros: Beautiful property, with lovely antique furniture and period details. Very comfortable, large room, clean bathroom, and great shower!

Pros: Lovely bijou hotel. Very interesting location. Easy to navigate from. Most of locals were charming and informative.

Cons: This old town island was a very depressed area and rather scary at night for a woman on her own. I was accosted in an unpleasant way. I understand this area is up and coming. Slightly difficult finding parking in extremely narrow streets.

Pros: The staff were excellent. Fulvio was passionate about the hotel and his home city. His tour of the lower levels of the hotel was a great insight into the history of the city.

Pros: Lovely hotel in the old town, friendly staff, excellent central position
