Agritrulli - Taranto (province)

Beautiful historic location with lots of shops and restaurants to walk to nearby-- the streets come alive later into the evening. Excellent breakfast included (loved the bowl of fresh tomatoes, which are not typical) on the rooftop restaurant. Hotel staff very friendly. Prior to my trip I emailed for help with a taxi from the Bari airport (about 45 minutes drive with a little traffic and 70 euros in August 2012) and Letizia was wonderfully responsive. The room was spacious enough, and I liked the little kitchenette. The beds were not that comfortable but not terrible and the linens were very clean. Thermarium/spa was nice, but it's too bad that's not included in the price if you book a spa service-- there's a fee to use the sauna, another fee to use the jacuzzi, etc. even though I booked a massage. I enjoyed the little art gallery near the front desk-- cool glass sculptures! The town felt very safe, and people were very kind. All in all a great location & unique hotel-- I'd love to go back for a longer stay. I thought the hotels.com price was an excellent deal.

Excllent hotel in a surprising city. Located in old city undergoing renovation, this hotel is a gem. If you're going take a taxi as it's hard to find. The staff is very competent and can recommend places to eat in walking distance. If you're familiar with Italy but never visited Taranto, you're in for a treat. Don't miss the museum and tour of the fort. Also, don't miss the rooftop terrace - great view of the city.

Bartelomeo and Angela were the best hosts and this property is a dream home for anyone traveling in the South of Italy. Close to many small local cities with a lots to see. Great breakfast included.

Our room was newly renovated, quite large and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly helpful with local information. Short walk from the train station, just over the bridge and directly on the other side of the piazza with the fountain. Several good restaurants nearby. A fine choice for your stay in Taranto.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Our double room was quite large and comfortable. Overall, a very nice hotel. And it's only about a block from the train station.
