Bernalda Castle Tours

What a fantastic little resort. We were attending my son’s wedding near Bari and we found this resort and it exceeded our wildest dreams. We just wanted a few days after the wedding to relax and chill. The resort is only 9 rooms but that was ideal, as has masses of space and there were a range of activities on offer if we wanted and there is a lovely pool with plenty of shade. Outdoor dining for every meal if required. Great breakfasts and lunch and diner. The reason I gave it 5 stars (which is unlike me) is the staff, great English, attentiveness and friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend if you and a peaceful, relaxing break. Grazie Mille!

This property is beautiful and peaceful. You definitely need a car to access it as it not a walkable area. With a rental car it’s great. The food was good, pool was cool but nice (pretty deep, so maybe hard with little kids). Gym was tiny (just for one person at a time) but well stocked. Overall I recommend for a peaceful, quiet getaway.

I stayed here for a total of 7 nights in 2 different rooms and it was great. Firstly the rooms have opening windows which is brilliant for getting fresh air and can be rare in hotels of this size. The rooms are spacious, including the bathrooms clean and have most amenities however you can request items like shavers, toothbrush etc the lighting is also great and temperature ideal with air-con setting, especially for sleeping. Very comfortable beds. This hotel, in my opinion, is in the best location looking out at sea yet close enough to the old town and Bari centrale train station, 15 minute walk which I frequently used for day trips to other towns, Lecce, Ostuni, Polignano a Mare. The breakfast is fantastic and you can order omelettes or eggs how you like a week as coffee, they have decaf, almond, soy, lactose free milks. The pool area has a beautiful outlook over the sea and there are plenty of sunbeds, I never had a problem obtaining one. Finally staff are helpful and friendly, breakfast staff are very efficient. I would stay here again and would recommend
