    The hallway where the coffee machine and the refrigerator is located is shared with another room so you barely have any privacy. The sheets were super old and not comfortable. The breakfast is only a croissant and soluble coffee.

    Good value for money

    It was only up one flight of stairs, which usually would not have been an issue. However, I damaged my knee just before I came away. Still managed. Only a small issue for me.

    Good place to stay. The owners were lovely. Had a good stay at this location.

    "I had the pleasure of staying at this charming B&B in the heart of Taranto Centro, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, allowing easy access to the historic center, local restaurants, and all the main attractions. The room was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always available to offer recommendations and make sure I felt at home. Breakfast was a highlight, with a delicious spread of local pastries and fresh coffee to start the day. If you're looking for a cozy, well-located, and hospitable place to stay in Taranto, I can't recommend this B&B enough. I would happily return on my next visit!"

    Beyond anything, no matter how amazing the accommodation is, if the host is rude and obnoxious then I will never recommend it. Unfortunately, this is the case with this place’s host. To say that we had a very unpleasant experience is to say the least. The communication with the host is terrible: there is no clear sign on the building, and for some reason the host doesn’t send you the code to the lock after reservation. She wanted to wait for my response, but other accommodations did not act this way. The location of the apt, as if the street, is very very dirty and unsanitary. There were several dog sh*t piles on the sidewalk, it smelled like urine, and does not feel safe. And then to top it all - our sheet is entirely torn. I hope the host will not call me a liar again and say it’s our fault. *she did bother to send me a picture of a blood stain because I bled from scratching the mosquito bites I got the

    The only benefit is the price, however there’s no wonder they can’t charge more

    The room is 2.5 x 3.0 mtrs and the bed is a large single bed. There is no wifi and certainly no parking unless you describe double parked on the street as parking available. Ok room for 1 person

    The room is a bit small for 3 adult people, in case you want to stay for a long term. But it is perfect for 2, or 2 with a child.

    The room exceeded any expectations. The bed was extra comfy. The bathroom is big and clean (+ there is a disco light inside :D). The owner is exceptional! She brings us a homemade pastry for breakfast. Everything was super good.

    Would not stay again.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    An extremely small room - it is announced 15 m², but de facto it is together with the bathroom and the toilet. The bed takes up almost the entire room, making it almost impossible for two people to pass each other in the room. In fact, I could hardly describe the room as a double. The bed moved on the marble floor and was very uncomfortable with large pillows. There is no wardrobe (in fact there is no room for one in the room). The cold water tap in the shower was not working and it was impossible to take a shower. Common terrace in front of the entrance for both rooms. Small refrigerator, electric kettle and coffee machine for shared use by guests of both rooms. Parking on the street is impossible unless you wait a long time for a space to become available. We used a paid one nearby, recommended by the owner.

    Clean room. Good location.
