Best Time to Visit
Full Bari guide →Best months
June and September are ideal for good weather and manageable crowds, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 22-28°C and fewer tourists than July and August. The sea is warm enough for swimming in these months, and the city's festivals and events are in full swing.
Peak / festival surge
August is the peak month in Bari, with the city hosting the Festa di San Nicola, a major festival honouring the city's patron saint. Expect higher hotel prices, larger crowds, and a lively atmosphere. The festival's events, including concerts and street food markets, drive the peak season.

Weather & packing

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apartments Andromeda, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above 3) for a quieter stay. The hotel's Via Montegrappa location puts it on a relatively busy street, but the higher floors will help mitigate street noise. Additionally, the hotel has 3 floors, and the lifts are only on the ground floor, so rooms on higher floors will also be a bit farther from the lift noise. If you can, request a room with a view of the city, as the hotel's address on Via Montegrappa gives a nice perspective on the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be noisier due to the lift and service entrance. Also, rooms on the first floor (floor 1) may be more prone to noise from the street, as it's the first floor and may receive more foot traffic.
Best views
Rooms with a view of the city, which can be requested on higher floors (above 3), will give you a nice perspective on the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are likely the quietest, as they're away from the lift noise and street activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel's location on Via Montegrappa may mean some street noise, especially from traffic and pedestrian activity. However, the hotel's 3 floors and limited lift presence help keep noise levels relatively manageable.
Insider tips
If you're driving, be aware that parking in Bari can be challenging, so consider using a parking garage nearby or exploring public transport options. Check-in is available from 3 pm, but it's a good idea to arrive a bit earlier to explore the surrounding area, which has plenty of cafes, shops, and restaurants to discover.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
