Chronicles of Bari
Bari was founded by the Greeks in the 7th century BC, and its strategic location on the Adriatic coast made it a significant trading centre in the Roman Empire. The city's old town, with its narrow cobblestone streets and medieval architecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bari's rich history is still visible in its beautiful Basilica di San Nicola, a stunning example of Pugliese Romanesque architecture. Today, the city is a cultural melting pot, with influences from Greek, Arab, and Norman rule still evident in its cuisine, art, and festivals.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to BibiHouse, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may receive more street noise from Via Domenico Nicolai, which is a relatively busy street in Bari. Additionally, considering the hotel has a lift, rooms on higher floors are likely to be closer to the lift, reducing the need for stairs and potential noise from the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance or lift may experience more noise, especially if there are deliveries or service staff activity during the night. It's best to avoid rooms on the ground floor or near the lift to minimize disruptions.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Via Domenico Nicolai does not offer any notable views of the surrounding city, as it is a relatively narrow street with buildings on either side. However, rooms on the higher floors may have a view of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Domenico Nicolai, potential noise from the lift, and possible service entrance noise may be a concern for light sleepers.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel may have a small reception area. Request a room with a larger bed, as the 3-star rating suggests a focus on comfort and practicality, and a larger bed may be a standard feature in higher-end rooms.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Bari Centrale station → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani stop of via Piccinni)
💡 Use this for the last leg if you're loaded with bags. Get a 90-minute ticket (€1) or a day pass (€3.50) from the tabacchi at the station. Validate it in the bus machine – fines are steep.
Bari Centrale bus stop (Piazza Aldo Moro) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel (Via Zara / Via Capruzzi stop)
💡 Validate your ticket in the machine on board. This bus runs along Via Capruzzi and drops you a 2-minute walk from the hotel door. Buy a pack of 10 tickets at a tabacchi to save time.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Bed & Breakfast La Casa Particular (via Nicolò Putignani)
💡 Agree on price before getting in or use the official white taxis with a meter. From the airport, expect around €20-25 to the city centre; extra for luggage or late-night.
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI) → Best Western Executive Business Hotel
💡 Book through the official airport taxi stand to avoid overcharging. The hotel is on Via Zara, near the central station, so drivers know it well.
Bari Airport (BRI) → Bari Centrale
