The Property — B&B Eracliio
Stepping into B&B Eracliio feels like crashing at a friend’s well-kept flat near the station — clean, modern rooms with cream tiles and dark wood, plus a self-serve breakfast corner. It’s a practical base for travellers who want to spend their money on food and sightseeing, not on a hotel pool. The real draw is location: ten minutes’ walk to Barletta’s Norman cathedral and the Colossus, and a short stroll to the train for Bari or Trani.
Chronicles of Barletta
Barletta was a Roman port and later a Norman stronghold, with its 12th-century cathedral built atop a former synagogue. The city’s pride is the Colossus of Barletta, a 5-metre bronze Roman emperor that washed ashore in the 13th century, likely from a shipwreck. Its medieval quarter, around Via Duomo and Piazza del Plebiscito, blends Apulian Romanesque churches with Aragonese defensive walls. Today Barletta is a working port and a quiet cultural stop on the Puglia tourist trail, known for its wine (Moscato di Trani) and the Disfida di Barletta historical re-enactment.
Best Time to Visit
Full Barletta guide →Best months
May, June and September — hot sun (25–30°C) but not the peak July–August crush; local beaches and seaside restaurants are still pleasant.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak for Italian beaches and Ferragosto; hotel prices can jump 20–30%, and the city feels crowded with day-trippers. The Disfida di Barletta (early September) also spikes demand.
Budget shoulder season
April or October — mild 18–22°C weather, lower rates and fewer tourists; spring wildflowers and autumn olive harvests add local colour.
Weather & packing
June in Barletta is dry and sunny, but a sharp sea breeze can catch you off guard. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for evening meals near the port, plus comfortable walking shoes for cobbled alleys.
Live City Briefing — Barletta
- Barletta’s main railway station (FNB) has completed platform upgrades, so direct regional trains to Trani and Bari now run every 30–40 minutes.
- New pedestrianised zone in Piazza del Plebiscito (summer 2026) means outdoor tables for cafes and fewer cars — good for evening passeggiata.
- The annual Disfida di Barletta (historical tournament) runs 2–6 September 2026; book well ahead if your stay overlaps.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to B&B Eracliio, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a standard 3-star hotel like this, ask for a room at the back of the building away from the main road. Upper floors often have less street noise and better airflow. Corner rooms can be slightly larger but may have odd layouts.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms next to the lift or stairwell — you'll hear doors slamming and foot traffic. Ground-floor rooms near reception or the breakfast room often have less privacy and more hallway noise.
Best views
Ask for a room with a window facing the courtyard or side street rather than the main road. A higher floor may give a better roofline view but don't expect a panorama in a 3-star.
Quietest floors
Typically the top floor is quietest — less foot traffic above you. Mid-floors (2nd or 3rd) can also be good if above street level.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-facing rooms can be loud early morning with traffic or delivery trucks. If you're a light sleeper, request a room on a higher floor at the back. Weekend noise from nearby bars or piazzas is common in Italian towns.
Insider tips
1. Book directly with the hotel — you may get a quieter room assignment or a small upgrade that OTAs don't pass on. 2. Mention you need a quiet room at booking and confirm a day before arrival.
- 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

Top Attractions in Barletta
💡 Go early morning when the square is empty—you'll get the whole thing to yourself. No plaque explains it, so read up online before.
💡 Check the notice board outside for current exhibitions—they change monthly. The acoustics make it worth lingering if someone's playing piano.
💡 Look closely at the back of the statue — it was reassembled from fragments of different statues, so the metal patches and mismatched leg are visible. Best seen just before sunset for photos.
💡 Ask the caretaker to turn on the crypt lights—they're usually off. Donation requested but not required.
💡 Look for the Crusader-era graffiti on the interior columns near the altar. Pair this with a walk through Piazza del Duomo next door.
💡 Go at sunset — the light hitting the bronze is dramatic, and locals often gather here with their dogs.
💡 Look for the tiny side chapel with a collection of ex-votos from sailors — it tells a more honest history of the town than any museum.
💡 Go early morning to avoid crowds—the crypt opens at 8am and is often empty then.
