Crónicas de Taranto
Taranto has a rich history dating back to the 8th century BC, when it was an important centre of the ancient Greeks. The city's strategic location on the Adriatic coast made it a prized possession for various rulers, including the Romans and the Bourbons. Today, Taranto's medieval old town, with its narrow streets and Norman-Swabian castle, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its maritime traditions and its role as a major producer of olive oil and wine. As you wander through the city, you'll discover remnants of its complex history and the warm, welcoming locals who call it home.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Nassa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 4th floor) to minimize street noise. The hotel's Via di Mezzo location means you'll be close to the city center, but a higher floor will help you avoid the noise from the street below.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3) as they may be noisier due to the street traffic and proximity to the service entrance.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's Via di Mezzo address doesn't offer a clear view of the surrounding area, given its proximity to the city center and the narrow street. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the city's rooftops or the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 and above are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that higher floors are typically farther away from potential noise sources.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for potential noise from street traffic on Via di Mezzo, which can be busy during the day and evening. Additionally, the hotel's service entrance may generate some noise, especially during peak hours.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony or a larger window to help mitigate street noise and enjoy a bit more natural light. If you're driving, be aware that parking in the surrounding streets may be limited, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot or consider using a nearby parking garage.
- 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

Principales atracciones en Taranto
💡 Don’t miss the marble floor mosaics near the altar — they’re original and patterned like a medieval carpet. The crypt is often quiet, and you can see the saint’s tomb. Dress modestly.
💡 Head straight to the second floor for the 'Ori di Taranto' gold collection — it’s the highlight. Allow 1–2 hours. Entry is €8 normally, but free on first Sundays.
💡 Start at Piazza Fontana and aim for the waterfront along Via Duomo. The best views are from the quayside near the Ponte Girevole. Go early morning to see fishermen mending nets.
💡 The best section is the Gravina di Riggio — a short walk from the car park. Bring sturdy shoes and water; there’s no shade. Wildflowers are spectacular in spring.
💡 Entry is cheap (€2–€5 depending on exhibitions), and the sunset view from the ramparts over the Mar Grande is worth every cent. Go on a weekday morning to avoid queues.
