Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Castrogiovanni, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) as they are less likely to be affected by street noise from Via Cesare Battisti, which can be busy due to its location in the city centre. The hotel has 6 floors, and the lift only goes up to the 4th floor, so be prepared to use the stairs if you're on a higher floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 101-103 as they are closest to the service entrance and may experience more noise from staff and deliveries. Also, rooms near the lift (e.g., 201-203) might be more prone to noise from the lift itself.
Best views
The highest floor (5th) offers the best view of the surrounding cityscape, including the historic centre of Taranto.
Quietest floors
Floors 1-4 are likely to be the quietest, as they are closer to the street but still relatively shielded from the noise by the hotel's layout.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Via Cesare Battisti is a busy street with some traffic noise, but the hotel's location in a relatively quiet area helps to mitigate this. However, you may still hear some noise from the street, especially during peak hours.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel may have a queue. Also, consider requesting a room with a balcony for a more pleasant stay, as some rooms have a small outdoor space with a view.
- 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

Tarantoのトップ観光スポット
💡 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.
