Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Jonico Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as you'll be farther away from potential street noise. Additionally, rooms with a northwest-facing orientation may receive some morning sunlight, which is a nice perk.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance on lower floors (1st-2nd) may be noisier due to potential delivery and staff activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, there's no information about the hotel's orientation or view options, but you can expect a view of the surrounding cityscape or possibly the nearby sea.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be quieter, considering the hotel's 3-floor lift and the potential for a more peaceful atmosphere on higher floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that Taranto's city center can be noisy, especially during peak season. Street noise may be a concern if you're a light sleeper.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to secure a room on a higher floor, as rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Request a room with a bathtub if available, as it's a nice feature for a 4-star hotel and may not be a standard fixture in all 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

Top Attractions in 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.
