About

B&B Gallina 18

B&B Gallina 18 sits in the heart of Bari's old town, a short walk from the Basilica San Nicola and surrounded by the narrow streets, shops, and restaurants that define this historic quarter. The guesthouse keeps things simple: clean, comfortable rooms with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a friendly host who goes out of her way to help.

Breakfast is served not in-house but at a nearby café, where guests start the day with coffee and croissants in a lovely square. For those arriving by air, the Karol Wojtyla airport is 15 km away and can be reached via the paid airport shuttle arranged by the property.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional staff — Guests consistently single out Rita's warm, helpful service, from arrival to departure.
  • Prime old town location — A 5-minute walk to the Basilica San Nicola, with shops, restaurants, and the historic center right on the doorstep.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Breakfast is off-site — Breakfast is served at a nearby café, not in the B&B itself—a point to know if you prefer an in-house morning meal.
  • No pets and limited on-site amenities — Pets are not allowed, and there's no on-site parking (only off-site option), which may matter if you're driving or traveling with an animal.
  • Street-facing rooms can be lively — Some rooms have windows opening onto the street, which could bring noise from the old town's lively streets.
  • Check-in window is specific — Check-in is limited to 12:00–22:30, which may not suit late arrivals without prior arrangement.
