Ih Hotels Bari Grande Albergo Delle Nazioni

The hotel and staff are excellent. Well done! The breakfast was great. I feel compelled to say this because another reviewer was highly critical. It was as comprehensive as you could want and up to the standards of other nice hotels we have stayed in. Book your stay with breakfast included! The local neighborhood is as Local Bari as you can get. You can see the soul of Bari laid bare here; the poorer and the better off. You must embrace it. The square next to the hotel swelled with local families in the evening when the sun went down. There were children playing, a carousel and children's train and more independent 3 and 4 year olds than you could imagine. All seemed to be playing with older children under a bit of a watchful eye. Street food vehicles are permanently parked around the square and open in the evening. The food looked good and I assume it is since the locals were lining (queuing) to get their fare. The Peroni was cheap and as cold as ice. You must experience it to understand. Questa e stata una esperienza buonissima!

The only weak link was the breakfast coffee.... Isn't that sad when all you can complain about is the morning coffee! We easily forgot about it as we dove into the Adreatic for a swim off the boat!

Everything was excelent
