A place to stay in Bari

The property has a garden, an on-site bar, and a chapel, giving it a character distinct from standard city hotels. Rooms start from $88 per night. A breakfast rated as very good is available, and the 24-hour front desk means arrivals at any hour are covered. The hotel has earned a 4.0/5 guest rating across 537 reviews, with location, cleanliness, and staff cited as particular strengths.
Who this stay suits
A quiet, characterful base in Bari with reliable staff, clean rooms, and a solid breakfast — better suited to those who want somewhere with personality than a generic business hotel.
Best for
- Travellers exploring Puglia from Bari
- Couples in a double room
- Guests who value cleanliness and attentive staff
- Small meetings or events
Less suited to
- Solo travellers wanting large rooms
- Those needing on-site dining beyond breakfast
The masseria setting
The building is a genuine Puglian masseria — a fortified rural farmhouse type — now operating as a city hotel. A chapel and a garden are part of the property, giving the grounds a sense of age and place that most Bari hotels don't have.
The garden
The on-site garden is one of the property's more appealing outdoor features. It provides outdoor space within the city, a rarity for Bari hotels at this price point.
Bar and shared lounge
The bar and shared lounge area give guests somewhere to sit beyond their rooms. The lounge includes a TV area, making it useful on longer stays or during colder evenings.

Arriving in Bari
Masseria Sant'Anna is 2.2 km from Bari Airport (BRI), where the Ferrovie del Nord Barese line runs to Bari Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Bari Centrale, about 9.7 km away. Bari operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. No parking is listed here, so check where to leave a car before driving into the centre. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 537 reviews, the property scores 4.0/5. Guests most often highlight three things: the staff, the location, and the cleanliness of the rooms. No single negative theme emerges strongly from the data provided, though the double rooms are small at 15 m².
