A four-star Poggiofranco base
Set in Bari’s elegant Poggiofranco district, this hotel puts the best of Puglia within easy reach. Zip to Bari Vecchia for lantern-lit lanes and the Basilica di San Nicola, stroll the Lungomare for sea views, then dip your toes at Pane e Pomodoro beach. Theatre fans can catch a show at Petruzzelli, while food lovers chase focaccia barese and hot panzerotti from hole-in-the-wall bakeries. Trains and taxis make day trips to Polignano a Mare, Monopoli and Alberobello a breeze.
Back at the hotel, the tempo softens. Drift between the indoor swimming pool, spa and gym, or take five on a sunny terrace with an espresso. There’s free Wi-Fi for planning, a helpful concierge for tables and tours, and parking if you’re road-tripping the Adriatic coast. You’ll also want to bring a healthy appetite.
Mornings start with a generous breakfast spread of fruit, pastries and savoury bites. Later, the hotel’s restaurant celebrates Apulian flavours – think orecchiette, local seafood and peppery olive oil – while the bar shakes spritzes perfect for golden hour. Step out for trattorie serving burrata, octopus sandwiches and gelato that demands a second scoop. Culture by day, wellness by afternoon, aperitivo by night – that’s the Nicolaus way of life.
Please note that a reservation is required for the wellness area, and a deposit will be required upon arrival.
