Truly a one-of-a-kind stay in Giovanazzo, this mezzanine apartment is situated within the Torrione Aragonese, a historic seaside watchtower built during the Aragonese rule of the Kingdom of Naples in the 15th century. Its features add a Renaissance-era atmosphere, blended with 21st-century comfort – including a king-sized bed, sofa bed and small kitchenette.

Home truths
As it is located in a historic watchtower, there is only one small window in this home.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. As the mezzanine with the bed is located above the living area, those on the sofa bed may lack privacy.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
There are no in-unit laundry facilities here.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There is a travel cot available on request.
There is a portable air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan here.
One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay.

About Bari
Forget the North Pole, Bari is the home of Santa Claus. That is, some of the bones of Saint Nicholas of Myra are held in the beautiful Basilica di San Nicola, dating back to the 12th century. Apart from ancient relics, the buzzing coastal city of Bari is a warren of narrow streets where nonnas set up rickety old tables to pinch and twist pasta dough into orecchiette by hand....
