  Perfecto!

  Liked: As a seasoned traveller and huge fan of Italy, I can only profess to have thoroughly enjoyed my week long sample of this enchanting and perhaps little lesser known slice of this beautiful country. For me, as a solo traveller, my accommodation can make (or break) a holiday. On this occasion fortune blessed me with the delights of Ai Marinai nestled in the heart of the madding Italiano Taranto city, although you’d wouldn’t believe it on stepping inside its cooled and cushy confines. It felt a true home from home from the outset, accentuated by my attentive welcoming host Patrizia. My room and bed were spacious and comfortable, cooled at ‘the’ perfect temperature, I slept so soundly every night, more so than at home! A fresh continental breakfast was served al fresco on the communal balcony with every effort made (a common theme) to accommodate my timings, and always served with the warmest of smiles by the lovely Tamara. Days out were some of my own and others Patrizia kindly recommended, always remaining on hand to help and advise on any matters however big or small throughout my visit. Many a balmy evening was enjoyed on the balcony taking in the sunset and magnificent twilight vistas of the famous castle illuminations either in quiet contemplation, talking with other guests or quizzing Patrizia on recommendations and learning about Italian culture, she really is a mine of information and an absolute joy to meet and converse with. In brief, I found Ai Marinai safe, homely, friendly, comfortable, clean, well air conditioned, served by speedy & consistent WIFI, perfectly located betwixt the old & new town, convenient for the local beach and a preferable alternative to a hotel particularly for solo travellers. Seven nights passed so quickly, and I somehow missed my planned eleventh hour guided tour of the famous castle due to a clash with the local festivities & VIP visit, so I now have the perfect excuse to revisit Ai Marinai….

  A beautiful B&B in the heart of Taranto with breathtaking views!

  Liked: Beautiful apartment close to everything, shops, restaurants, cafes. Old town is a few minutes down the road on foot. Breakfast was lovely. You can sit on the balcony, eat and admire the view of the sea. Apartment has an elevator. Apartment has all amenities, and is tastefully decorated. Housekeeper was a warm friendly person who would go out of her way to assist. She even helped me with my luggage. The host even organised a taxi for me to pick me up from the bus terminal. Would definitely stay again!

  A stay that felt like being welcomed into someone’s home, right by the sea in Taranto.❤️

  Liked: I had a wonderful stay at this B&B, and it felt far more special than a typical hotel. The whole place has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and Patrizia is an incredibly kind, attentive host who makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The house itself is beautiful: a lovely balcony overlooking the sea and harbour, plus a spacious living and dining room. Everything was spotless and comfortable, and breakfast was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The location is fantastic too, right in the center with restaurants, shops, and lively spots just around the corner. I’d happily stay here again on my next trip to Italy.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Taranto

  Liked: My stay at this B&B was truly exceptional and, in many ways, far better than staying in a hotel. The atmosphere was comfortable, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. A special mention goes to Patrizia, the host, who was extremely accommodating, warm, and courteous throughout our stay. Her hospitality made us feel genuinely welcomed and at home. The property itself is beautiful, with a charming dining area that overlooks the sea, offering stunning views and a serene ambiance. Despite visiting during a heat wave, the air conditioning worked perfectly, ensuring a comfortable stay at all times. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. A heartfelt thank you to Tamara, who went above and beyond to prepare a delicious breakfast each morning. The fresh croissant, cut fruits, cappuccino, yogurt, and many other tasty options made for a wonderful start to each day. The location could not have been better. Situated in a prime area, the B&B is surrounded by excellent restaurants, shops, and some of the liveliest spots in the city, making it easy to enjoy everything Taranto has to offer. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would not hesitate to stay here again. In fact, I will definitely choose this B&B the next time I visit Italy. Definitely, A Highly recommended stay! 🌟

  Disliked: Honestly, nothing comes to mind.

  Twin room does the job for 2 adults, but curb your expectations

  Liked: Unbeatable location, excellent staff (breakfast lady is amazing), twin room has small doubles bed. Access to the coffee machine during the day. Water in the fridge, in the room.

  Disliked: Bedside tables were way too high for the bed and lights didn't reach sockets. Bathroom has a bad smell from bad plumbing and a step in the middle of the bathroom which was an issue. Maybe my expectations were higher cause of all the good reviews, but I think the twin room could be improved.
