; Via Calefati 249; s €45-60, d €70-80; )
This lovely B&B
in the new town is within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and Bari Vecchia.

Villa Romanazzi Carducci
( 080 542 74 00;

; Via Capruzzi 326; d €79; )
The one hotel in Bari daring to
show some flare, the Villa Romanazzi is housed in the pastel pink, 19th-century Villa
Rachele. Rooms are a mixture of old and new, although the decor in the villa rooms is
more characterful. Add to this an enormous fitness centre, pool and huge verdant park and
this is probably Bari's best hotel.

Peep
through the lace curtains into the cool interior of this rustic trattoria where worn flagstone
floors and period furnishings make you feel like you're dining in someone's front room.
The menu features earthy offerings like
capocollo
(thin slices of lard), potatoes and
car-
doncelli
mushrooms, and
sporcamusi
(lemon custard in filo pastry).

( 338 212 03 91; Strada Vallisa 23; meals €10; lunch & dinner)
Run by the same family for more
than a century, this boisterous
osteria
(casual eatery) chalks up its daily specials of well-
prepared and filling Puglian dishes. Grab a seat in the brick-flanked tunnel of a dining
room and wait (and wait) to be served by the impressively indefatigable waiter.
