Make a holiday rental property or villa in Bari, Italy your home away from home

The rich mix of Norman, Arabic and Roman architecture and culture make Bari an absolute joy to visit. The long sandy beaches which line this stretch of Puglia coastline, on Italy’s ‘heel’, are a huge attraction for the area, with tourists coming from across Europe to sun themselves on the gloriously soft and delightfully picturesque beaches.

Things to do on holiday in Bari, Italy

Bari’s old town is a honey pot of attractions. Surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Adriatic Sea, the seafood restaurants of Bari are renowned throughout Italy and further afield. The centre is certainly not short of interesting places to visit either, with some of the most beautiful Norman churches being found at its centre. The huge Castello Svevo and the Pinacoteca Provinciale are well worth exploring, especially if you are trying to escape the heat of the summer midday sun.

Every year, on the 8th May, Bari comes alive with the sounds of a huge parade and a procession of Pilgrims towards the sea as the Festival of Saint Nicholas gets into full swing. However, if you cannot find Bari accommodation during this period, there are many events to enjoy in the Old Town centre during the rest of the year too. Information on seasonal, and usually free, concerts and performances can easily be obtained from the Bari tourist information centre.

Walking, horse riding and cycling holidays are actively encouraged in Bari, as the coastal scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and the thick woodland of the interior offers excellent protection from the sun as well as effortlessly picturesque viewpoints, and spots to picnic.

Places to visit on holiday in Bari, Italy

Locorotondo, a unique Arabic looking town, sits proudly on a hill top, visible for many miles as the sun gleams off the whitewashed exteriors of Locorotondo’s extravagant houses. Surrounded by vineyards, a holiday home in Locorotondo is perfect for both wine tours of Bari and walking holidays.

Castellana Grotte was renamed several years ago due to the remarkable Grotta di Castellana caves found nearby. The caves are the focus for many tales of folklore in the Bari area, and when you look into the gaping chasm, you can see why tales of ghosts and monsters were so easy to believe!

If you are hoping to stay in a traditional Puglia trulli, with its conical shape and slate roof, Alberobello is the place for you. Known as the trulli capital, Alberobello has been named by UNESCO as a world heritage site, and provides a perfect place to take a cultural holiday to Bari.
