Hotels in Puglia, close to Bari

Holiday Residence, Turi

Guests can look forward to a genuinely warm welcome from the friendly staff at Hotel Holiday Residence. A characterful three-star hotel in Puglia, it has a rural setting a few minutes' drive from the delightful village of Turi. This area is known throughout Italy for its delicious cherries, while nearby is the fascinating historic town of Conversano, and Bari, the provincial capital. The countryside all around is rich with ancient olive groves, lush vineyards and the many distinctive trulli - the extraordinary cone-shaped buildings that are unique to this part of Italy.

This Puglia hotel has 11 mini apartments set in delightful countryside, all with lovely views, en-suite bathroom facilities and private balconies on which to relax. Tea- and coffee-making facilities and a little kitchenette are provided, so guests can be as self-sufficient as they wish. The hotel also has a pleasant restaurant with a tempting menu of appetising rustic dishes, and there is an atmospheric lounge bar where guests can get together over a drink in a relaxed setting.

Children will enjoy playing in the specially designated outdoor play areas, while guests are invited to stroll and relax in the extensive hotel gardens, perhaps taking a refreshing dip in the outdoor swimming pool or playing tennis or pitch-and-putt: there is an all-weather tennis court and mini-golf course. The countryside around is gorgeous, and guests are encouraged to investigate the area by bicycle or explore some the many jogging trails that radiate from the hotel. Major credit cards are welcome.
