We stayed for one night at Baia Sangiorgio Hotel in Bari in a family room. We took a taxi from the airport with our 3 children and it cost about 35 euros to get there. When we arrived we learned there were no open restaurants in the area or on property. I wish we had known this information in advance, which is why I am writing this review for other potential customers. We were able to purchase a bag of cheese puffs, ice creams, and two Spritz drinks from the bar inside the hotel lobby for 30 euros. I suggest if you are staying during the off season to go to the market before arriving. My husband went into town and it was very difficult to get there once we were at the resort. There isn't anything in the way of stores or anywhere to eat in the resort area. There is a place cafe called Reef which is a kilometer away but it was not open when we walked by. We were able to buy some meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables at a market, which was about an hour's walk away. It would be faster to take a bus to the city center however, the bus passed my husband by while we was waiting for it. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly. There were eggs, fruit, tomatoes, an assortment of breads, cakes, coffee, and juice. This property has a lot of potential. I'm not sure if there was a recent storm or if they are renovating the property but everything was closed while we were there including the pool, the restaurant, and outside bar, which we were looking forward to using. I wish we had known this in advance, especially having 3 children. It is a beautiful property and our children enjoyed running around the courtyard and exploring the beach. I have not been to Bari before but I think this hotel would be an amazing place to stay in the summer time. The ocean views are very peaceful and beautiful. The Trulli houses on property are unique and I would love to see what those look like inside. The family rooms have kitchenettes as well, which is a nice feature and there is a mini bar in the room. The family rooms have bunk beds which were great for our children. I had requested a crib but we were never supplied with one. The walls were rather thin and we could hear our neighbors. They could probably hear us as well. Beverages in the mini bar are about 3 euros each, which is pretty standard for most hotels. We enjoyed our one night stay however did learn we payed about 40 euros more than other guests in the same type of room that night so recommend booking directly with the hotel rather than a booking site.
