About

Il Filo Di Arianna

Il Filo Di Arianna is a guest house on the first floor of a building on Strada Casamassimi, placing you in the middle of Bari's old town. Its position is the main draw: the Basilica San Nicola is a six-minute walk away, and the Norman-Swabian Castle is about five minutes in the opposite direction. From the rooms you get views over the city rooftops and streets.

The guest house keeps things simple but practical. There is air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and free toiletries. Reception is staffed around the clock, and check-in can be arranged at any time between 2 pm and midnight. The single room category is a Deluxe Double with a king-size bed, so this is most suited to couples or solo travellers who want room to spread out.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Excellent location for the old town — A short walk puts you at both the Basilica San Nicola and the Norman-Swabian Castle, making it easy to explore Bari's historic sights on foot.
  • City views from the rooms — The guest house offers views over the city, which adds a sense of place that many similar properties lack.
  • Round-the-clock reception — With a 24-hour front desk and VIP check-in/out, arrival and departure are flexible, which is handy for late trains or early flights.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Room comfort scores low — The comfort rating of 5.6 is notably below the other categories, suggesting the beds, noise levels, or temperature control may not meet everyone's expectations.
  • Limited room choice — Only one room type is offered – a Deluxe Double with a king bed – so families or groups travelling together would need to book multiple rooms or look elsewhere.
  • No pets allowed — If you are travelling with a dog or cat, this guest house is not an option, as the policy explicitly prohibits pets.
