Hotel Donna Crescenza

Nice clean hotel with parking place inside, friendly staff and good breakfast.

This hotel was convenient for us as it is just an hours drive to Bari airport and the hotel has its own car park (there was plenty of space for us but we were there at a quiet time). On arrival there was a friendly welcome and quick check in. Our superior room was on the ground floor. It was a good size with a desk, fridge, coffee machine, large comfortable bed, bedside drawers, large wardrobe, TV, and nice modern bathroom. There were no non-italian channels on the TV. It would have been nice to have a selection of european channels for tourist guests. There were issues with hot water in the bathroom. The hotel had put a message in the room, we followed the guidance about letting the water run for a couple of minutes but sometimes we still didn't get hot water (my husband even had a cold shower on one of the days). Also we were unable to turn the light out in the bathroom overnight but it was fine as long as we kept the door closed. The area around the hotel was quiet. The location of the hotel, just outside Locorotondo,was ideal for us. We walked into town in around 15 minutes. The breakfast was available from 8am (maybe a bit earlier in high season). It was a generous offering (only cold items) of fresh fruit, quality yoghurts, bread and rolls, cold meat and cheese, various croissants and cakes, packaged pancakes and cookies, selection of juices and choice of coffee freshly made by a staff member, who was so pleasant, friendly and hard working. Recommended.

Hotel appears immaculate (newly built?) and staff were excellent. A little way out of the old town but easily walkable (10 mins) and close to the train station. Buffet breakfast very good. A good base if you want to visit Locorotondo but dont want to pay the old city accomodation rate. Has a handy supermarket very close by as well!

We were travelling on e-bikes and the hotel was very accommodating to park the bikes inside.
