Palazzo Calò

An historic building in the heart of the old town. We enjoyed a spacious room, and the staff were most helpful. Lovely rooftop bar and restaurant too.

very nice hotel elevator too slow

Lovely renovated hotel in the middle of old town Bari. The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice with sweet and savory choices. The bartender was excellent. We took their recommendation to park our car at a lot about 15 minutes walk from the hotel to make it easier for day trips. The streets in the old town are very narrow and closed to traffic at times during the day

The hotel is in a great area and well located near sites, restaurants and activities. It’s quiet. The building is really cool. Breakfast was great with hot food constantly replaced and a nice coffee. Staff are really nice people. There is an elevator making it easy to get your luggage to the room. There is an after hours room code process which works well. On the downside, the bed is a bit hard and pillows are super hard. The cabs cannot get all the way to the hotel so be prepared to go a short block with your luggage.

Palazzo Calo was fabulous. Excellent location in the historic area. The hotel is renovated and in excellent condition. The loft rooms are very comfortable and lots of size. Parking at Jolly Parking was easy and close to the hotel. (30 euro and in and out is allowed) breakfast was perfect and the welcome drink in the lounge was a nice touch.

Staff were very helpful and eager, a special thanks to Luigi for setting up a rooftop sitting area for cocktails, while the main rooftop was under construction

Bel hôtel par contre difficile pour y accéder, le parking est en pleine ville Le roof top est beau mais bruyant pour les chambres se situant au deuxième étage

This hotel is as advertised except there is NO laundry. It is a beautiful hotel centrally located and the staff are amazing. I would recommend for sure.

Emplacement idéal. Terrasse sur le toit magnifique avec son resto pour le lunch et petit déjeuner copieux. La chambre aurait besoin d’un peu d’attention

Staff at front desk was great. Parking was expensive and not clear however breakfast and room were excellent.

We stayed for 3 nights and really liked the hotel, the room was large and clean. Rooms cleaned everyday and the staff were brilliant.

nice design not so clean and treated

Absolutely fantastic staff that went out of their way to make you happy. The breakfast buffet was fantastic very authentic and Italian. Room was very clean and comfortable. A great location right in the city centre of Bari.

bathroom was dirty. Pretty gross hotel

Loved the room, so clean and classy. The staff couldn't have been nicer, all the amenities were first rate and the highlight were the breakfasts...varied and tasty. Pat L.

Room was nice and clean. Very cozy. The staff - Francesca at the Front Desk was very helpful. We let her know our friends were arriving early the next morning, she arranged for the room next to us and had it ready for check in by 9am. Amazing! The hostess - Viviana, in the breakfast area was the most hospitable person we met on our trip ( 3 different hotels). Great breakfast with many local options.

The location of the Palazzo Calo is fantastic and a major benefit of the hotel. We didn’t find the stay uncomfortable and in fact the mattress was very comfortable! Overall however we felt the room facilities needed a deep clean and investment in some areas.

The commons areas are attractively designed. Breakfast is quite good. The room has a safety issue as the stairway is with open risers, only a banister and needs balusters as there was great open space. The room had only one window which could only be opened a little bit. We could not access the room’s thermostat. The bathroom had neither a window nor a fan. The shower leaked horribly onto the bathroom floor and had no shelving.

Bella posizione, stanza grande ma pessima esperienza. Lavori elettrici non terminati, lenzuola bucate, asciugamani sfilacciati, colazione pessima! Millantano da anni di avere la sala colazione in ristrutturazione; prodotti confezionati di infima qualità e in pessime condizioni. Carissimo!!! Per la cifra spesa dovevano fornire un servizio completamente diverso!

The hotel is very convenient, close to everything in the old town; it is very clean and the breakfast is superb. Thank you

Great location for exploring Bari old town. Easy 10/15 minute walk from Bari Centrale train station. Adriana on reception was very welcoming and had great suggestions for places to eat and drink. Just be aware that our room had the bed on a mezzanine with steepish stairs. Meant a tricky trip to loo during the night especially after one too many Negronis 😂 Bed was comfy and room had a fridge, small hot plate and crockery which would be handy if staying for more than a night. Simple breakfast served in morning but ideal to set us up for a day of eating and wandering. We’ll be back.

Great location and property. The beds are absolutely terrible and only have two thin useless pillows. The bed felt like a rock and I like firm beds.

Positives: - Great staff: friendly, helpful, very responsive to requests - Location: Near main sites & places to eat - Comfort: good bed & pillows. AC worked well - Lighting: Good in the bathroom especially over the mirror (easy to apply makeup) - Good wifi - Nice shower: rain can & handheld - Thick bath robes - Full length mirror Negatives: - Location: while convenient for sight seeing it was hard to access the hotel for arrival & departure as the historic centre is closed to cars during part of the day & even when it is open there is no road directly to the hotel (must drag bags 20m over uneven cobblestones (harder to do than it sounds) - Breakfast: limited options & little change over several days. More fruit would be good - Lighting: while good in the bathroom it was extremely limited in our room - Room had a balcony but there was a plant at the access door & no chairs outside - our idea of having a drink on the balcony was not possible. - Safe: on a bottom shelf - hard to reach - Palazzo Maurelli: Slow elevator & stairs are metal mesh. If you have vertigo or are afraid of heights the stairs might be an issue - Palazzo Calo: Former guest terrace is now a restaurant so there is no area to sit outside (terrace on Palazzo Murelli is very small with 2 uncomfortable chairs so we did not use it - Bistro on the terrace: very small menu lacking a vegetarian option

The location was very central. I would give it a higher rating, but the roof leaked on to the bed when it rained, and the rooftop patio was closed for renovations when we were there.

Great location in Old Town, and close to the main attractions in Bari. The room was spacious, but could have used more shelving in the bathrooms and storage for luggage/clothes. The AC worked well, which was awesome because it was very hot outside. The bed was our least favourite, the mattress was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Breakfast was the standard European fare but it was sufficient for us! The breakfast staff were very friendly.

Lovely spot in the old town - close to everything and easily walkable with lots of dining choices. Interesting room with two floors.

Hotel is located in a lovely area in the old city with easy access to everything. Our room was very spacious with a kitchenette and sitting area and a loft bedroom. Air conditioning was excellent and the staff went out of their way to assist us with restaurant reservations and airport transfers. Highly recommend

Good location for walkability. Nice breakfast included. Air conditioning did not work and it was hot. Lots of mosquitos at night from the windows.

Staff snotty, room design was excellent but mattress very hard… average hotel experience … a c grade only

Fantastic front desk staff. Large rooms and great location.

We stayed on two separate occasions on our way to Ostuni and Matera and on the way back. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Did really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. The rooms were impeccably, clean and quiet with a small kitchenette and a really nice shower. We decided to dine at the bistro on a Saturday night and the experience was excellent. The bartender made one of the best Aperol Spritz I have had in Italy. We enjoyed very much our interactions with Cristina and Claudio.

Outstanding. Lovely people

In the middle of the historic center, 7 min walk from the garage; very nice room and breakfast. The room was not ready by the check-in time due to maintenance. We waited 2.5 hours to check in, no water was offered and when I asked if we could have our welcome drink (prosecco) while we waited we were told the bar (?) was closed. Overall a very nice place but for that wrinkle.

The location and staff were such a find for us

Staff were super helpful

Room was nice and clean. Very cozy. The staff - Francesca at the Front Desk was very helpful. We let her know our friends were arriving early the next morning, she arranged for the room next to us and had it ready for check in by 9am. Amazing!

Francesca was so helpful and provided outstanding service both pre-check-in and during our stay.

Staff is very helpful but not available all the time. They are there in the morning and evening for a few hours and closed in the afternoon and night. We were given clear instructions through whts app for check-in on key pad and access to room key card. It was a small hassle walking with luggage bags and finding the place late evening as the taxi did not drop at the hotel as it was in no entry zone. Good thing they have an elevator and spacious rooms so its easy for bags. I really loved the location and wanted to book it for another day a week later for our return back to airport but unfortunately had run out of hot water on first day during our shower & ended up taking cold showers, took really quick showers next day to save hot water. Also, on both days, we were woken up by constant loud construction sounds, it was loud drilling and hammer sounds above our floor and around the area so our sleep was disturbed. If it wasn't for these couple of issues we would gladly book again as the location is fantastic, 5 minutes walking to central shopping and main tourist areas. We decided to wait to rent a car after checking out as their parking was $40 per night and 5 minutes away. Like other reviews said I agree they do need more light in the room. Maybe a table lamp would do. Book it for the nice staff and convenient location. Its the best location to stay in town. Can't go wrong with that.

Right in the middle of the old town. 10 minute walk from the train station.

Location is great; unbeatable at the Centro Storico and steps of the main street Vittorio Emanuelle and from the bay and from the fashion street in downtown. The Palazzo Maurelli is a building with two comfy and spacious rooms and lift; very quiet and with terrace. We enjoyed very much our stay and the hotel team handle our transfers to Lecce and to the Airport. Amazing customer service. We are very thankful of them!!

The hotel was in a great location just on the outskirts of the old city. This made it really easy to walk around and when we had a car we just pulled in just down the street to load luggage. I will say you have to be conscience of when you get your car in there if you're using one since they close it down at certain hours. The hotel room was very large for the one we booked. Overall, we would definitely stay there again, the place was great and the staff was very helpful!

Endroit vraiment très agréable et tranquille. Ancienne bâtisse bien restaurée et avec goût. Nous avons eu un petit appart bien aménagé et avec commodités. Le petit déjeuner était bien et servi par un personnel attentionné dans une jolie salle à manger au mobilier design et qui sert de bar en soirée. L’emplacement est vraiment très bien. L’hôtel est central et beaucoup de restos autour. L’aspect le plus difficile a été le stationnement. La rue de l’hôtel est en zone piétonne à heures spécifiques (ZTL). L’heure d’arrivée à l’aéroport de Bari en début de PM et le temps pour la location de l’auto nous ont amené à l’extérieur des heures ZTL. Malgré toutes les infos très détaillés fournies par l’hôtel, on a mis du temps à trouver un stationnement avec des places de libres. À noter que le stationnement Jolly avec qui l’hôtel a une entente est un peu difficile à trouver et était fermé quand nous sommes arrivés. Mis a part le petit problème de stationnement, nous retournerions volontiers à cet endroit.

The location is absolutely the best to be in Bari Vecchio. Close to everything that you want to see. Our room was in Palazzo Maurelli, a building right next to Palazzo Calò. Spacious, bright and antique but with all the modern comforts. Breakfast was good and service was great.

The hotel is in a great area and well located near sites, restaurants and activities. It’s quiet. The building is really cool. Breakfast was great with hot food constantly replaced and a nice coffee.

Extremely nice location in the heart of old town, very clean, newly renovated room, friendly staff. Only issue was to get here on feet with heavy luggage as taxi will drop you about 100 meters away as are not allowed to enter old town

Everything about the hotel is perfect , the only inconvenience is a street that not aloud the taxis to get there.

Great location just inside the wall of the old city. The restaurant food was fabulous. Besides breakfast with as many cappuccinos as you want as well as pastries, we also had dinner in their restaurant. Outstanding entrees and desserts!! We had a room with a loft where a comfy bed. However the stairs up were quite steep and their were no spindles below the railing making it tricky coming down them. The front desk provide us a map of the inside walls of Bari with the must see sites. Great anchor spot to settle and take day trips. (Alberobello is worth a visit. We did it by bus and it was a bit tricky to figure out the schedules) We would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel, centrally located, big and modern rooms. Breakfast starts only at 8:00. No takeaway options if you need to check out at 07:30

Hôtel très bien situé dans la vieille ville, très typique et pratique. Petit déjeuner trop modeste et confort des lits moyen.

The taxi could not come to the door. You had to trundle your suitcase over cobbles. Breakfast was mediocre. Never enough bacon. The Coffee machine didn’t work for 15 minutes. We had reservations for Calo Hotel but they put us up in a different building which was not nice at all. Good location in the old town- best part.

Bella atmosfera, posizionato direttamente nel centro storico. Personale gentile e ottima colazione, non troppo assortita ma con ottimi prodotti. Da raccomandare di sicuro,

Stayed for two nights at the end of a hectic trip round Puglia. Perfect relaxing end to an amazing holiday - great staff and facilities. Had an early start for a flight when we were leaving and they organised an airport transfer and left a ‘breakfast to go’ in our fridge which was great. Had a meal in their rooftop restaurant the night before our early start which was perfect

The hotel is very convenient, close to everything in the old town; it is very clean and the breakfast is superb. Thank you
