Casa Riccardi

Nicola was a very kind host and happy to share all the information you need for an enjoyable stay in Putignano. The room was bright, welcoming, and spotless, with simple, practical furnishings. Two little plant-filled balconies look out onto two main streets and make the place even more charming. Breakfast is at a nearby café, where the staff are very friendly and there's a wide choice of croissants and fresh pastries. Highly recommended.

Breakfast is served at a café nearby, and there's a big free parking lot 100 meters away. It's unavailable on Wednesdays because of the weekly market. The owner was very friendly and helped us carry our suitcases in and out. The house, in central Putignano, has two comfortable, tastefully renovated rooms with huge, comfortable beds. It was very clean and excellent value. There's no air conditioning, but the rooms are well insulated and have fans. Shared spaces include a living room and a kitchenette with a refrigerator.

The location is fantastic, just behind the theater at the entrance to the historic center, with good public parking options. We came to Putignano during festival season in the local towns and booked on our trusted travel agent's recommendation. Traffic made us quite late, but the owner kindly waited up for us. The house is beautiful inside and out, and our room was warm, clean, and had all the comforts, including a kettle with assorted drink sachets. One small downside: the access stairs are very steep and definitely not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Service and hospitality here are second to none, and I'll definitely come back. This B&B is above average, luxurious and welcoming, at the entrance to Putignano's beautiful historic center. It's set in part of a lovely historic residence that, the owner told me, belonged to Mrs. Riccardi, the mother of five Garibaldi soldiers. There is a common area and two very comfortable double bedrooms.
