Le Dimore Di Federico

Francesco made us feel welcome right away and was a lovely, helpful host. He arranged a comfortable, nicely furnished stay with all the essentials, plus a special breakfast deal at a café with delicious croissants. The location is central, only a few steps from the Swabian Castle and the Cathedral of San Francesco.

The apartment is lovely and peaceful, right beside the castle, with the old town and lots of restaurants an easy walk away. Federico met us just a few steps from the apartment, pointed us toward a parking spot, and then showed us around, explained how things worked, and shared useful tips. One thing to know: the stairs are steep and won't suit anyone with difficulty walking. We were delighted with our stay and would happily book again.

The suite is roomy and reasonably clean, and the property is good value. Francesco was helpful when welcoming us and giving directions. Its location makes it easy to explore Trani's historic center on foot. For a stay of two days or more, the bathroom could use extra supplies like toilet paper, shower gel, and soap, and the fan needs cleaning. Heating the living room and kitchen better would help too, since a plasterboard closet structure blocks much of the heat. I'd recommend it.

The room is in the historic center, close to the Cathedral, Jewish quarter, castle, and port. It was nicely heated and came with a pleasant courtesy kit. Our host was kind and helpful, recommending free parking, lending us a Bulldock as an anti-theft device, and sharing local cultural information and advice about restaurants that were open. Breakfast is arranged at a nearby bar. Since the host has only recently taken over the B&B, we'd suggest adding a kettle and an espresso machine. Thanks so much, Francesco.
