"This little apartment is in an excellent location. It is truly unique—a cave apartment all of stone and with no windows. There is a well-equipped kitchenette. The bathroom has lots of shelves and places for your personal things.However it sometimes doesn’t have hot water! The bed is a fold-out couch that is against the wall. We are two older people with bad knees and it was difficult for us to get in and out of bed. It wasn’t possible to pull the unit away from the wall because you would still have to climb over the back of the couch. It was cold and damp, which might be welcome in the summer, but uncomfortable in April. There are space heaters in the room."

"What a delightful place for a year-round visit to Giovinazzo. In the summer you walk right out into the port and your own terrace, and in the winter the heating and hot water keep you cosy. Beautifully decorated, with great explanations in Italian and English so you can get comfortable right away. I will definitely return and highly recommended."

"The sea nearby was nice, very walkable area! The host was not very pleasant! We arrived to no air conditioning, one of the reasons I chose this place. She apparently said there was a fan instead which we didn't understand. It was extremely hot, very noisy, and the smoke from people on the sidewalk made it unbearable. My brother tried to stay but all those things were too much. The host refused to refund any money even though he only stayed two or three of the ten he planned to be there. He checked out and got a different place with air conditioning right arpund the corner. Would never stay there again due to those reasons and hostess being very unpleasant. "

"Fantastic hotel with great breakfast choice and amazing views of the Adriatic "

"We were greeted by the lovely Mariella even though we arrived very late (flight delay). Antonio arranged for us the be picked up at the airport by Luca who was so gracious and helpful. Then the home was perfect. Yes, there are a lot of stairs (but in the 17th century there weren’t many elevators). And, yes, there are a couple of short doorway thresholds but folks back then were shorter. We loved these idiosyncrasies! Step and duck has us physically fit now. The place opened up to the port piazza which was teeming with activity every night. We were hoping to enjoy a true Italian experience and we got it. The place is steps away from beaches which we enjoyed every day. There are also restaurants steps away and gelaterias everywhere. We met some lovely neighbors and cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay at Antonio and Chantal place. Definitely recommend it and hope to be back one day. "
