Giovinazzo L'Arena Hotels

"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."

"This was a cute little studio apartment nestled in the historical center of Giovinazzo. The walk to the apartment was super easy from the center square and was only a short walk from the train station. The main room was clean and had a dining area and a little kitchenette. Although we didn’t cook anything, it seemed set up perfectly to use. The bathroom was clean and had everything you need. Since the apartment was so centrally located, it was easy to pop in and out throughout the day to rest, change, or whatever. Check in was super easy and the host (Marcello) was super communicative. He contacted us a couple days before we arrived and made sure we had directions to the place and met us there to check us in, show us around, and hand off the key. I can’t say enough good things about this apartment and would definitely stay there again if we return to Giovinazzo. "

"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. "

"Good clean hotel with beautiful staff especially the lovely breakfast lady"

"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. "
