Description

The B&B Chimera Bari was born from the desire to enhance the city of Bari and the whole territory of Puglia.

The B&B Chimera Bari is located in Bari, in a perfect point to visit everything, in fact it is only 5-10 minutes walk from the train station, the center of Bari, the old town and the beautiful seafront of Bari.

The B&B Chimera Bari, is an apartment divided into three rooms, each with its own door to the room, is located on the second floor of an apartment building. The building was named historic, as it dates back to the 1930s. Almost all the furnishings and details have been painted, revalued or created by hand.

The rooms have vaults of almost five meters high and the historic floors, the style between shabby and retro will win you over.

What guests say

Traveler reviews highlight the central location of this property, making it convenient for the train station, old town, and seafront. Rooms are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully decorated—often featuring vintage or charming design elements. The host, Antonella, is frequently praised for her friendliness, helpful advice, and attention to guest needs. Some minor negatives include the lack of included breakfast and occasional comments about the older building, but these are balanced by the abundance of cafés nearby and the excellent overall value for money. An ideal choice for a comfortable and practical stay in Bari.

The location is very convenient for going to the central station or the historic center and the esplanade. I would always come back.

The room was really comfortable and well furnished, perfectly clean. I really liked the attention to detail and the fact that there was a kettle with teas and herbal teas in the room. The room also had a cozy little balcony (too bad the street was a bit noisy in the evening, but it was Saturday night and the location is in the center of Bari, so that’s understandable!). The owner was really kind and welcoming. Both in arranging the key handover via WhatsApp at the time of booking and on site giving me a whole series of useful tips on how to visit the city and its surroundings. I recommend it!

The structure is very nice in the center of Bari. The area is absolutely quiet and safe, and you can visit it even late at night without any problems. From here, you can reach the seafront, Old Bari, and the main historical streets on foot. Perfect organization, hospitality, and courtesy from the manager, Antonella. The only downside is that breakfast is missing, but there are many bars in the immediate vicinity that can be reached in a few minutes. For the rest, there is really nothing missing. However, compared to a hotel, here you feel at home. I will definitely return.

The room was very clean and spacious, the air conditioning worked very well. Antonella gave us information about the Puglia area. What we didn't like was the poorly maintained building entrance. The elevator is old but worked well.
