Olive Tree is newly opened, in the heart of the old city. With a common room, fully equipped kitchen, upstairs terrace and free wifi- it's a great place to meet other travellers.

The young Australian/Italian owners David and Valentina have travelled the world extensively and understand the needs of the backpacker. Olive Tree offers a comfortable private room with ensuite or dormitory accommodation. 8am to 11pm reception with friendly advice, information on city tours, ferries to Greece and Croatia and day trips to nearby Alberobello, Matera and Lecce can all be easily organised. Each newly refurbished room has brand new beds and mattresses, its own clean private bathroom and balcony while the large rooftop terrace has panoramic views of the ocean.

Olive Tree is nestled right in amongst the locals in this very quiet, authentic pocket of Bari Vecchia. You will love the sight of ladies relentlessly sweeping the floor at the entrance of their house and the smell of fresh laundry which permanently fills the air as you greet the morning on one of our many balconies. Narrow cobbled streets lead you around a blissful maze of this medieval city- unchanged after more than a thousand years! With women making orecchiette (fresh pasta) in front of their homes and small alimentari selling local specialities like focaccia, cheese, salami, olive oil and wine- this is an experience you are unlikely to find anywhere else in Europe.

Olive Tree is located just 2 minutes walk from the Basilica of San Nicola, 5 minutes walk from the port and cathedral and 20 minutes from the central train station.
Free WiFi and breakfast included. Laundry service available.
