Palazzo della Torre
A historic Bari palazzo, apartment-style, with sea views worth planning around.
A place to stay in Bari
Palazzo della Torre is a historical property in Bari, Italy, operating as a collection of self-catering apartments across eleven room categories. Several units have direct sea views, private terraces, or balconies. Rates start from €92. The apartments are fully equipped for independent stays: stovetops, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and kitchenware are standard. All units have private bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The property accepts pets and has family rooms, making it a practical choice for travellers who want more than a standard hotel room.
Who this stay suits
Self-contained apartment-style accommodation in a historical Bari building, with sea views available in several categories and full kitchen facilities throughout.
Best for
- Longer stays needing kitchen access
- Families wanting interconnected rooms
- Pet owners
- Travellers prioritising sea views and outdoor space
Less suited to
- Guests wanting on-site hotel services
- Solo travellers on a tight budget
Sea views and outdoor space
Several apartments face the sea directly, and the property has terraces available across multiple room categories. The One-Bedroom Apartment with Sea View and Terrace and the Suite with Terrace are the most dedicated options for guests who want both outdoor space and a water-facing aspect.
Historical building character
The property occupies a palazzo in Bari, giving the apartments a structural character that differs from purpose-built hotel blocks. High ceilings, private entrances, and the building's age all contribute to a setting that feels distinctly Italian rather than generic.
Apartment kitchens, fully fitted
Every apartment includes a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, electric kettle, and coffee machine. A dining area and washing machine with dryer are also present, which meaningfully changes what a multi-night stay looks like compared to a standard room.
Flexible layouts for families
Each unit sleeps on both a queen bed and a sofa bed. Interconnected rooms are available, and the property has family rooms as a dedicated category. A children's high chair is on hand, and the Family Studio is specifically configured for families travelling with young children.

Arriving in Bari
Palazzo della Torre - Seaview Luxury historical apartments is 20.9 km from Bari Airport (BRI), where the Ferrovie del Nord Barese line runs to Bari Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Bari Centrale, about 11.5 km away. Bari operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. No parking is listed here, so check where to leave a car before driving into the centre. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 44 reviews, guests gave the property a 4/5 rating. Location, comfort, and cleanliness are the three themes that come through consistently in feedback. The sea view and apartment format are noted as practical draws, particularly for guests staying multiple nights.
