Hotel Giardino Giamperduto — Hotel in Bernalda

We spent three nights at this hotel and just loved it. It’s a simple place, not some grand palace or boutique concept but it in so many ways the overall a experience was better than many of the fanciest hotels I’ve stayed in. It’s honest, impeccably clean and the service of the charming, generous family that run it is so welcoming. The warmest greeting upon arrival is backed up by an attitude that nothing is too much of a problem. In fact we messed up our booking and were arriving a day early and, even though they were fully booked, they juggled something around and found a place for us. The best feature of the hotel itself are the lovely little gardens and a cute retro pool that create a little oasis in what is a residential corner of the town. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the main drag and they have bikes available to make that shorter and to give you some idea of the service, one day we got caught walking back from town in a rain shower the owner spotted us on the street and insisted on giving us a ride back. While it’s an older hotel it’s well maintained, good air conditioning, and the breakfast is simple but decent. The one thing they could improve is the WiFi but for the price...

We spent 5 nights at this delightful, peaceful hotel and loved our stay from beginning to end. Hotel sits overlooking the Bernalda Valley, which you can see while splashing about in the pool. Pool area is wonderful, the grounds are dotted with olive trees and bougainvillea and oleander bushes give great colour. Our room (No 12) was large, very comfortable, clean and well appointed, with an outside sitting area too. The hotel provides breakfast, and you need to make your own plans for lunch and dinner. Not a problem as the town of Bernalda is only a few minutes walk away.There are only 12 rooms, so there is a comfortable and friendly vibe. A few guests were using the hotel as a stopover during a longer touring holiday. Most liked it so much they stayed longer than intended! The staff were exceptional, very helpful, very friendly and informative. All in all, a lovely holiday in a...

The shower in room 10 is like one of those Emotional showers in a wellness center it throws cold water on you then warm the cold again without having to do anything. , ||In room 10 we couldn’t connect to wifi, the breakfast was just the bare minimum with as highlights a good apple cake and a decent nu cappuccino however but getting one took some time. || And if you are an entomologist you will love the pool. I have seen a bunch of spiders, lots of flying in and non flying insects floating around in the pool to keep you busy for hours. And don’t worry they don’t clean it overnight so you can continue your work the following day. ||But on a plus side the bed is good the rooms are nice and you are far enough from the nightlife not to hear it and close enough to walk to the Main Street. But I’d u want an air conditioning you are...
