I did not know that I would be staying in a palace, and not just any palace but the most beautiful one in Trani. It's gorgeous. This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in my life. It is a tourist attraction in its own right. The room was big with a fantastic view and a high ceiling with exposed beams, the bathroom was ultramodern and a pleasure to use: the perfect combination of new and old. The host, Ben...I cannot praise him enough. He speaks perfect English and French. Long story, but on one of my nights in Trani, because of a mistake I made, I found myself without a place to stay. By pure chance, Ben contacted me at that very moment to find out how the rest of my stay was going, and even though I had already finished my stay at La Soffitta Covelli, which unfortunately was sold out for the other nights I wanted to be in town, he bent over backwards, on his own personal time, to find me a room for the night, and added that if I needed or wanted anything during the rest of my stay, I could count on him to help me out. I felt safe and secure and as if I had made a friend in Trani. He went above an beyond the call of duty. I will return to Trani because it is a magical place, and when I do, there is no other place I will stay than La Soffitta Covelli. It truly was beyond my expectations.

Great location close to the waterfront. Trani is truly a gem, not too crowded, plenty of history, and seems to be off the beaten path. The accomodation was fabulous: an old baroque palace dating back to 1753 with beautifully modern apartments. From the luxurious bathroom to the stocked fridge and personal box of snacks it was a memorable stay. The host, Maria-Carla, was awesome and went above and beyond to make us welcome. There are some steps but totally worth the effort. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Nothing.

The room was beautiful, very big, with a nice shower room and a very well organised kitchenette corner. All the interiors are new and of high quality. The room came with a private covered balcony too, that was the cherry on the cake. Plus the nice surprise of receiving complimentary fresh croissants on the door every morning. The owner and the cleaning lady have been very helpful and kind at all times. Amazing! We just loved it there.

Nothing, it was all super!

There was tea, coffee and snacks available but we had to buy fresh milk. Fortunately there is a lovely cafe almost opposite with lots of fresh fruit, sandwiches, pastries and frozen yogurt. Great location.

There was a gap in the hand rail towards the top or the stairs. It took me a while to realise how to extend the automatic light on the stairs. It would have been good to have had 2 sets of keys.

We loved our stay in Trani, and the B&B was located in a great spot. Our host Maria Carla was very attentive and gave us several recommendations for local restaurants (although any restaurant in the area is good), along with things to see and do and how to get there. We will definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity to travel to Trani again.

Fantastic little B&B just a 5 minute walk from the harbour & there were also restaurants & bars in the same street. Fortunately, we had the B&B to ourselves, there's a communal area with kettle, coffee machine & fridge as well as a microwave. There's also a balcony with a table & chairs, ideal for a pre dinner drink & morning tea/coffee. Our lovely host also brought us fresh croissants in the morning. The bedrooms are good sizes & well decorated with air conditioning & TVs with Netflix. All ensuite bathrooms had great showers enclosures & were clean & modern.

The B&B is on the 2nd floor & there are quite a few stairs to climb, but that's the only downside of this place.

The apartment is located in a magnificent and historical palazzo. We had a beautiful room on the upper floor with a balcony. Everything is nicely cared for and very clean. The bed is extremely comfortable and there were a few snacks and drinks provided. The host was responsive and kind.

Astounding beautiful building Great fresh Croissants breakfast/ coffeez biscuits nibbles. Lication 10/10. Close to old port/ in old town. Best shower in 6 wks of travel. Big & accommodating. Fresh towels each day. Awesome welcome/ farewell. Owner took us to bus stop for Matera( think we got lucky cos we are ' old' haha!!! Generous/ kind owners.. If we could give more than 10/ 10, we would. Thank u!!

Nothing to not like!

We first saw this building during a previous stay in Trani. We planned our next trip to Trani around when the large room at this B&B was available. Lovely courtyard and nice terrace with chairs. Hope to go back for a longer stay next time!

We didn’t mind but there are a lot of stairs so it could be difficult to get up if you have less mobility or lots of heavy luggage.

A lovely light suite of well-furnished rooms on the upper floors of a historic building. Great location, a short distance from the Cathedral. Our room came off a central breakfast area, which also gave access to a small charming balcony. Able to walk to the Cathedral in the morning and swim off the harbour walls. Fabulous. Good value for money too. Convenient and easy parking a short walk away in Piazza della Repubblica.

We hardly saw the other guests but at busy times you might not have the balcony to yourselves. (I think one of the rooms did have a private balcony, if that's important)
