We stayed in 12 hotels over 3 trips in Puglia and this is the only one we wouldn't go back to.
1) Noise: You can hear everything going on in the hallway, the other B&B room, and the apt next door. Our last morning we were woken up at 6am by the very loud guests next door. This is obv not something the host can control - but it makes it impossible to relax.
2) No breakfast: Host said it specifically explained online that there is no breakfast and snacks are offered as a courtesy. I don't mind having to go out for breakfast - but then why misleadingly call this a B&B? Most guests don't read the fine print and will assume a B&B has breakfast. Please call it a Pensione or Rooms.
3) Room: No kettle (big inconvenience if you're a tea drinker), no mugs, no glasses. The new couch, which allows more people to sleep here, makes it much more cramped than in the photos - I wouldn't have booked it if I had known the table with chairs was no longer there. The terrace is in a very small, narrow courtyard that bathrooms have windows onto, so the air isn't the freshest.
4) Perfectly safe area, but not picturesque. In general, you only need a half-day in Altamura - do yourself a favor and either splurge on that fancy hotel in the Old Town, or stay in the absolutely delightful Giardini B&B in Gravina in Puglia for the same price as this - it's just a 20min train ride (even shorter by car) and you'll have nicer finishes, much more space, a nice breakfast spread, a garden patio, and more.
