Arriving in Bari
Palazzo Gatto Bianco is 9.2 km from Bari Airport (BRI), where the Ferrovie del Nord Barese line runs to Bari Centrale. Bari Centrale station is about 0.7 km away, roughly a 10-minute walk. 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.
With a 4.2/5 guest rating from 562 reviews, Palazzo Gatto Bianco earns its strongest marks for location, comfort and cleanliness. Those three themes come up well ahead of anything else, which suggests a property that gets the fundamentals right rather than one trading on extras.
