In the town of Conversano where contemporary buildings are built into the walls of the ancient castle, on a tiny side street of nondescript edifices a massive wooden double door opens onto the lovely patio garden at il Corte dei Nobili, the "Court of the Nobles." This is no ordinary Air BnB where the keys are left in a hidden spot and you perform a DIY familiarization of the place. Late on a Sunday night we were cordially received by the owner's parents and escorted up 2 flights of marble stairs to a spacious unit consisting of a master bedroom with a queen bed. The living room sofa, separated into two single beds and a rollaway bed tucked into a separate corner provided our party of five with just enough comfort and privacy for our 3-night stay. The spacious bathroom with shower was fully equipped with a hair dryer and toiletries. A kitchen or cooking area was not needed and therefore not missed. A dining table with six chairs and a buffet, along with a large coffee table completed the furnishings, while the the walls were lined with frames of interesting artwork, making for tasteful, elegant surroundings. It was pleasant to awaken to the morning sun out on the balcony and to be greeted on our way out with solicitousness about our comfort and good night's sleep. A simple continental breakfast of juice, coffee and a croissant was arranged daily at a bar around the corner, bustling with business even early in the morning. Across the street was a small fruit and vegetable stand and a few meters away, a handy little grocery store for picking up snacks and bottled water for our day at the beach. They recommended different beaches in nearby coastal towns, where to dine and notably, the finest gelato in town. It goes without saying, all the personal touches at Corte dei Nobili made for a delightful and memorable beach vacation in southern Italy. It also confirmed our determination to support local family enterprises which sustain the community.

A perfect place to stay in a beautiful small city which is close to main attractions in the area (we recommend renting a car and visit around the area; parking space is easily available near, either public or private). The rooms are spacious and comfortable (more like apartments), very clean, with all the necessities. I should also point out that being summer, we really appreciated having an AC in each room. The host was very friendly, responsive and has helped with everything we needed (accommodations, information about the area, about transport, etc).

Not necessarily what we didn't like, but the breakfast was a bit strict (this might not apply to everyone). The croissants they offer are very good.

Not really B&B, more apartment. Breakfast is at coffee bar close by, but it's a bit confusing for non italian traveler and staff at bar was not so pleasant 😐 still got very tastefully warm croissants. As some other comments here, I wish breakfast would be at that amazing terrace facing inside yard ☺️

Host was super friendly and helpful even though we haven't met in person 😁 we were looking for overnight stay and we got great value for low price on amazing apartment building with gorgeous garden. I hope in future, host would utilize more common area and the beautiful terrace.

Carlo is a great host, he made sure I had everything I needed. The location is great, very central in Conversano, close to restaurants, supermarkets and cafes as well as to the old town. The rooms is spacious and well furnished. The accomodation is very clean.

I found the price of the accomodation high, although it is quite generalised to the whole region.

The room was very comfortable and clean. The location is excellent for access to the old centre and various shops, eateries etc. the interior garden area is an oasis that greets you as you come through the large door off of the street.

Nothing we didn’t like. And Conversano is amazing.

The location is excellent. From Conversano, it is easy to reach other places like Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, etc. The owner, Carlo, is very accommodating to our needs. The rooms are spacious and clean.

It was the best B&B that we had for our puglia road trip. If it’s not on your way, make a slight turn to stop here ! The kindness, smile of Carlo was far above every other Italian puglia people we have met so far.

We should have stay longer ;)

very clean, helpful owner
