"We loved this hotel and the wonderful staff. Our room was very clean, amenities good, linens and bed excellent and had a private patio with view. Excellent breakfast. Staff went out of their way to give helpful advice when we asked for directions or a restaurant suggestion. Stay here as it is amazing and quite reasonably priced."

"This is the place to stay if you really want to experience the beauty of Taranto you must stay at the Alberto Del Sole
The staff is very helpful and they’re absolutely wonderful. They’ve been backward for you from the beginning to the end of your stay.
Highly recommended I give not five stars but 10 stars"
"Breakfast on the terrace with a stunning view of the sea was memorable. However it was on the third floor with no lift. No good for anyone with mobility issues. The staff were friendly. The apartments were also up narrow stairs, but we're modern with good facilities. Don't be put off by the appearance of the rest of the street. The location was excellent. Close to the castle, old town and museums. Enjoyed our stay."
