Hotels near Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Martyrs in Molfetta

The Dogana Resort is very much a 5-star hotel. It is a beautifully renovated seventeenth century palace/seminary - now with all modern features, yet without losing the simple grandeur of the building’s origins. Molfetta does is not as touristed as other larger coastal or hill towns in Puglia. In addition to feeling the rhythm of local life here, it is an excellent jumping off point for parts south, west and north. With a car there are many truly unique experiences within a few hours in each direction. At the hotel, our room (with an about 15 foot high ceiling) had a balcony overlooking Molfetta’s port. We enjoyed the vantage point, including watching the local fishing boats heading out to sea and back with their catch. The hotel front desk staff are exceptional! The team was welcoming and accommodating through our visit - answering our many questions and otherwise assisting us throughout our stay. While English is not widely spoken in Molfetta, we had no problems speaking with the bilingual front desk staff. The breakfast menu is ample, with attentive service (Dominico). And of course excellent coffee. We also quite successfully used valet parking to avoid the hassle finding a parking place between day trips.

We have just returned from Riva after 7 nights. We stayed in a self catering apartment. There is no kettle or toaster. Boiling water on the stove but no grill pan as an alternative for making toast. We realised as soon as we arrived its in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing at all within walking distance. They asked were we hiring a car (around €250 for 3 days) but i declined as driving to Bari & back of an evening meant i couldnt have a drink. I go away to relax with a cocktail not drive everywhere :) The bus to giovinazza is 10-15 mins we had to do this when we needed a shop for bread/milk/water etc. The bus to Bari is 30 mins we had to do this each night to go out for our evening meal & drinks. There is an onsite pizzeria & restaurant which serves only fish. The hotel is lovely staff friendly & helpful (mostly) and the private beach made up for the fact it was so remote. It is stunning so we went to the beach each day (€5 each per day) We tried to go to the pool on day one but the lifeguard took our temperature (covid 19) and said “uh oh!” Apparently it was too high (also 30 degree sunshine) so we couldnt sit by the pool!! .. yet we went to the beach every day where our temperature wasnt high once. Mmm?? Prices in the hotel are very reasonable for food & drink. Fresh fruit & the berry slushes are gorgeous!! Overall we had a lovely stay but sadly its location is too far out having to get the bus every night also the last one at 10pm so couldnt enjoy our evening & stay out got a little tedious and would prevent me from going back again.

By far the best aspect of staying here is the host Ylenia who contacted us the day before our arrival with tips on where to park and was waiting for us. Nothing is ever too much trouble for this lovely young lady whose command of English is excellent. The location of the B & B is excellent. Close to the sea within a lovely old part of the town which seems to have been recently regenerated. The rooftop terrace is great with sea views and an outdoor shower. We were able to find free parking a 5 minute walk away. The breakfast is adequate but nothing special and we were woken by the sounds of it being set up each morning. Unfortunately, other aspects of the property let it down. As soon as you enter you can smell the damp. The smell is strongest in the breakfast room in the basement, which has a dehumidifier and pink mould on the stone walls. Our room ”Sabbia” on the ground floor also had damp issues and as reviews I have read suggest, nothing seems to have been done to properly address the issue. Peeling paint around the tiny window and in the corner of the room. There was also black mould around the base of the shower which could quite easily have been cleaned off. We also found a previous guest's toenail clipping on the bathroom floor and the area beneath the bed hadn't been cleaned in a while. The tiny bedroom window and bathroom window both opened onto the street. There is a restaurant directly outside the ground floor so no privacy with them open and with zero light and very little ventilation it is no wonder that there is a damp issue. This would also feel claustrophobic for some people. Anyone with asthma or allergies would be wise to avoid this property. We only stayed 2 nights but we discussed these issues with other guests who were experiencing the same as us. I would not recommend staying here until the issues with the damp are rectified.

Anybody who has traveled around Italy will know that hotels can be a little ”variable”. Villa Wanda is one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. it is not a grand or luxury hotel but at times it felt like it. It is set in a beautiful large house on a main road in Trani so it is relatively easy to find. However, I wasn't aware of traffic noise throughout the night. It's not on the seafront but the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Parking was very straightforward. The entrance hall is very imposing with a large wooden staircase and a huge chandelier. The entire building has the feeling of being well cared for. Our room ( which included a second single room ) was large, attractively furnished and clean, as was the spacious bathroom. I'm not sure if we were dealing with staff or proprietors but everybody was very pleasant and easy going and somehow we seemed to rapidly have all the information we needed to make our stay pleasant. We only stayed one night so we didn't use any other facilities except for breakfast which was a typical continental breakfast consisting of fresh ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Wanda. Everything was welcoming. It didn't seem soulless like staying in one of the big chain hotels but neither did you feel as if you were an intruder in somebody else's house. I would recommend Villa Wanda to anybody visiting this area.

The hotel is 200 meters by the sea, very close to the sea, and you can walk. The hotel is very clean, very tidy and very good. But the breakfast is too monotonous and not very good.

This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Trani with everything within walking distance. The rooms are spotless and comfortable and the bathrooms perfect. The hotel is built into an old regal home so the layout is peculiar but this removes nothing from the experience of an excellent hotel. It is in a pedestrian zone so parking has to be paid for as is common in central Italian hotels. There is a beach club available but this is also with a fee - another common Italian feature. Good simple breakfast. I would definitely return.
