About
About Rifugio Degli Svevi Bari
A small B&B set steps from Bari’s medieval castle in the heart of the old town.
Rifugio Degli Svevi Bari is positioned within the dense network of stone lanes that define Bari Vecchia, the city’s historic quarter. The property occupies a traditional building near the Norman-Swabian Castle, placing guests within immediate reach of Bari’s most recognisable landmarks. Rather than a large hotel structure, this is an intimate bed and breakfast that focuses on simplicity, location, and ease of access.
Air-conditioned guest rooms provide relief from southern Italy’s warm summers, while complimentary WiFi supports both leisure and work needs. Interiors lean toward clean, modern finishes set against the backdrop of centuries-old surroundings. Mornings begin in a neighbourhood where cafés open early and local life unfolds at street level. Evenings settle into a quieter rhythm as the old town’s lantern-lit alleys take on a softer tone.
