Where to stay in Bari
when you have a car.
Choose a base that keeps the sea close, the city within reach and your car safely outside the daily search for parking.

The right location changes the trip.
A car is useful for exploring Puglia, but it can be inconvenient in Bari’s historic centre. A coastal apartment with confirmed private parking gives you both freedom and peace of mind.
Reach central Bari
Visit the old town and central seafront without making the ZTL part of your accommodation routine.
Explore beyond Bari
Use the apartment as a base for coastal towns, beaches and inland landmarks.
Why private parking matters in Bari
Parking availability can change by hour and season, while parts of the centre are controlled by a ZTL. When comparing accommodation, check whether “parking” means a reserved on-site space or only the possibility of finding public parking nearby.
San Girolamo as a coastal base
Oceanomare is in Bari’s San Girolamo area, 50 metres from the sea. The neighbourhood combines the waterfront with everyday services including supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and a pharmacy. Central Bari remains accessible, while the airport and roads out of the city are convenient by car.
A simple Puglia road-trip rhythm
Spend one day exploring Bari without the car, then use it for a coastal or countryside day trip. Returning to a guaranteed parking space is particularly useful for families and groups travelling with luggage or beach equipment.
