Hotel Europa in Taranto

Excellent location. The breakfast was the best of all the hotels that we've been to.

Our first visit to overnight in Puglia so we'd booked a villa just south of Taranto for a 2 week stay. Decided we deserved first two nights in a hotel to orient ourselves and delighted to discover the charms of Hotel Europa. Taranto's one way system is designed to test the patience of newcomers and we found ourselves on a circuit round the old town and fortuitously parked opposite the castello and the tourism information office who kindly pointed out that Hotel Europa was across the bridge immediately in front of us and a 3 minute walk away. Situated on a handy corner with splendid views of the Mediterranean and so-called Little Sea. A bonus to discover reserved parking spaces for guests at no extra cost. We were greeted and checked in by a gentleman called Marcello Centola, clearly a long-serving member of hotel and blessed with old-school courtesy-a true gentleman. He looked after us throughout the two days, always ready to help, and recommended a fine restaurant, Guernica, a couple of blocks away for our first evening. The following day we discovered Pasta Passione, equally good and just around the corner. We also enjoyed coffee and lunch at Barone opposite the castello. Breakfast was excellent with a large range of selection, especially breads and bakery items. We could not have had a nicer beginning for our stay in Puglia. I should mention that some of the rooms appear to have used the high ceilings to create an upstairs and downstairs with stairs that might prove challenging to older or less mobile folk but we found our room (401) to be perfectly comfortable if eccentrically arranged. Hotel is two minutes walk from the bridge separating the newer part of the city form the centro storica. We arrived in Bari and drove the 90 or so kilometers to Taranto which proved to be a great base for our stay to explore the southern areas of Puglia.

Perfect location; excellent, comfortable room with beautiful view; very kind and helpful staff; unusually generous full breakfast. If we ever return to Taranto we will certainly stay here.

Perfect location, our windows opened up to the sea and old town. We had a split level room, so a little more space than other hotels in Europe. Parking right nearby, walking distance to anywhere you'll want to go. Staff was helpful and professional

A pleasant and unexpected experience
Our stay at Europa Hotel was very pleasant. We recommend it to anyone staying at a four stars establishment. The personnel was great. Very respectful and ready to assist us

Great and friendly Service Personal. Only 2 Minutes to the Archeological Museum and City Center, 5Minutes to the Historical City Center and 15 Minutes to Train Station and Overland Bus Station by Foot.
