The commitment to Apulian cuisine at the on-site restaurants strikes me as a genuine highlight.

mixed feelings about this place

inconvenient breakfast missed breakfast

i found the breakfast times inconvenient. it ran from 6:30 to 10:30 am, but on my departure day, i couldn't get into the breakfast area at 6:50 am. my flight left at 8:30 am, so i missed breakfast. it was annoying because i had already paid for it, so it was a waste of money.
