Choose your base before your dates
A town-centre apartment and a countryside home make very different holidays. Compare the address on the booking map with the places you want to visit.
- Without a car: check walking routes, station access and your airport transfer.
- With children: check bedroom layout, stairs, outdoor space and pool access.
- Working remotely: ask about Wi-Fi and a suitable workspace for that home.
After booking
Keep your confirmation and complete the requested online check-in. Share your expected arrival time and tell us about essential access needs before travelling.
Where to stay in Altamura
- Centro storico di Altamura — Choose this area for the historic centre. Check stairs, the walking route from your arrival point and street access with luggage. Ask about traffic restrictions and the nearest permitted drop-off before driving to the door.
- Alta Murgia — Choose the countryside for more separation from the town. Check the final access road, parking and the distance to groceries before booking. Confirm the facilities of that particular home; a countryside location alone does not include a pool or garden.
Getting around Altamura
Make a realistic plan for visiting several towns and returning to your home. Check current rail or bus services rather than assuming a direct connection between villages. If you choose a rural home, confirm the final access road, parking and your evening transport.
What to see

Choosing your travel season
The best time to visit Altamura is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months. During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, perfect for exploring the historic center, hiking in the Alta Murgia, and enjoying outdoor excursions. Summer can be very hot, while winter offers a quieter experience but with cooler temperatures and some attractions potentially having reduced hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book without entering dates?
Yes. Browse the published properties first, then add your dates and guests to check availability. An undated listing is not a confirmation that the home is available for your trip.
Are all homes close to the centre or beach?
Check each property's address and map. The destination name covers different locations, including the town and surrounding countryside. Choose the home around the places you actually want to visit.
Is parking or a pool included?
Only the amenities on the individual listing apply. Confirm private or shared use, opening dates and any separate charges. Ask the team about a particular requirement before booking.
How do I check the total and cancellation terms?
Enter both dates and the full guest count in the booking engine. Review the total price, mandatory charges and the cancellation terms of the selected rate before payment.
Plan your days
Airport transfers, boat trips, chefs and other experiences need a separate enquiry. Tell us your dates, group size and budget so we can check options; availability and costs are confirmed separately.
