DILMAN - Luxury Stay in Bari, open June–October.
DILMAN occupies a carefully restored 19th-century palazzo in Bari's historic center, originally built as a noble residence before its 2010 transformation into a luxury hotel.
The building retains its original architectural character while offering contemporary amenities across its 26 rooms.
Located on Via Alessandro Maria Calefati, it serves as both accommodation and event space for destination weddings seeking authentic Puglian elegance.
We loved this hotel - affordable, great location, very comfortable rooms, wonderful breakfast but for us, the service was the over the top factor. The staff at Dilman were so welcoming & helpful. I've travelled a lot around the world & experienced a lot of hotels & the Dilman experience was easily at the top of the list.
