Dimora Intini

The hotel excels in cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenient location. Guests appreciate the spacious, modern rooms and generous breakfast. Free parking on blue zones is an added advantage.

Dimora in Italian translates into English as mansion. Intini is indeed a mansion, with the largest hotel rooms I have seen. Noci itself is not a draw, but it is well located as a base to access the major sights in the area, such as Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternina and Martina Franca, as well as a visit to coastal cities Bari or Monopoli. Intini was a very good option in the area, given the quality of the rooms, breakfast and cost. The bed was large and comfy, pillows were good, and there were ample seating options and storage space for clothes and luggage. The bathroom was large and modern, everything worked well. Parking is on the street, where you can find it, and the hotel provides a card to avoid paying the metered rate. The hotel has a restaurant where you have breakfast, a very satisfying affair, and dinner if you choose. Our dinner there was one of the best we had on our trip. The one big downside was our room location, which overlooked the front of the hotel. The restaurant, with outdoor seating, is in front and open all day until late, and they insist on playing music, a selection we found quite annoying, while the restaurant is open. Daytime is not an issue but, in the evening and later, after a long day, the music was intrusive and bothersome. Even with our windows closed, the sound found us. We requested it be lowered, which they sort of did (not enough to suit us) but that’s bad for the ambiance they want to portray. As this was a daily issue for us, it mitigated an otherwise very positive experience.
