Where to stay in Palese - Macchie
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Palese - Macchie suits travellers who want a residential quarter rather than a base among Bari's central hotels. The parish churches of Palese - Macchie do the orienting. The ground between the chiesa dello Spirito Santo and the chiesa di San Gabriele dell'Addolorata carries the ordinary business of the district, so a stay there means shops, bars and Sunday bells within a few streets.
Closer to the Torre della Bella Mora the built fabric thins and the older side of Macchie takes over. Santo Spirito shares the municipio.
