Bed & Breakfast Mare Nostrum

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Yes, this is a strong budget choice in Brindisi: it matched the guest score of our Best Value pick at a little over half the price. Book elsewhere if a generous, fresh breakfast matters to you, because guests describe it as basic.

Who it suits and who should skip it

Travellers passing through by ferry or train are a natural fit. Guests say it is in the old town, near the port and the train station.

It also suits anyone who likes a personal touch. The host is described as responsive and helpful, with local tips, maps and restaurant discounts.

Family rooms are listed, the tags mark it as pet-friendly, and facilities for disabled guests and a 24-hour front desk appear in the listing. Confirm the details that matter to you before booking.

Skip it if breakfast is a highlight of your trip. Guests say it relies on prepackaged sweet snacks, with self-service yogurt and coffee and no fresh fruit.

Location and getting around

The address is Via Armengol 47 - 49. Guests describe a central setting in the old town, near the port and the train station, and rate the location 9.6 out of 10. That is the strongest number in this property's profile.

Our data does not include distances to specific sights for this property. Open a map and check walking times to the port, the station and anything else you plan to visit. Parking is not listed in our data, so ask the host if you are driving.

What guests say

The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 653 reviews, joint third of the 8 properties we compared. That is a solid result from a good number of reviews.

Two themes stand out on the positive side: the old town location close to the port and station, and the host, who helps with tips, maps and restaurant discounts.

The main complaint is breakfast. Guests mention self-service yogurt and coffee but say it leans on prepackaged sweets without fresh fruit. If you want a proper breakfast, plan to eat breakfast elsewhere.

Price and what you get compared with our other Brindisi picks

Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were €75 per night, €150 in total. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.

That was 44% below the sample median of €135.07 per night. Our Best Value pick, Hotel Orientale, is a 4-star at €138.50 with the same score of 8.9. Our Luxury pick, Executive Inn Boutique Hotel, is a 4-star at €137.15 with a score of 9.1. In the reference period, the Luxury pick was slightly cheaper than the Best Value pick, so compare both if your budget stretches.

For €75 you get free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and family rooms, plus the host's local help. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed, so check the rate details.

Why it made our top 3

Before you book

Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description and cancellation policy.

The listing shows 4 stars, which is unusual for a bed and breakfast. Judge it by the facilities and reviews rather than the star rating. If you travel with a pet, confirm the rules and any fee.
