One of the few rest area options in Bari. Nestled between buildings, with a car wash and parking, but quiet at night, at least when we were there. Neat and clean, with loading and unloading options, and a hot shower. The campers are attached, but if you're visiting Bari, livability in the rest area doesn't matter. The manager is very helpful. There's video surveillance. The supermarket is nearby, and a little further down the road is a fruit, vegetable, and fish market. The city center is a 30-minute walk or bus ride away.

Calling it a rest area isn't accurate: it's effectively a parking lot with an exorbitant price for what it offers: €25 + €5 for electricity for 24 hours. The spaces available for vehicles are minimal, with a distance of just over a meter between them. The only positive aspect is being a 2.7 km walk from Bari Vecchia. Otherwise, the value for money is decidedly poor.
