The Sevenmaze Charming House and Hotel 90 are near the Ognissanti Church.

The Hotel Riviera is situated 18 kilometres from the main part of Valenzano. Or, alternatively, the Masseria Agrituristica Lama San Giorgio is positioned 9 kilometres away. Two other hotel options include the Tenute D'Onghia and the Relais del Marchese.

Once you've checked out Valenzano, why not enjoy the other sights around Puglia? If you love nature, be sure to explore Puglia's rural landscapes and beaches. Alternatively, spend time at the area's ruins, castles and traditional villages. Visitors and locals alike in this section of Italy enjoy mountain biking.

Don't shoot through before you have checked out the Fiera del Levante, Lido San Francesco and Piazza del Ferrarese in Bari. The Hotel Terranobile Metaresort and Hi Hotel Bari are just some of the great hotel and apartment alternatives in Bari. Or, you could consider staying in Polignano a Mare, 25 kilometres to the east of Valenzano, where you'll find the Villa Angela and La Conchiglia Apartment. If you're staying in Polignano a Mare, set aside a little time to check out the Pino Pascali Museum, Beach of San Vito and Cala Paura Beach.

Just because you're far from home, doesn't mean you can't indulge in your passion for sport. Stadio San Nicola can be found 7 kilometres to the northwest of Valenzano. The Grand Hotel Leon d'Oro and the Olive Tree - Hostel are near all the action.

Travellers planning on arriving through Karol Wojtyla Airport may like to book some accommodation at the Hotel Riviera or the Best Western La Baia Palace Hotel, which are both a short trip away.
