Info & Description

This is a Day hostel (as well as night, of course). If your train comes in early in the morning (and most of the ferries depart in the late afternoon or early evening) we can offer you transport to and from the hostel/train station/port/beach. A day stay also includes hot showers, bed (clean sheets included), luggage deposit, and anything else a weary traveller would need for their day stay in Bindisi. The day stay rate is 7.00 Euros all inclusive. (Train station luggage deposit and a shower in any public facility would cost 8.00 Euros without extra services).

Our young, English speaking personnel will make sure that you’ll find a warm, welcoming, international, and relaxed atmosphere. We offer everything you may need for the perfect break during your trip. The building itself is open, spacious and airy, and there are places to relax, read, enjoy the sun, and of course there is a vibrant social atmosphere at no extra charge.

We are also close to the beach and harbor and provide daily trips to the beach, drop off and pick up in time to catch the ferry.

There is no lock-out. There are 2 TVs (satellite) and the occasional film to enjoy. There is also music and caring staff. The atmosphere here is very homey and enjoyable: you won't want to leave!


Our facilities include: internet access, laundry, library & book exchange, bar/café (open reeeeaaally late), private parking, darts & pool table, and a cozy fireplace to warm yourself and socialize by when its cold. There are also delicious home cooked meals for lunch and supper (served outside under canopy in the summertime) some of which are local favorites, and a small breakfast of cakes, fruit, juice or coffee. (Breakfast is included in room price)

The bar and café are private and prices are cheaper than local bars.

***We require 48 hours notice for any cancellations, change to the date or length of stay or you will be charged for the entire stay booked***

    the bathroom was really not clean at all, and was for women and men... or maybe nobody explain to me what was the organisation.... because the shower were not private !!! it was not a good experience.

    A nice atmosphere, helpful and nice staff, clean, breakfast included, generally I recommand, a bit far away from the station but with a bus you get directly to the hostel :) and to the beach also good connection!

    Carpedium is a fantastic place to meet new people, have fantastic meals cooked by the chef/owner Maurizio and generally have a laugh. It's perfect as a gate towards Eastern Europe and for anyone passing through the area. If you're planning to stay at Brindisi, make sure you book your room here!

    the owner of this hostel is a very special character. just two possibilities: you like him - your stay is going to be fun. you don't like him - you will move out of there as fast as posibble. bedides that: the hostel itself is nice, though it is far away from the train station.
