Hi all. I am visiting southern Italy,

Hi all. I am visiting southern Italy, Bari region in August 2018. I am hoping to visit Bisceglie where my ancestors were from before they immigrated to the USA. Any tips on where to stay? It seems like a very small town with little acommodation so I am wondering if I should set up shop in Bari and drive there for day trips. Any tips on the town and language classes in the area are appreciated!
