Excellent location by the sea. Wonderful breakfast. Outstanding restaurant. Service was very friendly and helpful. Many shops and restaurants were within walking distance.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful location but not the most comfortable

Beautiful location but not the most comfortable stay The hotel is in a great spot — very well located in Polignano a Mare with stunning views. However, the beach below is more for admiring than enjoying: very rocky, rough sea, and not ideal for swimming or lounging. The hotel itself is charming, but comfort could be improved. The bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable, and the bathroom was quite small. That said, if you’re planning to stay in Polignano, it’s still a solid choice overall — just manage your expectations.

Great location and the use of the terrace with spa was amazing. Staff were ok but they seem to find tourists bothersome. Great views over the sea.
