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.

The property was lovely and right next to the sea. We stayed in the annex which was easy to access and comfortable/clean. The breakfast was night and the views are incredible.
